<p>IBclass06, I'm applying to UNC-CH, Duke and Columbia. I hope to get into SIPA (Columbia grad school) after a few years overseas after undergrad. Possibly also Princeton, Yale, Georgetown, Chicago, Tufts, etc. I haven't looked into grad school too much. You?</p>

<p>I also plan to apply to Duke and UNC, although they don't offer NES. Chicago and Johns Hopkins (maybe Brown/Columbia as well) are my top choices. I haven't looked into grad schools (Chicago?); choosing undergrad is enough stress right now...:)</p>

<p>If I am accepted at nu (northwestern) i will try to combine all 3 of the following programs:</p>

<p>Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences (BA MMSS + Major in SS - I will choose Econ)</p>

<p>BA/MA in Econ</p>

<p>5 yr BA/BS Industrial Engineering at Weinberg (College of Arts and Sciences)/McCormick(Engineering)</p>

<p>Hopefully in an idealized 5 years i will end up with a BS in Industrial Engineering, BA in MMSS and Economics, and MA in Econ. </p>

<p>Awesome.</p>

<p>UPDATE:</p>

<p>Scratch all that. It would be impossible and I don't wanna spend my life in college at the library. The most I'd go for is MMSS + Econ + possible a third major in Math seeing as how many of the reqs are out of the way.</p>

<p>University of Liverpool has a nice looking Egyptology program, for those interested in studying in the UK. I myself plan to major in Archaeology or Egyptology, but minor in Asian studies, and botany. I was thinking of adding Middle Eastern/Near Eastern studies as a minor, but that may be too much. Though I can't for the life in me find a search engine that includes Egyptology in its major search, and I thought Botany was rare!</p>

<p>I really want to do wig and makeup design, but the programs are really hard to get into, I am not sure if I can get the prior experience needed to get accepted, I live in a hick town, with a school that doesn't do plays, much less makeup classes.</p>

<p>What about that major where you study the simpsons? Wild.</p>

<p>Costume History & Design.</p>

<p>I know, you've never heard of it! :)</p>

<p>Where is the Simpsons major, quitejaded? How interesting...</p>

<p>I was thinking about a major in religion with a specialization in Tibetology</p>

<p>But I'll prolly stick to Biophysics.</p>

<p>Not something I'm going into, but I got a mailing from a school with an urban tree management major. I'm really not sure how much managing trees anywhere need.</p>

<p>Equine Studies, focusing on riding instruction and horse training. More colleges are offering this but there are only 2 (maybe 3) that I am considering. Made my college list pretty simple. :) I might minor in English, and go into Equine Journalism, if it turns out I don't want to (or can't, for some reason) work hands-on with the horses. Always good to have a back-up plan.
And I can't BELIEVE there's a simpsons major...that can't be right!! very interesting...
