Tina Biltz is a history teacher at Elyria High School. She's also the Student Council Advisor. There are very few events going on at Elyria High that Tina isn't part of. In fact, she's often on the organizing committee and many times that committee is made up of Student Council members. As Elyria High gears up for "the senior season"-- when so many of the special recognitions and events take place for the Senior Class--we caught up with Tina on Petey Podcast to talk about the role of Student Council in making these moments memorable.  One of Student Council's signature events is the Scholastic E Awards Ceremony. "The Scholastic E Award is given to seniors who've achieved a 3.75 GPA or higher for seven semesters, which is basically their whole career," Biltz said.  This year, 74 seniors have earned the Scholastic E and will receive the honor on April 28, 2022 at the official ceremony. It was such fun catching up with Tina during the show and learning about the many roles of Student Council. Take a listen!

# 074 – Your academic record will be the first part of your application to be checked by the college admission officers of the schools to which you will apply. The courses you take and the grades you receive make up a big part of your academic record. On this episode, we focus on the importance of grades as part of your transcripts, and how they are reported as a Grade Point Average. Jankel and I uncover the difference between unweighted and weighted GPA, and the reason why most schools, especially the more selective ones, will pay particular attention to weighted GPA. As the episode reached the mid-point, we present examples of two students who took various courses, including one who took higher-level courses. Through these examples, we analyze the importance of taking high-level courses, and the effect these have on weighted GPA. Towards the end, we present the steps students could take if they graduate from high school with grades that are too low to get into the colleges or universities they dream of attending. There is a very important step they could take, which may make their dreams a reality. You can access the show notes for this episode at https://collegemetropolis.com/74. Please help us reach a wider audience by giving us a 5-star rating and leaving us a positive review. That, plus telling your friends about us, is the best thing you can do to help our podcast. Thank you!

#069 – The information in your high school transcripts is the first element of your college application that will be scrutinized by the college admission officers of the colleges to which you will apply. The classes you took, the grades you earned, and your GPA, will all come together to give them an idea of how prepared you are for college. On this episode, Jankel and I explore this and everything else related to your academic record. At the beginning of the episode, we explore the reasons why your academic record is so important to your chances for admission. We also discuss the choices a student has if the academic record of that student has not been the best. The truth is, even when students have had a poor academic record, there is a lot they can do to fix it and strengthen themselves academically, to enjoy much better chances for admission. We continue our talk by going over a very important and often-misunderstood subject; the required high school courses for different colleges and universities, may be slightly different. Not knowing those differences may severely limit a student's chance for admission. We compare the course requirements to grauate from high school in California, as well as the high school course requirements for admission into schools within the California State University system, UCLA, and Stanford University. Towards the end, we explore a video presented by the Admissions Department at the University of Pennsylvania, which explains the details of how they analyze each applicant's academic record and their overall preparation for success at the university. The video was very rich and confirmed plenty of the information we have been sharing with our audience since our first episode.

This week's topic was a viewer suggestion from www.ivypanda.com regarding why it's important to have a good Grade Point Average. We'll talk about what a GPA is and how it's calculated. We'll discus why it's important to have a high GPA and then we'll dig into some of the key benefits to having a high GPA and the downfall of not having a high GPA. Finally we'll talk about some tips and tricks to get your GPA where it need to be and how to keep it there.

Grade Point Average. Have you figured out this  Shakespearean-code-like acronym? What exactly does  a 3.2 or 3.6 really mean? Make this number work for you instead of against you.

Javari Chritton was once one of the most rising stars in the Nba. But some poor choices have made his life spiral into chaos. Poor decisions led to tragic results and someone had to pay.

#039 – We continue covering two elements of the senior year checklist that have everything to do with financial aid. It is in the senior year when students apply for financial aid. Different colleges and universities have different financial aid eligibility requirements, and they must be taken into consideration when applying for financial aid. These include, but are not limited to Grade Point Average and number units taken during a quarter or semester. Jankel provides an explanation of the different financial aid elements that may be available to students, including, different grants, scholarships, work-study jobs, and student loans. She also goes over expectations placed on colleges and universities that receive Title IV funds, by the U.S. Department of Education. We cover basic eligibility criteria for financial aid, including the need for male applicants to register with the Selective Service System. Additionally, provide examples of the differences in financial aid eligibility requirements of two popular universities in Southern California. These are UCLA and California State University, Los Angeles. We finish the episode by going over some of the steps to take to apply for financial aid by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.

#035 – We have reached one of the most important parts of the senior year checklist, filling out the college application. Today, we explore every area of the application and provide you with advice that will you avoid some of the pitfalls that, in the past, have affected others at this stage in the process. We will discuss the information you will need to fill out the application, including personal information and information about your parents. We also go over elements about your academic history and achievements that you may have been earned while in high school, which will also be included in your application. Our discussion also uncovers details about the Common App, which will more than likely be used by the colleges and universities to which you will apply. We suggest students pay particular attention to three components of the application that necessitate the input of other people, and therefore, may hold back the application itself. That is something we do not want for any student to experience. And lastly, we make an important announcement about a new episode of our podcast that will be uploaded in the middle of the week, and will concentrate on the hottest careers and professions now and in the near future. You can find the show notes for this episode at https://collegemetropolis.com/35. Please help our show grow by letting others know about us and by giving us a 5-star rating. That will ensure that we reach many other high school students and their parents, and that they benefit from the information we share on the podcast. We would really appreciate it. Thank you!

2017-02-28 Special EnglishThis is Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing. Here is the news.China has started to build a new-generation supercomputer that is expected to be 10 times faster than the current world champion.This year, China is aiming for breakthroughs in high-performance processors and other key technologies to build the world&`&s first prototype "exascale supercomputer", the Tianhe-3. The prototype is expected to be completed early next year."Exascale" means it will be capable of making a quintillion calculations per second. One quintillion is written as 1 followed by 18 zeros. That is at least 10 times faster than the world&`&s current speed champ, the Sunway Taihu-Light, China&`&s first supercomputer to use domestically designed processors. The new computer will be available for public use and can help tackle some of the world&`&s toughest scientific challenges with greater speed, as well as better precision and scope. Tianhe-3 will be made entirely in China, from processors to the operating system. It will be stationed in Tianjin and will be fully operational by 2020, earlier than the same product planned in the United States. The exascale supercomputer will be able to analyze smog distribution on a national level, while current models can only handle information from one region at a time.This is Special English.China will test how its largest solar drone performs near-space flight this year.The rainbow series drone has a wingspan of more than 40 meters, bigger than of Boeing 737 passenger air craft. The drone has just passed its first full-scale test flight.This is one of the largest solar-powered drones in the world, second only to a model by NASA in the United States. A chief engineer says its performance index and technological capacity are among the most advanced in the world. The drone is capable of flying at an extremely high altitude for a long period of time and its maintenance is easy and simple. It can travel to an altitude of 30 kilometers, with an maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour. The unmanned aerial vehicle will be used mostly for airborne early warning, aerial reconnaissance and disaster monitoring.You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing. A drug to treat cancer manufactured in China has hit the market. The release has ended an almost decade-long monopoly by a similar product developed in Britain and introduced to China in 2005.This is a generic targeted drug, meaning this pharmaceutical is equivalent in dosage, effects and quality to the original product manufactured by its developer. Generic drugs often become available after the patent protection on the original drug expires.This drug&`&s product name is Yiruike. It is a much-needed first line medicine used in targeted therapies against non-small-cell lung cancer, which accounts for around 80 percent of lung cancer cases in China.Lung cancer kills more people than any other cancer in China. Almost 600,000 people die from lung cancer in the country every year, with more than 700,000 new cases being seen annually.With the price of less than 2,000 yuan per pack, the new drug is a fraction of the one previously used, meaning that more people in need can be helped.This is Special English.A Chinese health alliance has agreed to promote the use of peak flow charts on both physical paper and smartphone apps to monitor the breath for children suffering from asthma.The alliance is joined by the State Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Diseases, the Beijing Children&`&s Hospital, and the Chinese Pediatric Society under Chinese Medical Association.One professor on respiratory diseases says parents&`& knowledge, compliance with medicine instructions, and regular monitoring remain key factors to control childhood asthma.Asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory conditions for children. China has more than 6 million children with asthma. Almost 30 percent of them do not seek treatment in time and more than two thirds have reported asthma attacks.Some people have benefited from regular peak expiratory flow monitoring but find the process is a hassle. A professor recommended using newly-developed smartphone apps that only require the user to breathe into an accessory connected to the phone. It automatically records the reading and produces a chart. Better still, the results can be shared via a smartphone with the family and the doctor.You&`&re listening to Special English.

International cooperation in the process will be strengthened.5G is much faster than 4G. It is more reliable and can be used to support virtual reality technology, ultra-high definition video transmission, autopilot and smart manufacturing.This is Special English.Tsinghua University has denied suggestions the university&`&s new system of admission for international applicants has made it easier for foreign students to get a chance to study in the university.A heated debate was triggered following media reports that an updated procedure had been adopted for the university&`&s international student recruitment.According to the new rules regarding undergraduate programs, one will be admitted by the university if the applicant passes two hurdles: an "Online Application" and a "Comprehensive Evaluation", which includes an application review and interview.Outstanding applicants recognized by Tsinghua University may have the interview waived and get an offer directly.One of the main differences from the previous rules is that applicants don&`&t have to take an academic test.Critics say this has made it much easier for foreigners to get into Tsinghua University, especially those who are originally Chinese citizens.In response, the university has said the new rules do not lower standards for international applicants.Applicants are required to provide a National and Regional Graduation Examination certificate, or a Matriculation Examination Certificate.If applicants don&`&t have that certificate, they have to provide the Grade Point Average and the academic ranking certification from their high school.You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Ryan Price in Beijing. Car-sharing services provided by a number of companies in Beijing are striving for a place in China&`&s burgeoning sharing economy. But they will encounter disappointment unless they avoid or remove the costly speed bumps ahead.Some of these services are Gofun Chuxing launched by Beijing Shouqi Group and Car2go under the automobile giant Daimler AG.The sharing cars, mostly powered by electricity are in good condition, and can be ready for first-time users in minutes once they finish the required registration via the service app. In some cases they cost less than taking a cab. One of the companies offers services for a refundable deposit of 700 yuan, roughly 100 U.S. Dollars. Following that, a passenger has to pay only 1 yuan per kilometer and 0.1 yuan per minute for a ride.However, like their bike-sharing counterparts such as Mobike, the car-sharing apps are struggling to keep illegal parking in check and bring unruly users out of the dark. There are also worries that traffic accidents involving these vehicles become more complicated issues.This is Special English.Archaeologists have discovered a cluster of tombs with boat-shaped coffins that are 2,200 years old.The tombs were found in southwest China&`&s Sichuan Province. A total of 60 tombs are scattered in an area of 10,000 square meters.The boat-shaped coffins are made of nanmu, a precious wood for making furniture and coffins.Archeological diggings have been finished on 47 of the tombs.Archaeologists say the site was the graveyard of an ancient indigenous tribe called Shu, which was part of the Shu Kingdom.The discoveries include more than 300 pieces of pottery, bronze, iron and bamboo items as well as weapons, coins and a dozen marking seals.In one of the tombs, ten bamboo baskets of well-preserved grain were found, as well as a string of crystal beads surrounding the waist of the occupant. Scientists say the delicate crystals indicate that the occupant was a wealthy person and the crystals had probably been imported from other countries via the Silk Road.As the area is surrounded by ruins of ancient salt wells, experts say the occupant was possibly a salt administration official. This is not the first time that boat-shaped coffins are found in the area.The local government is planning to build a theme museum to display the findings.This is the end of this edition of Special English.
