<p>What are you guys interested in studying?
HMMM?</p>
<p>Mathematics, most likely</p>
<p>My other options are classics and biology.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I just learned that my two college years of Ancient Greek (taken at the U. of C., mind you) will not be counted as part of a classics major. Greek is living hell for me; I do enjoy hell, really I do, but maybe not two more years of it (which would have to be Advanced Greek and a grad course in Greek). Classics could be out.</p>
<p>Time will tell. I can't say that math is a cakewalk, though.</p>
<p>physics and music minor. no, im not azn.</p>
<p>i am going into the classics, i believe. i want to do classical archaeology in grad school if at all possible... i know uchicago has an archaeology program. i tried taking greek at the university here butttt that became a bust. (shakes fist) high school class schedules suck.</p>
<p>i am also really interested in geology, italian, and near eastern languages and civilizations.</p>
<p>i also think its cool that i can learn akkadian at uchicago. ahahaha</p>
<p>UChicago's classics dept is one if the best in the country, by the way.</p>
<p>And you know the U. of C. is in charge of the foremost sourses on the Akkadian language and civilization, with its 10+ volume encyclopedia-type book still being worked on. Plus there is the Oriental Institute. . .</p>
<p>Biochem for me, at least for now. </p>
<p>Classics sounds really cool, but I'm so bad at that stuff. Also really bad at history. I think I'm the typical asian - good at science/math. Well, I love english too, so maybe not THAT typical. Haha.</p>
<p>i want to minor in piano. and maybe french.
i applied as a french major. but most likely my major will change.
i want to study psychology, german, maybe the classics (although i suck at literature stuff, i think it seems fun when i looked around their classics dept on the uchic website). maybe continue chem/bio. iono too many things i want todo -_-;;</p>
<p>oh, katharos. i know.</p>
<p>i know. ;)</p>
<p>hopefully, if i can handle it, bio neuroscience and linguistics [or psych] double major. if AP credit works out, i think it'll be okay. :}</p>
<p>That sounds incredibly cool, yet difficult.</p>
<p>suprisingly, especially between neurosci and psych, there is a lot of overlap, which wouldn't make it as bad as it looks.</p>
<p>True, true. One of the reasons I really enjoy psych, there's a lot of bio stuff in it. </p>
<p>Do you know what career you want to pursue?</p>
<p>either research or some sort of language/brain specialist, perhaps some kind of pediatrics.</p>
<p>is it true that when u apply to chicago they really don't care what major u put down since you're just asked to declare your interests, not major?</p>
<p>yep, nobody has to officially declare until the end of their second year. i love that.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm thinking about research too - or maybe pharmacy.</p>
<p>Classics, like Tiffany! I've heard so much about the UofC's classics department, and that's part of the reason why I applied. I can't wait to get there and just jump on all the resources. Languages are also a huge interest of mine (especially the ancient).</p>
<p>i interned in our hospital's oncology research pharmacy during my junior year and, believe me, there are some AMAZING opportunities beyond pill-bottle-stuffing if you educate yourself well enough. i loved what went on there... all of it was so groundbreaking and yet, so well-documented and methodical. pharmacy fascinates me... heck, i'd be just as happy there as being a "brain surgeon" [except i couldn't ever do surgery... too short for the table xD]</p>
<p>One of the nations top (graduate level) pharmacy programs that is perennially ranked in the top 5, is in Chicago, but at UIC...</p>
<p>Yeah, I know about UIC, a few of my friends are in GPPA for pharm... but I just couldn't bring myself to apply there - not when I go to high school across the street!</p>
