    I have a 3.45 GPA and a 1690 on the SAT. So Im kinda a reach for some of my schools but I'm sure ill get into OU so i'm fine and I have killer Extra stuff out side of the classroom, I'm Pres of so many clubs, organizations etc. My top two schools are James Madison and Virginia Tech, I want to have a school with an active Jewish life as well which is important. I love sports and love to party , I also want to have a fun place to life for 4 years.

    Now the thing is I really like Virginia Tech, I am majoring in Finance. I have never been to Tech but from all the videos, write ups, picture and my friends visiting and family going there alot I heard its just an amazing school.

    Now since its kinda a reach for me I am thinking I am going to Apply Early Action which is a binding option so If they accept me I have to go. Is it worth it to apply to Tech ED? Will it help my chances? What do you guys think? Thanks so much.

  • I want to have a career where I can help people and change the world what kind of majors should I look at?

    Not like a doctor or a dentist more along the lines of non profit organizations or helping those who are sick, or working with the 3rd world countries to stop wars or aid those in need. I really want to make a difference but also need to make a living while doing it.
