Hello all! I am a rising high school junior in Alaska who needs to start making a list of colleges to consider for undergraduate study. Here's some quick info about me:
- Should have 9 AP classes by graduation (including Calc AB, BC, Stats, Physics, and Chem)
- 4.0 unweighted GPA up to this point
- 1410/2090 SAT from freshman year, will retake before applying and hopefully improve
- Interested in an engineering or applied/computational mathematics major. I love problem solving and math in general.
I would prefer a college with the following attributes:
- Very rigorous academics in math/science/engineering
- Opportunities for either coops/interships or undergraduate research
- An on-campus community; not just a commuter school
- I like the idea of a first-year general engineering program, since I doubt if I can say with absolute certainty what specialization I might prefer
- No strong drug culture
- Preferably located in the Four Corners, Northwest, or Canada. But I'm willing to consider other locations.
I already have a list of my own, but I hope you can provide a fresh look to catch what I may have missed. Though I haven't posted much here, I have read many threads on this forum and I am impressed overall.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
