The time has come for me to look at schools with Poli Sci majors. I had my education planned out for my other asprirations, but with my recent decision to run for president, it need to change a bit.

Any schools that you know of with good programs? I would prefer you tell me about non-obvious ones like Harvard.

Thank you all.

Note: If you wanted to know for whatever reason, I had planned on Mills College, Sarah Lawrence or UC Berkley and possibly Asuza Pacific, The New School or University of Washington in Seattle.

I don't know of any schools but isn't 15 a bit young to be thinking about college? Good luck with whatever you choose.

Amy · 1st Dec 2008, 11:04 PM

I'm a planner. And I want to know the requirements for GPA, test scores and extra-curriculars.

I know the horror stories of not preparing...*is frightened*

It's never too young to look at colleges. I had planned early on that I was going to MCC for two years and then transferring to ASU. The only thing that changed was part way through my first year at MCC I decided to go to NAU instead. Planning ahead is a good thing. Sorry Amy, I don't know much about Poli Sci.

Agreed - though I changed my plans so many times when I was in school! I started looking at colleges when I was about 15 too, and I know that at some point I've considered pretty much everything within science/engineering.

I can't really help with suggestions for colleges, because all I really know is about colleges in Ireland and the UK, but I wish you all the best of luck

I am down to only four daycare kids. If my job fizzles out, I was thinking of going to college and studying political science. I was thinking the community college to begin with. If I have problems, I may call up Amy and say "HELP!" lol

If you want to run for President, look into some programs at George Washington, too.

I am a poli sci major at UConn, let me know if you need advice or have questions for me.

Amy · 3rd Dec 2008, 09:26 PM

^ Absolutly! ^

Yay, I have help!

Thank you all!

I have been looking into UCs and East Coast schools mainly. UCs would be cheaper and East Coast schools are...on the East Coast.

I'm researching these schools right now.
