Can I make it into University of Nevada, Las Vegas?

Can I make it into University of Nevada, Las Vegas?
I reside in California in a public high school trying to get into UNLV for a hospitality management major. I have a 3.45 weighted GPA, a 1540 SAT score and a 25 on ACT. Do you think it is possible that I can get into UNLV? By the way, my status right now is "evaluation is in progress." Oh, I have extracurricular activities for volunteering at the City Hall for around 2 years, totaling to 117 hours. Also, I was just a general member (2x) for two clubs during the past four years. So it's pretty much just the volunteering hours as extracurricular activity.

If you don't, enroll at Southern Nevada Community College for 1 year and get your grades up.

Your SAT is mediocre, but your GPA is okay and your ACT is pretty good for UNLV. I think you stand a good shot at getting accepted as long as you had some good extracurriculars.

Where in Las Vegas, Nevada could I get a job at 14-15?
At the moment I am fourteen years of age and will be turning fifteen at the end of October. I am trying to find a job, but for every job I have looked at the minimum age is sixteen. I have not looked at a lot of Jobs but before I look at anymore I thought I would go on here and see if anyone had any suggestions. I will also be going to get a work permit soon. Other then that is there anything else I would need? Oh and one more thing, I am home schooled so after Summer is over am I still aloud to work the same hours? Thank you.

go to Nevada DMV. Otherwise here is the info from that page.

Penalties for violations include extending the restriction for six months or more and fines for repeated violations. Statewide Driving Curfew Drivers under 18 may not drive between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless they are traveling to or from a scheduled event such as school events or work.

I took classes at JRP in Las Vegas before. I didn't have enough money to continue so after 2 years I stopped with JRP.
2 :
I was ion denver JRP. What ever you do not go here. It is a scam. They will take your money and not help with your career other than learning that there are scams out there
3 :
My two friends go there... I've heard rumors that it's a scam. They say they're not really sure, and they're being cautious just in case. But I'm not sure myself.
4 :
Do a google search. You should have no trouble arriving at the right conclusion.
5 :
JRP is a franchise. This means each company is individually owned, and has no oversight. Most are money-making scams. Oddly, the Better Business Bureau lists the Las Vegas JRP as being closed. If you do a BBB search for other states, you'll find myriad complaints--mostly for "failing to provide services as promised."
6 :
It's a Scam! Sorry!
7 :
check them out with your local Better Business Bureau and also at www.ripoffreport.com. some are decent but most aren't I do know from talking to talent agents that having JRP on your resume is NOT a particularly good thing. Many agents think that JRP is a joke. It used to be respected in the industry but now it mostly relies on past glories. Yes, there have been some well known people who have attended their schools in the last decade but if you'll notice these people never thank JRP for helping them get their start in acting. that alone speaks volumes.

General opinions on University of Nevada: Las Vegas?

General opinions on University of Nevada: Las Vegas?
I would like to go there, but I haven't found much about opinions on it. Good school, bad school? If you are/were a student, that would be amazing! (But if you aren't, I'd still like to hear from you!)

actually to determine good/bad school is hard. it depends on us if we get a high marks and good result it means that school is good but fr those who failed=bad school. but my cousin went there to study and now as i know he really have a good job- my opinion it's really gud school
2 :
Depends on what you plan to have as a major. UNLV is not a top tier school, but a good school. Not only the education, but the area you will live in.
3 :
Here is the lowdown on UNLV from a former student. If you plan to major in hotel administration, hospitality management, management, marketing, business, international business, finance, economics, math, accounting, business computer systems management, gaming, travel and tourism- this is the school for you!! If you are planning to major in social work, psychology, counseling, biology, chemistry, physics, pre-law, pre-med- you would be best served elsewhere because you will be taught by all graduate students and will not have any opportunity to get hands on training- e.g. research assistant, lab assistant, internships, etc. If you are planning to major in nutrition sciences this is a good school though because it prepares you for graduate level training and to become a registered dietitian.

I've lived in Las Vegas, and have gone to UNLV for 4 years. What Dorethy said above is true about the majors, so I'll give a little different type of information. Good or bad, UNLV is a school that doesn't get a lot of funding. In fact, right now, we're fighting a proposed 8% decrease in funding.... that means less scholarships, less teachers, less classes, less class sections... it hurts on ALL fronts. Construction here is a major problem. In Vegas, we do as "Las Vegans" do.... tear down and re-build. Projects are abundant on campus, and that's not changing any time soon. In the last 4 years I've been on campus, I've seen (MSU, WRIGHT, Desert, Rec Center, Urban, Parking, SciTech) 7 construction projects, those NOT including the road construction around campus. Traveling to school is a nightmare, and most of the students are commuters (living off campus) Also, Parking in a horrible issue that has not been resolved in over 5 years. There aren't enough spaces for students, and the construction of new buildings on parking lots doesn't help. On another note, people on campus are very apathetic. We have over 23,000 students, but when it came to student elections this year, only about 1000 voted at all. Partly because we feel our student government accomplishes nothing, but partly because our school doesn't a solid identity. With most people commuting to school, participation in clubs and drives is very disappointing. No one wants to stay longer at school if they have to drive back home, or to a job. So... UNLV is very much like a larger community college.. people come to classes, but don't stick around for much else. Any other info you would like to know, don't hesitate to ask. I'd be more than willing to help ya out.
