<p>Based on this information, what college would you think I fit best with?</p>
<p>As of now, my top choice is human ecology which I wrote an essay about how I want to be a dentist, and my secondary choice was AEM which I wrote about how it is different than economics anywhere else and it sparks my interest. Let me know.</p>
<p>I really don’t know from looking at the things you did.
If Dentistry is what you are most comfortable with and have the MOST to say, then you can try Human Ecology or CAS or CALS.
If you think you have a real foot into economics and would realllllllly want to be very knowledgable in it to be able to change our economy, then AEM wouldn’t be a bad choice as well.
I’d rather stay with the major and the corresponding college that I would have the most to say about. If those two are, then I’m pretty sure you’ll have a great chance.</p>
<p>I would say apply first choice to CAS undecided, and write your essay about exploring your options in HS, and then how you want to narrow them in college and how CAS could help you acheive an education of both breadth and depth.</p>
<p>I ended up with a 730 Math II and 650 Literature- is lit going to hurt me?</p>
<p>maybe… but then again test scores are not emphasized</p>
<p>I couldn’t get a feel for what interests you, either. HumEc is very fit based, as well as AEM. This means that if you do not have any significant experience in the field you are applying to, you will not have the upper hand. I would have to agree, based on what you’ve put, that CAS may be your best option.</p>
<p>Test scores won’t hurt. 600+ is generally a plus.</p>
<p>I agree with what y’all have said, I adopted the CAS idea and wrote an essay about that. I really don’t have any experience with either of the subjects other than that they seem fun (honestly) and I’m taking AP econ second semester (so I haven’t even taken it yet)</p>
<p>Good luck! if you want to PM me your essay when your finished to prof read it, id be glad to.</p>
