<p>Another way is look at your strength. Normally most of people has lmited strength which somewhat limit the dirction and interest. You will be only interested in fields that you could do well. I have a niece, she is a model student and got into all the top schools but she wasn’t sure what she want to do. So she went to Harvard. Four years later, she is still a model student, could do Ph.D. in biology or medicine or law. She got into top school for all of them, finally she had to choose. So she chose Harvard Law School. She did well there and thereafter, but I wasn’t sure she is too happy either.So it is all up to individual, someone never know what he/she want.</p>
