Q. is it the university you went to or is it what type of person you are? right now im in high school looking at colleges and i also want to know which university i actually have a chance at getting into thats the best for that major. my high school gpa is about a 3.6 and im also involed in sports and clubs and im also a junior
A. Most important is the impressions you make at your job interview. It's been shown that the first 90 seconds is crucial. There's a number of automatic dis-qualifiers for most companies (though they'll typically deny it): earrings on men (or ear-holes — nobody is fooled...), facial hardware, tattoos, tobacco smell, ill-fitting suits, non prestige accents, cultural insensitivity (Indian/Pakistani men and women often lose out because of head-bobbing affectations, nose-rings, bindi/tilaki, etc). Yes, it may not be fair, but that's the way it is...
To get to the interview, the biggest factor is your GPA. The university name does count, but if the employer has come to your school to interview, then your school's eligibility is not in question.
I know that when I was interviewing for entry-level engineers, we would draw up a list of about ten schools (two weeks of interviewing). These were not necessarily the elite Engineering schools. Then select students to interview based on their resumes. GPA was the biggest factor, followed by whatever else caught our eye on the resume, prizes in Engineering contests, evidence of wide interests or learning (for me, anyone taking Philosophy, Latin, or Russian Literature automatically got an interview).

I have a question regarding God's commands in the Old Testament; can anyone help?
Q. Levitus and other Old Testament books have so many rules. It even talks about not getting tattoos(Levitus19:28)! Do they apply anymore, since we have the New Testament now?
A. The Law against tattoos was put there because God wanted His people to be separated from the pagans around them who would do things like trim their beards in a certain way and get tattoos as part of their "dressing up" for their pagan worship ceremonies.
While God still calls His people to be separated from pagans, things like tattoos have to be understood in the cultural contest of why the law was given. It's like I don't think God wants His children to get tattoos of skulls or naked women because that wouldn't be a good representation to the world of the values of a child of the living God of Heaven.
As to the different laws in the Old Testament, all of the moral laws are still in full effect because they represent God's unchanging plan for how the people that He made in His image are to conduct themselves on His planet.
The sacrificial, ceremonial, and holiness laws which were meant to be outward symbols of the inner holiness that God desires His people to exhibit have all been fulfilled by the Lord Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
Matthew 15:16 So Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 20 These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."
Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. 16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.
Hebrews 10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect...11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
Christians are now under the Law of Love
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said to him, 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'
Romans 13:9 For the commandments, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY," "YOU SHALL NOT MURDER," "YOU SHALL NOT STEAL," "YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS," "YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
