What college should I go to? I am in 11th grade and I am taking all AP classes and making high grades in all..

Question

I am at the top of the class and taking all AP classes. I am willing to go the extra mile and will travel anywhere. Any ideas?

I don't like bloody jobs or dangerous jobs.

Answer 1

The good grades and willingness to work hard are both good things, but you really can't pick universities to apply to until you have an idea what you might want to major in. Depending on your SAT I/SAT II/ACT scores, it sounds like you'd have a decent chance of getting into most schools. You've also got another full year to decide where you even want to apply, let alone where to actually go. I'd recomend looking at the Princeton Review's school ratings and setting up an account on FastWeb (based on a questionaire you fill out when you're setting up the account, they'll tell you about scholarships and university programs you might be interested in).

Good luck!

Answer 2

I'm currently a law student at William and Mary. I went here undergrad as well. My advice is to go to the best school you can where you know you'll be able to do well. If you can go to Harvard and be first in your class, then do it! If you'd just be in the middle, go somewhere where you'll be at the top. I graduated William and Mary in the top 2% of the class and as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. As a result, I got a very large scholarship for law school :) No one cares where you went undergrad; it's grad school that matters. So go where you can do really well. That will highly increase your chances of getting into a good grad school.

P.S. William and Mary is amazing and #1 Small Public University in the country :)

Answer 3

OK, since you have these grades, you need to think of what you want to do. Then you can be properly advised on which college to go to. Harvard for Med, Law, Business. It isn't because it is the best, but Harvard has the most prestige. By the way, a good undergrad would be Princeton or Yale.

im a senior, and i took ap and ib classes my year, and currently, and making good grades and sorts as well. and currently applied for these colleges:

*washington (in st.louis)
*berklee
*ucla
*stanford
*yale
*rice
*john hopkins
*corniel
*harvard(i dont like this school, even though everyone say its a good school and all)
*john hopkins


i recomand you to apply to a least 5 colleges u want. so u can compare the scholarship each gives you and sorts, so u can choose for the best chioce.

and filling the applications out and donig the essays, will be a huge pain.

trust me.

Answer 5

well...r u asking wat college to go to or wat to major in? once you know wat to major in then you can decide wat college. by the way, all jobs are dangerous. If you really think of it you can die at any given point in time.
