Default College?

Mind you, I'm still new.

But I've notice there are a lot of younger people on here, in the range of high school or college. So, I'm curious. Where do you plan, or where are you going, for college?

What major are you planning for?


Personally, I plan on going to Johnson and Wales in Charlotte, North Carolina and majoring in Baking and Pastry arts.

I wanna know about you!

I'm dropping out to get my GED at a local community college, and then continuing to go to that college to get my Associates Degree, and then transferring to a University to get my Bachelors. And I'll be majoring in Psychology, and I'd like to minor in something regarding Child Services, but I'm not sure what yet.

Going to Mt. St. Mary's in northern Maryland... majoring in Biology, and (hopefully) double minoring in music/arts and chemistry.
I'm on a path towards my own destruction... I can feel it

I'm not really sure where I'm going yet, but I plan on studying architecture or some other type of engineering.

My first choice right now is Iowa State University, but I'm really interested in going somewhere out on the West Coast. Only problem with that is my parents would freak out. They really want me to stay somewhere close to home.

Default Re: College?

Junior (11th grade for non-NA) here, applying to:

In order of picks:
1. Stanford University (Early Action application) (tie)
1. MIT (tie)
3. Frank W. Olin College of Engineering
4. Harvard University
5. University of Pennsylvania, Wharton
6. Rice University
7. University of California, Berkeley

That's the list for now. I think I have a good chance of getting into at least one of those, so I'll see how it goes (one year and I'll know).

Going to SFU next year for Computer Science.

Almost went to UBC, but SFU ended up being what seemed like the best choice.

I wish you some serious luck with a list like that! College admissions this year was ridiculously competitive, and supposedly next year is going to be the peak of competitiveness. My list was comparable: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Pomona, Georgetown, Middlebury. I finally decided on Georgetown just recently, but I was rejected from all the Ivies I applied to except Dartmouth, and I really thought I had a shot at the others! Well, I guess if I work my ass off in college, there's always grad school at a place like H.Y.P.

edit: BTW I have a friend at Olin who absolutely loves it! Free tuition is hard to pass up, not to mention its an incredible new school

I'm going to study Pre-Veterinary for sure and hopefully go on to vet school.

I would love to go to Smith College in Massachusetts, but every time it gets brought up my mom calls it a lesbian school. If there's any all-female college out there- she won't hesitate to call it a lesbian school.

I fell in love with Smith before I knew it was all-girls >.<
Whether it's boys or girls, I don't scare! I just want a good private school.
