How important is your college choice to your overall career track?

I am very overwhelmed with choosing a college and being able to get into a good school, but to factor in costs, I was wondering how much choice of school really impacts the trajectory of where you could end up in the job market. Do companies really care where you went to college, and does that impact how easily you will be able to receive different offers?

Is using my close friends death as an accomplishment I learned to accept and have another reason to reach my life goal too much for my college essay?

Just a thought I had in my head, because I don't have any trauma I went through because I lived a good life and child hood but I know losing my friend was my biggest heart break, if that makes sense?

What College Would Be Best For Me?

I was wondering what college might be best for me. I am a very hard worker and believe that I would be capable of getting into a tough to get into school. I am very interested in going to a school in Chicago and I would really love to go to the University of Chicago. The only problem is that I don't know if the classes that are in the area of Law enforcement and Phycology are the best that I can receive. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations or ideas on what college might cover areas that have to deal with law and criminal justice the best. My ideal school as I said before would be somewhere in Chicago with a good cross country or track team, and have a low-ish acceptance rate.

What are my chances on getting into NYU Tandon/Engineering and Duke University?

I currently have a 3.8 weighted GPA. I have at the least 100 community service hours but maybe closer to 200. I would plan on majoring in mechanical engineering so I have many STEM extracurriculars. I have leadership positions and I'm active in my community. I'm a junior so I don't have to write my essay just yet but I think the idea I have for it is pretty good. By my senior year I will have 10-12 APs and 5-7 honors. I'll have 4 years plus AP Spanish credit and 2 years of Chinese. I have research hours and awards in competitions. Not sure if this matters but I plan on double minoring in Japanese and game design/development. I'm also not sure if NYU and Duke requires a portfolio if so it might be a little late but I could work on some thing summer.

Why are college acceptance rates so low?

Acceptance rates to “elite” colleges and universities are extremely low and continue to drop each year. So I am wondering if these colleges and universities are very hard to get into because they admission standards have changed and continue to change of if there are just more applicants each year but they admit same amount (or close to it) of students each year. Will the acceptance rates eventually get so low that these “elite” colleges have to increase the amount of students they admit each year? #collegeadmissions #ivyleague #SAT #GPA #acceptancerates
