Freshman wondering about things.

Hello, my alias here is Palpitations, I created this account today. I’m a freshman, and currently I’m in a magnet program at a really good public high school. I was wondering if any people here know about good colleges for statistics/data science? I’m not really well-informed on it, I’m learning some of the basics, but it seems like an interesting field of study.

Also, I know that one motif on this site is “don’t look at others it will worry you” but I haven’t really done any extracurriculars? Is this worrisome as one of my dream schools is Columbia (legacy)?

Thank you so much for commenting and replying if you do.

You can start doing extracurriculars whenever you want. You may even be doing something that counts as an EC already but not realize it. What do you do outside of school and/or for fun?

@bodangles Nothing really. I’m learning to program in like Python and stuff which is kind of cool.
