And by that I don't mean just close friends, I mean the type of friends who tell each other everything, best friends. Is it possible?

I'm fairly clueless as to where I want to go to school next year. Where do you think I should go?

Okay, so I'm signed up for the ACT on Saturday (tomorrow), and I'm still debating whether to take it. I already took it and got a kick-a$$ score, and there is about 0.01% of a chance that I'll do better. BUT I have already paid the $30 for the one tomorrow, and I can't decide if I should go ahead and do it or not. (I got my results only after I'd signed up for the second test.)

SO...

yes/no

Should I spend my Saturday morning sleeping or testing???

I am a junior in high school (almost a senior) and I really need to get serious about college hunting. I am ranked third in my class and have a GPA of 5.1/5.0, have taken or will take the hardest classes my school offers, and participate in many extracurriculars, mostly academic ones (no sports). I haven't got my ACT scores back yet, but I've scored about 31 on the practice tests I took. I'm not sure on my major, but I'm considering majors in possibly bio/chemistry, business/marketing, and also pre-med (which I know can be designated with almost any major).

I have been considering colleges like U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Washington U, Saint Louis U, U of Chicago, and Northwestern U. I don't want to go too far from the Illinois area and I've been leaning toward U of I or Wash U.

Has anyone been to any of these schools or know how the atmospheres are? I've visited U of I and I will probably visit any other college before I apply, but I would appreciate any input or opinion.

I was just wondering - that was a big annoyance a few months ago.

I DID!!!

I just finished Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, and I absolutely loved it.

I am a junior in high school and am currently on the college hunt. I would like to go to a college with a strong reputation in engineering that also offers a great student life. Most likely I am not going to leave the midwest, but I am open to any college suggestions around the country.
