<p>I'm currently a junior at a very competitive public high school that sends kids to top schools every year; last year kids went to columbia, princeton, yale, u of chicago, cornell, dartmouth, mit, and caltech (probably some others i'm forgetting). </p>
<p>I'm looking at the following colleges, but being a junior this is obviously no where near official:
Berkeley
Georgia Tech
University of Rochester (live in rochester and have done some programs there...don't know if that helps
Cornell
Johns Hopkins
University of chicago
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)
Ohio State (parents are alums)</p>
<p>As for majors probably molecular biology, aerospace engineering, or neuroscience</p>
