Well, I don't really know and I know a lot of my friends don't really know. They just are kind of going with what they are most interested at the moment. I heard the average college student switches majors 7 times. Take that with a grain of salt. | ||

UC Davis UCSD UCLA UC Berkeley Washington Arizona Arizona State Rejected: USC Went to Triton Day at UCSD, and I gotta say, the campus is pretty cool. I got into Muir, and ocean view dorms are legit as hell. Plus the weather is nice  Probably going for a computer science major wherever I end up going. | ||

Some people have already found their passion by this point. When I met one of my current flatmates at 16, she already knew she wanted to work in astrophysics. Now she's on track for a PhD. Most people already have an idea what they're goood at and what subject they most enjoy. For some, the field of subjects they like is broad enough for them to pursue a large number of different majors. For others, there might be only one major at a given school they have any interest in. Of course, some who are sure now will change their minds later too. | ||

Because if you don't then stuff starts getting ruled out quickly in college. For stuff like pre-med you will have to start working on connections to get volunteer hours, plan on trying to get a position researching, etc. otherwise you won't be competitive for med school. Hell they even have very competitive programs where you get get guaranteed admission into med school straight out of high school.That's just one example though. As the world gets more and more competitive, people have to start getting an idea and working towards that to be able to attain their goal. | ||

I have no fucking clue what I want to do. don't worry about it. most people don't actually know what they want but think they do (also, TL is not a good place to get an accurate sample of the average student in the first place) and a lot of people change majors within their first year. Some don't even decide until 2nd or 3rd year and while that may not be ideal, it's fine if it leads you to doing what you really want.

I recommend St. Andrews. I was there last summer, and the town was so pleasant. They didn't have my major, so I didn't apply, but it looked like a great school. Also, you can't argue with an 18 year drinking age and playing golf at the home of golf every week. | ||

USC UC Davis (Regents Scholarship) UC Irvine (Regents) UCSD (Regents) UCLA (Regents) UC Berkeley Rejected: Stanford I'm probably going to attend UCLA. It's the best school for which I received a Regents Scholarship, plus I visited it and liked it. Also I met someone who apparently knows people there who play SC2, which is always good... | ||

I have a couple of friends there/ who graduated from there. They all really like/liked it there. Based on the facebook posts/photos, it seems to have a decent social scene for partiers as well as geeks (not sure about gamers, geek friends were science/languages/history geeks). Plus there's the NHS, so no worries about medical coverage. Also a guaranteed accommodation. Are you in the UK or USA? | ||
