which college is best for me??

heythereeustina · 07-22-2008, 10:25 PM

Hi, i'll try to make this short.
rank: 10 out of 400, which is in the top 2.5%
program: IB
AP scores: comp gov 2, english comp 3, us history 3, calc bc 5
(i'm more into math and science)
GPA: 4.23

i prefer suburban settings and i see myself majoring in either biology, chemistry, but most likely some kind of mathematics
i love to learn about math and solve puzzles so i'm hoping to find a career that would be along the line of these. i saw myself becoming a doctor but still unsure...
ethnicity: asian (english is my second language)
sports: varsity soccer since freshman year, jv field hockey freshman year and varsity since sophomore
volunteer: peninsula fine arts center and riverside hospital at the emergency department
my SAT's were not very good (1850) i'm definitely taking it over and i'm hoping to get over a 2000, hopefully around 2100

please give me any suggestions on which colleges i could be researching on! early decision and early action deadlines are closing in

!

four years of varsity soccer? that's pretty impressive...are you looking to play in school?

Hmm.. As soon as I read "I prefer suburban settings" I thought about Northwestern University. Its in Evanston, IL, which is beautiful. Its also not too long of a train ride into Chicago (about 15 minutes.) Plus, Its a top 20 school.

i'm afraid that if i decide to play any sports in college i won't have time for academics :/ i wish i could play club or something that doesnt take away so much time
