College Search & Selection

<p>Could someone please help me? I am a high school senior who is looking for some really decent all-around colleges. Mostly I am looking for a school with a good Chemical Engineering program mixed with a good Asian Studies/Japanese program. I can get into about any school with my standings, save Ivy League. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm running out of time, and I'm stumped.</p>

<p>Here's some information to give you all a good idea of where I stand.</p>

ACT: 33 (with writing)
SAT II: Math IIC: 750; Chem: 700; U.S. Hist: 710</p>

<p>No one can give you a good list of schools without knowing something about your financial situation. Do you need merit money? Will you qualify for plenty of financial aid (not afraid of loans?)? Or is money no object? Lists like Carnegie Mellon, Cal Tech., MIT, Penn, Duke, etc. only work if you qualify for aid (and don't mind loans) or if money is no object at all. </p>

<p>And, yeah, it's getting late. Get your list together! Good luck.</p>
