What colleges do you guys want to go to?
Well I want to go to MIT or Harvard or Georgia tech
- typical ambitious girl
UPenn, NYU, Princeton - Business/Finance/Economics B.S
or
Columbia - Engineering B.S, and then UPenn - MBA
-typical Ivy girl
I’m trying to stay away from California colleges, otherwise I know Berkeley might also be good. I’ve basically grown up on the UCLA campus, so that’s a definite no for me. My parents want me to do engineering first and then business, but I’d prefer not to waste four years of my life doing something I really don’t like, and instead get directly into what I’d really like to do.
UCLA, UCI, UPenn, NYU, Northeastern- Nursing (BSN)!
I’m in CA and I’d rather stay instate since it’s cheaper, but UCLA and UCI are the only schools with direct entry for their nursing program.
I aspire to go to Stanford (I know I feel in love too early)… Stanford is pretty hard to get into, but my back-ups are Princeton, Brown, Yale(basically all Ivy League schools), Berkeley, and Howard (Howard is a HBCU and great in medicine). Also applying to my state school.
I have a list of 100 colleges, but I need to narrow it down!
@sternyc our most advanced track is Alg II > HL I > HL II > Multivariable Calc/Linear Alg. But then again my friend is doing MultiCalc/LinAlg in freshman year -_-
My dream school is Brown but Vassar, W&M, Grinnell, and W&L are high on my list. I’d like to check out Amherst/Williams/Haverford too
@gonfaloniere Lucky! My school only lets us skip one math in our entire school experience. 
I skipped Pre-Algebra, but we still have to take Pre-Calculus.
@sternyc It’s all good, I’m sure your school offers better courses in other areas. Our humanities and language departments are seriously lacking
Right now I really want to attend Johns Hopkins but that could change depending on how the rest of high school goes, and what I decide to study. As of right now I am definitely considering medicine or biomedical engineering.
What fields are you all interested in?
Our language department is actually quite nice, @gonfaloniere, since we have five languages, I believe, plus ASL and English, up till the IB HL 2 level. We surprisingly have a lot of history classes, too. Our science department has probably 20 classes or so of the H/AP/IB levels, which is really nice.
@sternyc we only offer 4 languages at all (French, Spanish, German, Latin, and no ASL) :/. And our history is pretty limited too if you’re on IB track, although we offer a fair number of social sciences (philosophy, sociology, psychology, etc.)
@Lbelle43 currently I’m interested in international relations and policy, so a career with the foreign service most likely
@Lbelle43 John Hopkins is one of my top ones, too 
I really want to become a doctor, specifically a neonatologist.
Some other colleges I’m probably gonna apply to are Brown, Stanford, UC Berkely (it would be nice to be near my dad’s side of the family in Northern California who I haven’t seen all that much), UF, NYU, Harvard, and Columbia.
@Lbelle43 @jakejake637 I also want to go into the field of medicine…I want to be a SURGEON!!!
I want to be either a computer programmer or a neurobiologist. What are some of the extracurriculars you guys are doing?
Eh, Mock Trial, AcaDeca, Speech and Debate, math olympiads, and maybe next year MUN or Journalism.
Anyone know of extracurriculars for nursing? I’m pretty sure I’m going to volunteer at a local hospital starting this summer, but is there anything else I can do?
@sewin2music Does your school/community have a HOSA team? If not, I think you can enter independently.
HOSA is a medical competition thingy.

@aspiringgirl I want to be a surgeon too! Pediatric surgeon, specifically.
@sewin2music I can’t think of anything else off the top of my head… but definitely volunteer at a hospital. And if possible make sure you have a position where you are interacting with patients, and not just doing clerical work.
