How does applying to colleges with an undecided major versus a decided major differ in the ways they will affect your future?
As a senior in high school, I am in the midst of preparing for the next stop on the long and winding journey we call life. Every turn I take and every decision I make leads me down a different path and I'll admit it, it intimidates me. Even after a ton of research and experimenting, it is hard to settle on one thing that I will be devoting a lot of time and attention to in the next couple of years (and for most of my life). Whenever I discover a profession that somewhat appeals to me, it's like the universe doesn't want my heart to settle on it. Either the field of study is extremely scarce among the colleges I am interested in, it doesn't fit into the lifestyle I am looking for, or I would have to complete additional graduate studies. I always thought that applying to colleges with a decided major will foster a higher acceptance rate to that college, but I don't want to make the wrong move. Having a definite major would allow me to complete the program's prerequisites quickly, but if I go undecided, I feel like I am wasting my time taking classes that wouldn't really benefit me. What are the benefits of each type of admission? What are the drawbacks? #undecided #decided #college #college-admissions #college-selection #college-major #life

Whether I should go to a better college to be able to teach at a university?
I've been told that I might have better luck getting a teaching position at a school like Virginia Tech (where I live) if I go to a school like Harvard. However, I want to teach English/History which is not Virginia Tech's focus at all, it being an engineering and agriculture school. Do I still need to go to a prestigious/"better" school to get a good job teaching? #teaching #professor #college-selection

Does commuting strip a person of their college experience?
My sister who is a dormer has always lamented to me how important it is to dorm and move away from home. She emphasized on the key phrase "college experience." Instead of listening to her, I am opting to commute because of the internships available for my major in the city. I am wondering if commuting will undermine my college experience as well as development of skills like independence. #college #college-admissions #college-bound #college-selection #college-advice
What do college admission officers expect to see from an essay?
In my 3rd year English class, my teacher has been focusing on college essays for quite a while. My teacher however, doesn't focus specifically on the format or layout.

What can be interpreted as unique? #college #college-admissions #college-bound #college-selection
Does where you go to college really matter? Is money an actual valid reason for giving up your top choice school?
I have the chance to go to a decent school with a good program for free plus room and board grants, and they are also guaranteeing me a spot in their graduate school. However, I feel that the school is not for me. I feel uncomfortable and claustrophobic there, and I don't feel any connection to the school or as if I belong. My other option is to go to my top choice school. I am absolutely in love with the place, their program, everything. It feels like home. However, I am not guaranteed a spot in their highly competitive grad school, and I would have to pay out of state tuition. #college #college-admissions #college-bound #college-selection #college-recruiting

Should I go to a more expensive, prestigious school for the experience and opportunities, or take a more affordable route so that I will have less financial burden in the future?
I got accepted to UCLA, however, I am wondering if it is worthwhile to attend UCLA if it means that I will create more debt for myself in the future. I want the diversity, club organizations, experience, and research opportunities that it offers (I am an Undeclared- Life Sciences major at the moment), although I am not sure what I want to do for a career or exactly what major I want. I have many varying interests in completely different areas (such as acrobatics, dance, biology, theater), and I am hoping that by attending such a diverse university that I will be able to explore these interests and define what is best for me. But then again, the debt (*sigh*). I also realize that it will be more cutthroat at such a university, and therefore I will have to dedicate more time towards studying and possibly might not be able to fit all the things I want to do into my schedule. If I go to a more affordable school, I may not have the same opportunities as at UCLA or be around as driven students as myself. Also, IT'S UCLA!!
