<p>I am in 8th grade and looking for suitable colleges. I was wondering if you girls & guys could give me some of your valuable input.</p>
<p>My GPA is pretty good, 3.95 last tri, but all last year I had 4.0, so I know I can keep it up. (We do not have extra credit at our schools, so the highest GPA I can get is 4.0 now and all of high school)</p>
<p>I was looking for some colleges....here in the USA and in Europe. I <em>love</em> business and I'd really love to major in that, or maybe law....or possibly economics, or maybe even politics!</p>
<p>Does anyone know any undergrad colleges within the USA or Europe that are excellent in business, law, economics, or politics?</p>
<p>It's never too early, and I was thinking (if I were to go to a European college) I would go to a European school, and learn a foreign language as quickly as possible.</p>
<p>learning foreign language for college seems a bit...out there. not that it isnt impossibly or anything but its rather ...unnecessary. if europe, then just aim for the english colleges. Cant go wrong with Oxford.</p>
<p>Nice compromise is McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The classes are taught in English, but the city is French-speaking. I think U of Ottawa in Canada is bi-lingual...French and English, in an English-speaking city.</p>
<p>Please, give it a year or two before you begin searching out colleges. Your preferences will most likely change by the time you're ready to head out on your own, not to mention that middle school grades are not strong indicators of how well you will do in high school. Many more people get good grades in middle school (or can get good grades but, unchallenged, slack off) than can maintain them in high school. Just wait a bit before trying to decide on one of the biggest decisions you're likely to make in your early life.</p>
<p>Believe me- your possible major/carreer will change, your college preferences will change, EVERYTHING will change. Four years from now, you won't be the same person- it's amazing how much is different from a 14 year old and an 18 year old. </p>
<p>Just keep your grades up, do stuff that you're interested in (especially freshman year- it's good to start early), but leave college until later. Really.</p>
<p>If you want to go to college in UK/Europe, you'll have to be pretty sure of the course of study you're pursuing. At this point, I don't think anything's set in stone for you yet. Give it 2-3 years.</p>
