hi guys i’m a korean american female from southern california & currently am a rising senior. ik it might be a little early, but i feel the urgency to get down to finalizing my college list. i’m interested in an array of things, which doesn’t really help in refining my major or college choice. i went from wanting to be in the medical field (anesthesiologist), environmental engineer, to business admin/marketing/entrepreneur. i absolutely love it here in cali, but i do not mind going out to the east.
i prefer urban settings or at least a close radius to the city, but i do want a place that’s accessible to some scenery, etc (beaches, waterfalls, mountains, forests). i have an undeniably strong work ethic and out of everything my ability to spur out great ideas and be creative are one of my best qualities. i am a people person, more labeled as an outgoing introvert, i can talk and work up a good humor and really know how to sell myself in a crowd, but sometimes will shy away and be alone if i need to/feel like it. as of now, i am set on going into business after college, i’m sure it will change throughout my next four years, but it’s something that i feel is super versatile and can incorporate different aspects of other fields into it (health admin/chief sustainability officer)
so ill give you a list of colleges that i am looking into applying to, and if you can offer me any other ones that’d be awesome! btw i’m not much of a math person though i am good at it, i don’t enjoy it as much as writing or science. i can do well if i have supporting professors who are willing to guide me through it. i work best in a push environment where there is a set list of things for me to do it. as you can see when you give me freedom to choose, i have an extremely hard time because i want to experience and do everything or i simply don’t know what i want.
