<p>Hi,
My names Sophie and I am currently in grade 9 living in Canada.
I would like to go to University in America. I know its early, but I want to start getting ideas so I can work towards my goals before grade 12 comes. I know they can be expensive but money is not a concern and I am grateful that my parents can afford things for me. </p>

<p>I am interested in the following departments:
-Architecture and design
-Fashion/Design
-Phycology
-Marine Biology
-Zoologist </p>

<p>Thanks ! :)</p>

<p>Sophie, it’s too soon to give you much help here. But here are some questions you need to answer:</p>

<p>1) size of school you want (less than 3,000, 3,000-10,000, more than 10,000 students) (the really small ones have no grad students usually-liberal arts colleges)
2) location (what part of the country do you want to be in or want to avoid, does the weather matter, urban or rural or suburban)
3) what kind of culture-a big sports school? into frats/sororities? artsy or environmentally oriented? how intellectual or academically intense? religious? women only?<br>
4) do you have any unusual hobbies or interests that you plan to pursue and therefore need facilities to support you?</p>

<p>Finally, we need your grades and test scores to give you realistic choices. And where in Canada are you?</p>
