This thread is devoted to those of us who are currently pursuing higher learning -- or just wasting time at a massive university attempting somehow to find the meaning of life, whatever it may be.

What ya studying?

I currently go to Clayton College and State University. My major is Biology.

I will be transfering to a school in New York City next year (or late this year)

You?

Currently at college, take Biology, chemistry and maths also. Just had my first major Biology exam this morningn as a matter of fact.

I teach computer science at the collegiate level, and I am studying to get my masters in computer science with a concentration in computer forensics.

Wow. Sounds interesting. I plan to go into pre-med or genetics. Or epidemiology. Or...well I'm not sure.

What school?

St.Ivo, college here is different to University. 2 years of college then you can go to uni :wink:

Ok. Well, I'm planning to transfer to either the University of New York or the City College of New York sometime hopefully this fall.

I'm studying Political Science at Washington State University.

That would be a fun major to pursue. So far I like Biology though.

I'm at the University of TOronto with a major in Criminology minor in History and Sociology and maybe English.

Are you still thinking of going into law Rogue?

My brother studied that. Now he pretends to be so much smarter than anyone around him, heh.

i'm working on a bachelor''s degree in psychology

I am a Social work major with a minor In psychology at University Of Kenucky

Probably not. I assume you are though?

Your brother sounds just like me.

Hehe. However, he IS actually pretty smart :razz:

Anyway...isn't it somewhat boring?

I majored in Sociology for awhile, tillmost of my professors killed any interest I had in the field.

How can people run statistical analysis when the majored in sociology to avoid math.

So what's a lad gotta to to get an A in your class? :wink:

Some aspects are. I don't particularly like studying the bueracracy. I'm more interested in political philosophy and political history.

So, here's the deal: I'm entering the second semester of my Sophomore year in high school. The quidance office is already calling down students to discuss their classes for next year, and I'm really starting to think about college. All last year, I just kept thinking "Hm....that sound sinteresting, but I don't know."

All of the things I like to do are either things that I don't want to do forever, or things that I would like to do, but I just don't have the will and motivation to do it (writing and any/all theater/directing work would go here). So I think of more practical things, and one field that interests me is psychology. But in case that just doesn't hold my interest once I graduate (everyone changes their major), so I'm thinking of some back-up things, and other things at which I am good. Math. I'm thinking that there's always jobs for...acountants, or....something. But then I think I could start a business, with accounting or tax or whatever.

I donno. I just needed a little rant. I thought this would help get thoughts in order, and it really didn't. ::shrugs::

You sound just like me. I've changed my major (in college) four times, and am back where I started -- Biology/Pre-Med!

Okay, this probably has no relevance to this thread, but I might as well take a shot at it...

I want to see a personal perspective from actual college students, who actually applied to a college, rather then reading something from the net.

Im a Sophomore, so I have a LONGGGGGGGGGGG way to go, and plus, I havent taken SAT's yet, but I took PSATS, and I got an average score....

Currently, my GPA is 3.67.

Im involved in ASB, JROTC, Marching Band, President of the Executive Club, and part of the Honors Society....

My dream school is Berkeley.....

What are my chances of getting in if I maintain this?

PLEASE DONT CALL ME STUPID! ](*,)

Accounting is a major in the business college, and actually doesn't involve that much math.

People tend to think of math as arthimetic and the algebra they learned in junior high.

People always assuem since i have my BSin math that I cna like add huge numbers in my head in an instant, as if that is what you do. And when I took algebra in college they would ask "Is thatlike what I took in grade 7/8/9/10?" Yeah, I went through 2 years of colelge math to take algebra like I did in 7th grade.

Anyway, I am ranting, my point is as an accoutning major you will take alot of business classes, so keep that in mind, its more about being very caerfula nd detailed about things. They are notusing formulas in more complex then you learn in calc I.

People really have no idea what people who study math do, but its far more vast then you think. Once you get past the calc sequence in college then you start to get an idea of what math is really about.
