<p>Thanks everybody, I really appreciate all of your advice. </p>
<p>Mom2collegekids, it will be hard choosing 2-3 of each, but I’ll narrow that down and post again soon! In the future, I see myself as a professor of chemistry. Either that, or an economist working for the Fed. I’m hoping to figure out which one (chem or econ) I like best while in college. However, I’m declaring chemistry as my major. </p>
<p>Momrath, neither Michigan nor Minnesota are my home states, Illinois is. I wouldn’t mind attending UIUC, and am definitely applying there. I wish I had the resources to visit some of the LACs I’ve listed. I want to eliminate some of them based upon the social atmosphere (overly competitive) and the quality of the science/economic programs. </p>
<p>ucbalumnus, great thread, thank you!</p>
