<p>I know what you mean 
I am really interested in:</p>
<p>Politics
International relations
Psychology
Medicine
Neuroscience
Neareast studies
Chinese
Arabic
Hebrew
Religious studies
Women’s studies
Sociology
Public health
Math
English
Dance. </p>
<p>And I actually want to major in everything except math and dance ;)</p>
<p>No school again tomorrow.</p>
<p>…ridiculous. April Vacation is going to be gone by the time that we go back.</p>
<p>@unsaidpromises: What would you like to know?</p>
<p>Damn, I left out politics, IR, public policy, religious studies and womens’ studies. Thanks for the reminder 
</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t think I could handle pure math…not my thing. :/</p>
<p>Arabic is a really cool language! I want to learn it but I think I should shore up the above ones, first!</p>
<p>Haha, no problem ;)</p>
<p>I tried to figure out a way to take more than 32 courses in college. I probably won’t.</p>
<p>No, I am not a super abstract person either. I am better in analysis than statistics, and I love geometry, but you can chase me with probability. I am quite glad that German schools teach all of the integral stuff and vectors and all that, I feel quite lucky that by the time I’ll finish I’ll be done with calculus. I am not quite sure which level of math is required for Neuroscience. With my luck, probability and statistics. It’s parts 12 here, so I shall make my way to bed. </p>
<p>Night guys!</p>
<p>hey ecouter11, maybe you should look at linguistics… It involves most of your interests, except maybe the “hard biochem” part of neuroscience as well as physics (though you said you would like to double major in it). </p>
<p>Well, actually, kind of you too, SophieIsabel.</p>
<p>I think for neuroscience you have to take up to like differential equations or something (past calculus, that much I know for sure). I shall look it up sometime soon. </p>
<p>Pure math seems like such a boring major. To me, anyways. I would do applied math if I truly were interested in math, but I’m not. </p>
<p>For me, my major is very likely to be neuroscience, though I have contemplated bioinformatics (my independent research stuff). I probably could not handle a double major, but if I could, I would probably double major in neuroscience and creative writing. Otherwise, I want to minor in linguistics, music, photography, or creative writing.</p>
<p>Bad news -
Another B- on ap calc bc test ><</p>
<p>Good news -
figured out I’ll have the highest GPA in my grade~!</p>
<p>bumppppppp</p>
<p>I finalized my schedule for senior year, I’m turning in my registration sheet tomorrow!~</p>

<li>Horticulture III</li>
</ul>
<p>Fellow Class of 14’ers: Where are you planning on applying next year? What is your “dream school” and/or what are your top choices? What are you planning on majoring in? I’m curious to see what everyone else is interested in. :)</p>
<p>UCB - affordability plus Haas Business School</p>
<p>Planning to apply to ~14 schools (most of Ivy League, UC-Berkeley, USC, UCLA, two state schools, UChicago, and some more I’m forgetting). Harvard would be ideal, but is obviously a stretch.
I’d like to major in biochem/sciences. Yay for being in the majority -_____- Plus I’m half Asian half white, so that doesn’t help. whoopdeedoo.</p>
<p>Well, I would really love to go to Brown (the only Ivy I could see myself at. Yale’s air quality would probably kill my weak lungs), but that seems highly unlikely. </p>
<p>UCSD is the best in terms of affordability, location, and fit for me. </p>
<p>Others I am looking at are Bryn Mawr, Wellesley, Smith, Pitzer/Pomona/Scripps, UCSC, UChicago, University of Rochester and Tufts. Not many, but I guess that’s OK. I’m just counting UCs as one school (all the same app). Right now, though, I’m not thoroughly researching colleges - I’ll wait until summer, to see if my upward trend plan works.</p>
<p>NYU
Columbia
UChicago
Stanford
Northwestern
BU
Carnegie Mellon
Washu
Brandeis
Nativ (Gap year in Israel)
UMD (I’m from MD)
Tulane
Tufts
Bard</p>
<p>At the moment Brandeis, Wash U and Columbia are at the top of my list. All reaches, but still. I’m visiting Northwestern possibly over Spring Break so that may change. I want to major in Chem, but would like to be able to do theatre wherever I go.</p>
<p>I’m probably applying to Stanford (SCEA) and Michigan (EA). Stanford is my “dream school,” but Duke, Cornell, and Berkeley are currently my other top choices. I’m also considering HYP, Columbia, Penn, Northwestern, JHU, Brown, CMU, USC, Case Western, BU, Northeastern, and some UC’s (UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, and UCD). It’s a lot I know, lol.</p>
<p>I’m planning to apply as a ChemE major or BME/BioE major depending on the school.</p>
<p>Wesleyan Uni & Carleton College are my tops. Brown was my dream once upon a time, but I honestly can’t see myself at an Ivy League anymore; I don’t have the stats for it.</p>
<p>Stanford
Harvard
Cornell
Berkeley
Michigan
Alabama
Minnesota</p>
<p>That rounds up the list of school I’m actually considering and will probably apply (maybe Louisville)</p>
<p>You are ambitious! But I guess it’s cc. </p>
<p>I threw Out all if the universities because I realized that I need a lot of personal attention. I am really insecure, and I can thrive only when I am not afraid to fail, which I kind of always am. So - no competitive schools for me, no large ones, no US news top 20.
I fell in love with Allegheny College, I like college of Wooster, Dickinson college, I might visit swarthmore and alike to find out whether I fit in, but I have a feeling that especially the New England LACs would not be mine. Oh, Kenyon and Oberlin, that would be perfect as well.
( I always have to write a text, I’m sorry.)</p>
<p>I would love to go to
Duke
Princeton
I could see myself at
Carnegie Mellon
Franklin W. Olin
North Carolina State
University of Massachusetts at Amherst, as they award National Merit people handsomely.
possibly UNC Chapel Hill.
I have yet to go on any real tours, so I haven’t gotten the real vibe if any of these yet.
It’s kind of hard to do any college related fairs or touring or testing when your parents have adopted a laissez-faire attitude toward your schooling in general.</p>
<p>I would love to apply for Brown, but don’t have the ECs/achievements for it.
Georgia Tech is too expensive.
University of Alabama might be an option, but not everyone with the stats gets the full scholarship…
Northwestern Polytechnic University in California has open admissions, but is $10,000/year, and while it offers CS as one of its three majors, I’d prefer a wider choice in general ed and electives.</p>
<p>Colleges that offer self-catering options would help immensely… but most colleges require a meal plan and though they have communal kitchens, it seems that no one cooks regularly. I know this is a stupid thing to consider.</p>
<p>Outside of the USA, I’m considering:
Technische Universit</p>
<p>Top choices:
Wesleyan U
NYU (not generous with financial aid though 
)
Oberlin College
Tufts U </p>
<p>Other choices:
University of Illinois UC (instate, so I’m likely to get in and it’s cheaper)
Ohio State (a bit big, but I that could turn out to be a good thing)
Cornell U (just to see what happens)
Northwestern U (same as Cornell)
Depaul U (safety)
Bradley U (safety)</p>
