<p>I've only visited Upenn, Columbia, Tufts, BC, Princeton, and Brown of which I would only go to Upenn, Columbia, and Tufts.</p>
<p>Due to my New England location, I have trouble going down South to visit schools. Here's where I have no clue:</p>
<p>1) I don't really know what I want in a school other than a decent size: 4,000-10,000, I want it to be selective, and prefer urban (or very close to city) campus
b) I haven't been able to really visit many schools besides those 6 with my parents (they work a lot and are very busy)
c) Although my parents say financials don't matter, I have no idea if they do or not
d) If I don't get into Upenn ED, I am basically applying to Columbia and Tufts...... uhhh crapshoot
e) I have no clue how to find schools that I like because of the time I need to make to visit them with my parents working so much</p>
<p>I don't know what I want to major in. I excell in all subjects I've been exposed to so far in my school career. I personally like history, politics, and reading the news. This however is more of a hobby, not fit for a job. I do great in math, although I get bored with it when not challenged. I'd say I'm pretty polar from what you would consider nerdy. My extracurricular interests include: running, doing computer art, going out with my friends all the time, going to dance clubs, chatting online, and listening to loud rap.</p>
<p>I picked business at Upenn so far (it can change) because I just figured it has math, personal skills, and communication all in one, which are great things to learn. Problem is I have 0 backup and I don't really know what I want to do.</p>
<p>I would think long and hard about what you want to do, as business (especially at top schools) is not something you want to do if you're not determined to do it or willing to become determined to do it. It's just too much work, and you'll burn out quickly.</p>
<p>(1)It's ok not to know exactly what you want--a lot of the things people tell you are important may not be important to you. You'll need some criteria to narrow things down, though...for instance, which city do you like better (New York, Philly, Boston)?</p>
<p>(b)It's ok if you didn't visit every college...I didn't really visit any until after I was accepted. It happens. Just try to visit them before you make your final decision.</p>
<p>(c)Can't comment on your finances...but if you choose the right major, they shouldn't matter too much, even if you're strapped financially.</p>
<p>(d)You'll need more schools, especially if you're applying for a program as specific as business. If you're looking for urban schools, I'd apply to BU (excellent and unique business program that is VERY underrated) and George Washington for a start.</p>
<p>(e)You don't necessarily need to visit to narrow down the list...talk to people at some of the schools you're considering, or do some research. The more you learn about some of these programs, the better you'll be at developing the criteria you need to narrow down the list. If you're doing business, look into things like on-campus recruiting (who's regularly hiring students at the school), program structure (for business, MAKE SURE that the program does a good job preparing you for team work...if the school does not have a structured, team centered program, I wouldn't recommend it) and location (easier to find a job in New York than a rural area).</p>
