<p>so, ive been looking at colleges lately..could CC help me out a lil? so im interested in math/science, have many options. just dont know what exactly im looking for, what im passionate about, what would be best for me. only in math/science of course. im entirely unsure of what i will major in. any suggestions? links to help me out? advice? thanks!!</p>
<p>so, what are some good universities to start looking at? obviously, i dont wanna go to some prestigious college just for the name. so, any suggestions? or helpful material on teh internetz? thanks for helpin a brotha out</p>
<p>Start touring colleges near you - big, small, university, LAC, residential, commuter, urban, rural, etc. to get an idea of what you like/dislike. Talk to your guidance counselor about possible careers.</p>
<p>why don't you give us some stats: GPA, SAT, extracurriculars, etc. so we can help suggest some colleges that would fit for you</p>
<p>^alright, here's some stats:
2250 SAT, 34 ACT
currently Rank 1, GPA UW: 4.0
doing math club, science club, volunteering clubs, 2 sports- xc and track
im interested in engineering, math, physics, biology, etc. lol many options.
Also, I don't want to be isolated. the student population should be pretty large.
ill prob apply to some Ivies, some UC's, are there others i should look out for? like good research universities?
I've heard about Reed, Rice, Vandy, Oberlin from my friend who applied there. What's so good about those colleges?</p>
<p>Perhaps this board may be most useful when you've first done some preliminary work yourself.</p>
<p>If you do some searches on CC, eg "math"; "engineering"; etc. you will find many posts identifying colleges with good programs in these areas. They will also provide data on the student bodies at each school.</p>
<p>If you buy one of the many college guides that are available, you can find other information regarding size, location, etc. And general overviews. I suggest you go to a bookstore and skim a few, then buy one that you think you might find most useful. Or take one out of the library.</p>
<p>Once you've done that, have some idea anyway, you can address many more specific questions here using search. And then, where more clarifiation is desired, ask away.</p>
<p>^alright sounds good. ill go do some outside research first. thanks!</p>
