<p>Hey all,
I was focusing on a service academy until I realized that I’m medically disqualified. I will be a senior next year, and am scrambling to find some new schools. I’d really like to work with the military, maybe in the development/distribution of new technology, and the business side of international relations interests me. I’m really into the Middle East, if that helps. What majors/schools do you think would fit my stats and interests? Is business school a good idea? Any ideas about possible careers? Like I said, I’m hoping to work with the military in some way. Thanks!
My Stats:
Pretty normal suburban CT high school.
GPA: 4.0 unweighted
SATS: 740 Critical Reading, 660 Math, 800 Writing (2200)
AP’s- 5 on Govt. this year, English next year
Extra:
Varsity Indoor Track, Varsity Outdoor Track, Varsity Softball, JV XCountry
Editor of School paper
Vice President Student Council
Mock Trial 4 years
200+ community service hours
NHS
This summer-> Girls State, West Point Summer Leaders Seminar</p>
<p>This would probably get more responses in the chances thread, or maybe college admissions, I think. </p>
<p>Business is always a good idea, in my opinion, if you aren’t really set on anything else. If you like the Middle East, IR sounds good. You’ve got a great GPA, good SATs–you might want to pull the math grade up in the 700s. I think you’ll have a great chance getting in to some great schools, whatever you decide.</p>
