<p>Hey, I'm new to this board and just wanted to get some opinions.</p>
<p>I'm currently a junior attending a large public high school in Florida, who suddenly realized college is coming >_<.</p>
<p>So I'm asking for some help in deciding where to go and how to get there.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what I want to do after college, but current interests are Medicine (asian parents) and Law (Probably more of the corporate kind)
Expecting to attend Med/Law School after College. </p>
<p>In any case, I want to be able to explore my interests in college and have some fun (not party school). Basically, not a restricting college like ITs. And preferably on the East Coast or Cali.</p>
<p>As of right now, I'm most interested in (or as interested as you can be after 3 weeks of looking lol):</p>
<p>Amherst
Princeton (fat chance)
Brown
University Of Mich (Lived there! )
University of Florida (more of a safety, or if I cant afford the others)
Stanford
Berkeley
Duke</p>
<p>Open to any and all suggestions. I'm planning college visits later this year, at least to the Northeast.</p>

<p>O and despite what my ECs show, I have no interest in becoming an engineer or heavily science related (besides a doctor), including in Computer Science</p>
<p>So yea, any suggestions on colleges and what I should be doing these years would be greatly appreciated. Thanks</p>
