<p>Our state is worse. A week to the boards and so tensed about admissions. Damn.</p>
<p>^Yea, that sucks. I’ll stop complaining now. :P</p>
<p>Haha half way through sophomore year? I think I might declare my major sometime during freshman year so as to make the most out of the opportunities in that direction. I don’t want to be a ‘floater’ if you know what I mean :)</p>
<p>Of course! That’s when most people are required to declare their majors 
Gahhh, why am I so utterly confused? Well, it’s great that you’ve decided already. Now you must spread some of the magic dust so that I can also steady my mind :P</p>
<p>And what’s a floater? o.O</p>
<p>Its alright to be confused. Its better to be confused than to be dead certain and grossly misinformed at that.</p>
<p>^^Agreed!
@Bist- Seriously!! I have to push myself to study inch by inch and minute by minute 
Boredom at it’s worst 
How’s your prep going?</p>
<p>@Everyone in general- I haven’t decided on my major either. Probably Comparative Lit/Psychology/English…or something entirely different 
Coming from a Science background, I can only decide which ‘Arts’ subject I love best after sampling all the courses, lol.</p>
<p>^Glad to see I’m not alone! :)</p>
<p>^^
Are you a liberal arts applicant too? Or are you going for the core sciences?</p>
<p>
*I know that feeling :eek: *</p>
<p>I applied to two SEAS’, one research school and 3 specific courses, so if I choose to attend school there, I’ll have no choice but to pursue the sciences. Though i must say, the idea of liberal arts fascinates me.</p>
<p>Also, when I read about Financial Engineering at Columbia, I was awestruck, though that could be because of my lack of familiarity with the subject. Anyone else find Financial Engineering interesting? :)</p>
<p>^^ 
It fascinates me too! it’s like learning a big chunk of everything and then digging deeper into one of those things <em>exciting</em>
Okay, I had never heard of that until now. Have to admit it sounds pretty interesting, although I have no clue (beyond the obvious) what it’s all about eithet ;)</p>
<p>@IRBCobalt - Well, my situation’s the same. I haven’t done anything significant. Will have to resort to late night studying before the exams as I always do, it seems :D</p>
<p>@Tizil - Yeah, financial engineering tempts me too. Firstly, because I have know idea what it is about and secondly, I have heard it gets you lot of $$$. :D</p>
<p>Same here! A week from boards and pi day bang in the middle</p>
<p>hi guys… anyone here got into Union College (NY) ?</p>
<p>@IRBCobalt: Yes, I am. Liberal arts is great, especially for confused people like me I applied to one liberal arts school and one science-oriented school in case I change my mind any time soon.
@Tizil7: Cool. Never knew such a subject existed! Sounds interesting, though like Cobalt, I don’t know much about it.
@Arsalh: Nope, didn’t apply!</p>
<p>Any of you interested in Chemical and Physical Biology (CPB)? How about International Relations? And what language do you want to study in college? And extracurriculars?</p>
<p>…oops. asked a lot of questions, haha :P</p>
<p>^lets see…
Nope, not too interested in chemical and physical biology…what is it though…physics chem and bio all rolled into one?? I think Id rather know stuff about it than study it, kind of like how I love reading about astronomy and quantum physics but Id rather not study them in college…</p>
<p>International relations? Yes, thinking about it as a joint study with economics…</p>
<p>Id like to learn Spanish at college…and maybe, just maybe, Mandarin :)</p>
<p>As for ECs, ive heard a lot about these programs where college students volunteer to teach kids in elementary schools around the area…id like something like that, and maybe a theatre/film/writing society or trying a new sport</p>
<p>^^Okay, gonna reply to all the questions later, but I had to respond to Shrey’s post- I love reading about astronomy and quantum physics too! It gets more interesting if it’s out of school stuff xD I actually got a copy of The Elegant Universe to get over my physics phobia in 10th, and it took off from there Love that book!
Okay, this was a bit random :)</p>
<p>Haha, you should read A Brief History of Time too, if you havent already!</p>
<p>ooh and speaking of the universe, check this out: [The</a> Scale of the Universe 2](<a href=“http://www.htwins.net/scale2/]The”>The Scale of the Universe 2)
pretty cool, huh?</p>
<p>Count me in in the astronomy and quantum physics lovers’ society :D</p>
<p>Has anyone watched “What the bleep do we know down the rabbit hole?”?</p>
<p>:eek: It has much more stuff than the original Sacle of the Universe 1. Anyways, it’s amazing :D</p>
<p>Haha no Bist, but it sounds like a funny thing to watch :p</p>
<p>a 17er but still, I too love space time and therory of relativity in physics.
A brief history of time is a great book!! must read.</p>
<p>on a side note, anyone taking aeronautical engineering as a major??</p>
