Which state do you live in? Going to school in state will save you or your parents a bunch of money. I mean, just by living in Michigan I will only pay around 18 grand a year compared to the 36 grand id pay out of state.

How long? Could I move there right before I start up school there?

I think a year. If you want to declare for instate tuition, you have to file a lot of paperwork.

I'm surprised there have been no snide comments on his choice of major.

Anyway, just get good grades (top 10% is a must for those selective universities). Any service clubs you can get in looks good too. DA is right about the advanced degree, but have you thought about pursuing a Bachelors at a state university? I can't remember what state you're from, but that is always a good choice to save money and you still get a good education. Then get a fellowship or whatever the term is for your advanced degree at one of the more prestigious Unis.

Also, don't get so set on one major so early. A friend of mine did that (Poli 'Sci' major) and he just couldn't take how far left the department at KSU was. Now he's a seaman

(err... he's in the Navy). That being said, you might change your mind on a lot of things between now and then. Really, it would be a good idea.

I like AP tests. Good starting point. But also remember that just jumping into a sophmore curriculum might not be such a good idea either.

P.S. Yeah! 800th post! And here I thought it was going to be in the babe thread.
