<p>what do those mean?</p>
<p>Pre-professional education means training in a profession that requires additional education and a license or certification; e.g., medicine, dentistry, engineering, psychiatry, education, law. So in the context of a freshman admissions application, one would guess that they're asking about your interest in pre-med, pre-law, post-bacc, etc.; e.g., do you plan to attend a specific medical school?</p>
<p>no i am not</p>
<p>Well, that was a rhetoric question... but from your answer, it sounds like maybe you don't have any pre-professional interests. If you have plans to continue your education after your undergraduate degree (e.g., grad school), you might state those plans in place of pre-professional interests... if not, don't worry about it.</p>
<p>isn't grad school after ur bachelor degree?
(sorry but i am not familiar with all this...)</p>
<p>Yes. Your Bachelor's degree is an undergraduate degree. Grad school is what results in a Master's degree (e.g., M.A., M.S.), Doctoral degree (e.g., Ph.D.), or "Ab.D." (all but the dissertation -- don't get one of those!).</p>
<p>don't get a Ab.D?</p>
<p>Right... The grad school joke is, people who take all their classes but don't finish their dissertation (like a reeeeally long term paper), get an Ab.D. instead of a Ph.D. Ab.D. means "All but the Dissertation." And it means they did all that work with nothing really to show for it, because they don't get an actual degree without finishing all the requirements.</p>
<p>Sorry for the distraction; it's not something you need to worry about right now. It was just a joke. :)</p>
<p>right thank you very much</p>
