What colleges do you guys go to or want to go to? Also, What are you all wanting to major in?

I am a senior and I am just wondering what everyone else is doing. :)

I go to the University of Washington, and although my major is undecided at the moment, I want to make an impact on people's lives in the most positive and sincerest way possible.

I'm a junior.

First (reasonable) choice: University of Virginia

Everyone seems pretty content with my choice, some of our friends want me to get in so I can get them football tickets and they can tailgate. :P

Do you have any idea on what you're going to major in?

I go to Georgia Tech, majoring in EE.

I guess I should've stated what I wanted!

Same EXACT thing as maddox except I want to go to Georgia Tech.

Madison Area Technical College

University of Colorado @ Boulder, Computer Science.

I came out here because it's a beautiful place; awesome hiking, snowboarding, you name it.  And the engineering school here is pretty good too.  Now that I've been here 3 years, there are some other reasons I love it:
1 - Research.  There are tons of opportunities to get involved in research teams, even at an undergraduate level.
2 - Professors.  I've had my share of bad professors, but by far they were all in large intro-level humanties classes.  All my CS professors have been incredibly interested in the students and dedicated to them.  For example, in one of my classes this year which I would say is around 60 students, our professor knows every student's name and the first time he met you.  The first day of class he came up to me and said hi and that he remembered me from another one of his classes.
3 - Hot girls, hot nightlife.  Needs no explanation.

Colleges are lame.

The college search made my parents file for divorce. I'm taking my 2240 SATs to UMass or Salem State.

2240 SATs?

No one going for a reach college?
Surprised I haven't heard anyone say MIT, Berkely, Stanford, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, or those other top engineering schools...

2240 is really high.

I am lookin at RIT @ http://www.rit.edu/

Have a major in mind, or are you undecided like I am?

2240 SATs = what on old school SATs?

I'm attending New Mexico State University (cause it costs me like books, that's it) & majoring in, uh, MAYBE criminal justice, getting a degree in business might be smarter though.

I plan to either go to University of New Mexico or University of Texas at Austin to attend law school.  (UT might be a little out of my reach though, financially & acceptance, but who knows.

I think you'd have to ask that question on collegeboard.com, because the equivalencies are much different with the new essay section to the SATs and all.

Graduate school will be Ivy, I hope. My cousin went to Cornell but dropped out. I'd like to go there, Harvard, or maybe Yale for law school.

Well, if I get a scholarship to MIT (shutup lord) I'm definatly taking it..

I know a guy (well, met, a few times, we weren't friends or anything) who got into MIT.

He chose Brown, though.

UCLA business major.

I want to go to UT Austin.

WHy don't any of you useless bastards go into the Military? Airforce perhaps.

I'm a freshman Computer Science major at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, NE. The campus is pretty, and the comp sci department is focusing quite a bit of effort, attention and dollars on gaining national recognition and prestige. :)

[/quote]I've thought about possibly attending the air force academy & studying law with them, I hear you get experience WAY quick.  But, in general, I'm too lazy to look in to it so, I' just hoping I even look into UT

[/quote]Didn't you just say you were a junior in highschool? And you're already considering graduate school? I think you will be very suprised how things will change in the next few years.

He wants to be a lawyer, that's the only schooling for lawyers, grad school.

I've wanted to be an attorney since about 3rd grade.

In second grade, my dream college was Yale.

Looking at the University of Oklahoma majoring in Meteorology. I've considered going military however at this time my plan is to goto OU and perhaps take AROTC or AFROTC. If I can get a scholarship through them then I will definitely take it and go into the military as an officer. However, I don't feel like spending 8 years to earn a college degree so going active duty right away is pretty much out. Of course if I sign up for the Army before Dec. 26th they'll give me an extra $5k on top of all the other bonuses possible so I might just take them up on it.

I'm going to Arizona State University.  Majoring in: Political Science and Psychology.

Both the poli sci and psych departments are among the best in the country.  Poli Sci is a little weak on International Relations; they're good on American Gov't and Political Methodologies.  Psych is *very* strong in both cognitive and social psychology, and fairly strong in industrial.  We also have a new Biodesign Institute that went in, which would be interesting to anyone hoping to do pharmeceuticals work later on.

The engineering college is pretty good I hear, but the computer science department within it is pretty weak.

We have a very good business school.

The law school is average.

The school of journalism is sponsored by Walter Cronkite, and I don't have anything to judge it against, but from what I've heard, we're pretty good.

The music school is one of the best in the country.  A few years ago, the trumpet studio there was ranked 3rd overall against both public and private schools.  I also had a chance to take a breathing lesson from the tuba instructor, Sam Pilafian.  Before you joke, this guy was paid $100,000 for a one-night gig for the LA Philharmonic when their principal tuba player got sick.  He is one of the best there is, and their jazz program is pretty strong.

Can't beat the in-state tuition either, Networks. :P

For grad school, I'm thinking about going into the law program at American University's George Washington College of Law in DC.  They have a program to get a JD (Juris Doctor) along with an MA in International Affairs.  I thought that was pretty badass.

Haha, Yeah, if I went to ASU, UofA, or NAU I'd be going for free on the AIMS scholarship :P (Board and room not included of course). My prospects are going out of state and away from my parents. Georgia Tech is ranked 4 - 6ish in Engineering, right below MIT, Stanford, etc. It's a good school and hell I get to meet maddox and a bunch of other geeks. w00t.

However if I don't make it to the my top choices I may just go to ASU and live in the dorms even though it'd be more expensive for my parents since my house is only 15 - 30 minutes away from ASU. I COULD go for engineering there, it's a pretty competetive program they have there, it's just not ranked amongst the best.

Too bad there are like 0.0001% of professional musicians that can make that kind of money.

Can you imagine making that much in one night? I wonder what he's doing with it right now...

Cooper Union has something like that.  Full tuition scholarship if you get in.  And it's a top engineering school (ranked just below MIT/Stanford)...

The only catch is getting in  ;)  One of the most selective colleges in the country.
