Re: Where are you going for colleges?
I'm finishing up my junior year hoping to go to WPI for physics, probably with a math minor. I might even get to take some physics classes at RPI next year.

Hahaha, yeah I remember that. And then you got into stanford .Kokonilly wrote:Oh. Wow.

Well, now it's 16. Maybe even 17. And two early action schools.
My college admissions didn't go as well as I'd hoped, among my 6 target/reach schools I went 1 accepted/3 waitlisted/2 rejected. But hey, 1 is all you need.
So, unless I get off one of my waitlists (and even then I'm not sure I'd switch, would really depend on finances) I will be attending Tufts University this fall. I'm at least starting out as a Chemical Engineering major (I'm phrasing it that way because I think statistically most college grads change their major at least once).
Ah cool, I applied and got into both RPI and WPI. Liked both of them for different things, but they both gave me crap financial packages.blue cobra wrote:I'm finishing up my junior year hoping to go to WPI for physics, probably with a math minor.

Re: Where are you going for colleges?
I'm setting my sights on University of Chicago, or if a miracle happens, Harvard. I'll be applying to a lot of schools, but those are my top choice.

Re: Where are you going for colleges?
Well as only a Sophomore, I think I will attend Butler. Yes I know my avatar supports a different school, but that is something of an inside joke. Also, I had a good friend attend Oberlin which is still an option.
Butler just seems the perfect fit to me right now. It's a couple hours from home which is nice, not too far but not too close. Plus I would probably be able to walk on and continue to play football.

Re: Where are you going for colleges?
People who are familiar with CA, anyone have recommendations for schools to look into besides the obvious(Stanford, USC, UCLA, UC Berkeley). I've been thinking I wanna go to school out west, but I've hovered around a 3.3-3.4 GPA, so I probably won't get into the top schools.
