College
Well, I'm going to be a senior next year in high school, mind pointing me what should I consider and figure out before applying to colleges next year? What helped you decide where you wanted to go? How did you go about applying to colleges?

Re: College
probably helps to have a general idea of what you'd like to do when you grow up. You'll get to college and probably change your mind a couple of times. Pick a place a minimum of 5 hours away from home.
Oh and don't choose Georgia Tech. This place suks dog dic.

[/ QUOTE ] Your grades,test scores and extracirriculars(obviously). Have a good long sit and speak with your guidance counselor-they're pretty big helps when it comes to this kind of thing [ QUOTE ] What helped you decide where you wanted to go? [/ QUOTE ] Dartboard. [ QUOTE ] How did you go about applying to colleges? [/ QUOTE ] Once again, your guidance counselor probably has all this info, though this would primarily be for school in your geographic reason. You could also go to the website of whatever school you're interested in and find an app there.

Re: College
Keep this in mind: I go to Amherst College (1600 students) and I applied to a lot of similar small schools. I thought I wanted a small school with not a lot of students. I was completely wrong. I feel like I should've gone to one of the big Ivy league schools now, because in a school this small, you just get to KNOW everybody and eventually the social scene loses it's appeal. If you go to a big school, you can choose to avoid people and hunt out new people you've never met before.

The school I go to is 2500 students and while it is an excellent choice academically, the social scene is horrible. This is magnified by the fact that it is an engineering/science school and has a 70/30 male/female ratio. It is only 2 hours from home which is far enough that I do not feel like I should visit and they do not visit me which is good. If I were to do it over again I would look at a larger state school that still had a good program for what I want to do. And I would not focus on the cost as much, money is really pretty insignificant. If it costs 10K a year or 20K a year you are still going to be poor as hell and paying for it for a long time when you get out. The last thing to consider is geographical area, I finally figured out when I was 19 or so that winter sucks and I would rather be somewhere where winter meant it got down to 50 instead of 0.
