<p>here's the thing.<br>
I haven't really decided what I want to do yet, but I do know that it is in the math/sciences. </p>
<p>Nwern: I would major in statistics and I got into MMSS
WUSTL: I would obviously go into pre-med
Berkeley: I got into the College of Chemistry, which is known for being extremely cut throat xx
and i would have to pay OOS tution</p>
<p>I don't want to pigeon hole myself, but I also don't want to regret my decision
please help? :) Thanks</p>
<p>You lost me: why would you major in statistics at NU but do a pre-med curriculum at WUSTL? Am I misunderstanding you, or are you suggesting you’d have different majors at the three schools?
If you like chem, why not just major in chem - doing the pre-med requirements - wherever you go?
And as for statistics, why in the world would you major in that at NU? There are so many great things to concentrate in, why pick such a boring major?</p>
<p>i know it’s confusing, but yeah, i would do a different major in all three schools
i’m really interested in math & the sciences, but as for what specifically, i’m not sure, which is why every school is so different for me
and i actually like statistics :P</p>
<p>Stats and MMSS at Northwestern are exceptional programs and Chemistry at Northwestern is possibly the best department in WCAS - one of the very best nationally. In terms of academics, the answer seems obvious. But college, of course, is not all about academics.</p>
<p>Bala–As a Bear Backer(Cal) and a DD @ NU…I can only speak to those two schools. Their social environs are VERY different. Cal is a LARGE public university, NU is medium sized private. Niece graduated with 2 degrees in Chem at Cal-you are correct in your assessment that Cal is cut-throat. The great thing is that if you climb to the top-you are on Top!. NU seems to be not as cut-throat. It doesn’t mean you won’t have academic challenges, it is just more collaborative in nature. My two cents-APOL</p>
