any advice?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi guys, any advice you have for me would be welcome. I am way behind in the game and I am overwhelmed by the prospect of the college search/application process. It is already late september, I'm a senior, and I have yet to REALLY get into this whole college thing. So, what I want to know is, how in the world do i start to narrow down my search? The only places I know I want to apply are UCDavis, UCSD, UCSB. People have been suggesting schools like Oberlin, Carnegie Mellon, Miami University (in Ohio, lol i still think thats funny), and I did some research on them, but I still dont know what my chances are. Here is some information about me if it helps you in helping me at all. :)

<p>Aim higher. Also, IMO Miami (Ohio) is the worst school in the country. Most students there are ridiculously limited in their thinking.</p>
