<p>hey guys.. i'm planning to major in some engineering field, like electrical engineering or aerospace etc...
i want to keep medical school and option and i might switch to biology depending on which i like better.</p>
<p>which schools should i apply to?
UCSD
UCLA
UCB
USC
Cornell
Brown
Harvard
Yale
MIT
Harvey Mudd
Rice
Northwestern
Stanford</p>
<p>I'd dump Harvey Mudd. Apparently it's a wonderful place, but it still sounds to most people like a Sesame Street character. Also dump UCSD unless you like beaches and don't care about football. I can't believe a person could like BOTH UCLA and UCB. These two universities are sort of a Rorschach test--pick UCLA and you're likely a superficial boob who lucked out on the SATs; pick UCB and chances are you're a kneejerk anarchist who's ****ed you don't have a draft card to burn. I'd also cut the cord on Stanford--the architecture there is the definition of uninspiring. Is it too much to ask that for $40k per year you get a building or two that makes you want to read some Plato rather than order a #6 combo meal? Cornell? To cold, to difficult, to far from anything. Spend Friday nights trying to seduce an Ithaca co-ed who thinks Franklin Roosevelt charged up San Juan Hill with a kite with a key on it? I'll pass, thank you very much. The rest look pretty good except Harvard's too snobby; USC is in a ghetto; Brown's school color is BROWN; Northwestern is still on the quarter system and it's 2006!!; Yale's neighborhood would make USC students nervous; and Rice is in Houston. Back to the drawing board. One word: Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Sorry, make that too cold, too difficult, too far from anything.</p>
<p>BUMP</p>
<p>thanks for the replies</p>
<p>I'd just cut UCSD.</p>
<p>well i'm trying to cut the list down to about eight to nine colleges total.</p>
<p>K...</p>
<p>In addition to UCSD, I'd drop MIT, UCB, Stanford for a total of nine.</p>
