<p>Hey everyone I am currently a junior (soon to be a senior) from New York and I just started looking into Alabama. I’ll be honest, the amazing scholarships are what hooked me, but the more I look into the college, the more I am impressed. Here are just a few things about myself:</p>
<p>ACT: 33
GPA: 97/100
Class Rank: 8/250</p>
<p>I am fairly involved in ECs and have taken a pretty rigorous schedule.</p>
<p>Also, I am interested in biochemistry or some biochemical engineering and I am also very interested in Spanish studies (strange combination, I know). I also may go onto grad school for pharmacy or dentistry (I know they don’t offer this at Alabama but they do have certificate programs). As you can tell, I am unsure of what I really want to do.</p>
<p>So the few questions I had:
- How is the honors experience as a whole? Are the academics challenging and are the dorms really as nice as everybody makes them seem?
- I am a bit confused on the differences of each honors program. The international honors program seems like a fit, but the computer-based honors and university fellows also seem very neat. If anybody could help me out with this it would be wonderful.
- Are the study abroad opportunities generous and how would a university scholarship work with them if I were to study over the summer?
- Lastly…Anything else I should know about Alabama or the topics of study I’m interested in?</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration!</p>
