What should I major in?

<p>It sounds like you enjoy applied math more than you enjoy theoretical math. Is this true? If that is the case you may want to look into Finance, Financial Engineering (depending on if a school offers it) or Economics. If you enjoy “theory-based education” more then major in economics. If more “concrete-style learning” fits your fancy then major in Finance. The suggested majors by Noelle would also be suitable.<br>

Without your SAT/ACT scores it would be hard for me to give a fairly accurate guess of places for you to attend. However, some colleges that you may want to look into are
(in no specific order)

  1. University of Michigan
  2. MIT
  3. California Institute of Technology
  4. Carnegie Mellon University<br>
  5. Pennsylvania State University
  6. Purdue
  7. NYU
    Look into the Ivies as well, they tend to provide excellent job placement in finance . This is just a starting point, any add ons to this preliminary list would be welcome.</p>
