Revival because it's that time of year! This is a thread where you can post either where you are going to go to college or where you want to go to college.

I feel sort of unqualified to post because I'm in 8th grade and know very little about the schools I'm going to mention, but I'll do it anyways!
My dream college [based on very little research] is Stanford University. UPenn also seems cool (although it's a little too close to home...), and I'd also get a 75% discount on tuition since my dad works there, so that would be nice.
At this point in my life I think I'd want to study either biology or bioengineering, but my interests may change throughout high school.

I feel sorry for anyone who views this thread.
Don't feel sorry, user-who-posted-this-when-I-was-three.

Huh, I am quoting a post from over a decade ago.

Huh(part two), this account is older than I am.

It's fine. I'm in 8th grade and I'm going to mention where I want to go anyways.
Ideally, I would want to go to MIT, but since that's unlikely, I'm probably going to go to the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. I want to major in physics, though geology is a possibility that I'm willing to consider.

At the moment, I am hoping to go to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology to study Geological Engineering with a minor in Geophysics.

Edit: Grow the SD Scioly Program? lol.

Ah yes, the one state with fewer high school teams last year than Idaho...

I have no regrets.

Fyren, I was in this same boat lmao except it was Geology or Civil Engineering. If you want advice/whatever in the future (or just wanna talk geology xD) lemme know.
