Have taken 3 classes at Community College, GPA is 3.7
I am applying for RSI next year.

I plan to major in either CompSci,International Relations/Politics, Physics(for Ph.D in Astrophysics), or some type of Engineering(Aerospace,Electrical,Biotech)

I would love technology/engineering and business program too. But that isn’t needed.(I think Co-ops can help with that)

Thanks guys…I really want to go to college in Boston and I think Northeasterns Co-Op and study abroad programs look great.
