okay, yeah, pardon me for being so asian and mindy-like but... which colleges are all of you aspiring to attend and more importantly, why do you want to attend those specific colleges? just trying to figure out what exactly motivates teens toward their proclaimed "dream schools."

edit: seems like a lot of people in our generation are planning to pursue careers in law.. what attracted you guys to the profession? in fact, whatever field you might want to enter, what attracted you to that field?

I have a good idea of where I want to go (I'm only a sophomore in HS). Cedar Crest College and Virginia Commonwealth University because both have really good forensic science programs.

the colleges i want to go to are u.c. berkeley, william & mary, reed, and whitman. why i want to go there is they're all great schools, and after high school i want to have the oppurtunity to get a good education and good job.

ya me too...well more specifically the campus in Manoa..or i want to go to a school on the west coast or japan...if i go to the campus in Manoa i can be close to my family..Well for the west coast it would be a good chance to get away from my parents..lol..but i would still be around asian ppl..(it would be kinda strange for me to be in a place where theres no asian..)and for japan it would help me improve in japanese...

Well, I really want to go to Columbia University, since it's nearby and it's a good school. Also, if I got accepted, my parents won't have to pay the full tuition because they work there. But I have to work really hard this term to bring my averge up...

currently, i want to go to the university of georgia, becuase its one of the best schools that i can get the HOPE scholarship for. if i cant get in (because thanks to the HOPE scholarship, its become a much more competitive school) id prefer to go out of state, although i dont know what i want to major in, so i havent thought about this enough to know where

I'd go to any school far far away from this piece of poop of a town. Better criteria, good designing majors.

UCSD.. I heard it had the first pharmaceudal (sp?) college in Calfornia a few years back. My dream career is to be a pharmacist, although I don't know for sure if I'll be attending UCSD.

I really want to go to school in New York City.. That would be awesome. :] I don't even know what college to apply for, over there. I'm still undecided where I truly want to go.

for those of you who mentioned the ivies-- why, people, why? what makes you want to go? the pressure? the prestige? the rigor? the programs? and what's your academic "hook?" i can't seem to find one..
