Hello there guys, Daelin needs your help. Right now I am in the 11th grade, so I still have two more years of highschool. However, I believe considering and prospecting colleges (universities, whatever) is to be done from time. I don't want to realize that I only have 3 months left and that I still haven't applied anywhere.
What I'm aiming for is Computer Science/Computer Programming/Computer programming, specific applications (btw, what's the difference between these three? :? ). I know that I have to get TOEFL (I'm taking CAE too which I heard is harder so TOEFL should not be a big problem) and the SATs (this is going to be tougher). Question is, what subjects should I pick for SATII? To make things difficult (because elsewhere, it wouldn't have really mattered that much) I'm aiming for full financial aid (unfortunately, my parents can't afford and will definitely not let me leave the country elsewhere). And I'm guessing that certain subjects would look better than others. Maybe you can help me with this and give me other tips. I don't know... other activities, I still have time to get involved into stuff and study. Thanks!
Oh, and maybe you know some universities too (I'm not really aiming for MIT though ), since in this book there are a lot of them, and even though I already found some nice universities (Allegheny, Arcadia, La Salle, RIT, Pittsburgh), I do not know if I would have any chances to be admitted.
