<p>I haven’t gone on CC for about two weeks… Just got back from Japan.</p>
<p>So Common App opens up on August 1st, not sure about the supplements. Most are out by then, but it depends.</p>
<p>Anyone going to boys/girls state?</p>
<p>Finished my app for Alabama today. There was no essay and no teacher recs, and it didn’t even ask for ECs or anything. Safe to say that’ll be my quickest one.</p>
<p>Wait, applications are up?</p>
<p>^Some are. Especially if they’re rolling admissions or state schools that don’t use the Common App.</p>
<p>Yeah Bama is the only one that is up so far for me. Unfortunately my counselor isn’t in school right now, so I won’t be able to send my transcript for awhile. So really I didn’t accomplish much.</p>
<p>I seem to switch off between fun summer and boring summer each year. Last summer was fun, so this one should be boring. So far, the law has held true.</p>
<p>^ On the bright side, next summer (the summer before college) will be fun. :)</p>
<p>what do u guys wanna major in?</p>
<p>It’s so confusing!!!</p>
<p>@22000andbeyondXD Computer Science or Software Engineering</p>
<p>I wanna major in sth that is practical… in which i can help people directly.but also something than push me to my limit… that is challenging. and interesting. So i was thinking medicine!</p>
<p>I can help people in the most direct way! And also do loads of research you know.
But again…</p>
<p>there are many majors out there… new majors.
But I don’t know that much about them
like biomedical stuff… and biochemical…</p>
<p>but aren’t those lab-oriented? like not much interaction with ppl and just lab work? I’m so confused!!! X(</p>
<p>@smart,</p>
<p>why?</p>
<p>what can you picture yourself doing?</p>
<p>hey i think this is worth posting a thread about it</p>
<p>Well I plan on majoring in bioinformatics or neuroscience. If I got into Brown or UofR, I could do both. Okay, well, some schools have computational neuroscience which is basically a mix of bioinformatics and neuroscience, such as CMU, UPitt, and UCSD.</p>
<p>State Your reasons please. What can you see yourself doing after graduating?!</p>
<p>Chemical engineering. I find chemistry really fascinating, and it pays pretty well. Plus it’s a highly versatile degree. </p>
<p>As for biomedical, I believe it is mostly lab work, but you would still be collaborating with other people. </p>
<p>Off the top of my head, other possible careers that you could help people directly would be physical therapy, psychology (not sure how becoming an actual psychiatrist works though), social work, and I suppose education.</p>
<p>what can you picture yourself doing after chemical engineering?</p>
<p>Tough to say, because there are so different things a chemical engineer can do, and a lot of those jobs aren’t even under the title chemical engineer.</p>
<p>But I suppose if I had to map out my career plan, I would start out as a junior engineer at a chemical plant, and work my way up until I can become plant manager.</p>
<p>I want to double major in Economics and Spanish with a minor in Political Science or Statistics. I hope to become an actuary and later on in life become an Economics and/or Spanish teacher, but I will do that around 50. I also want to start a non-profit in the future also.</p>
<p>Oh gosh…I should figure out what exactly I want to major in. As much as I love neurobiology, I think I’d like to major in something that’s not science, just to pursue my other passions. Maybe dance? I don’t know. Everything seems to be moving so fast, and yet I feel like I’m stuck in the same place. Can anyone relate, or is it just me?</p>
<p>Double major in biomedical engineering and economics. I want to found a biotech startup in Boston after college.</p>
