I’m already committed because of ED, and I did get into a school that gave some some scholarship money too, but I didn’t like it as much as where I’m going. I’m planning on majoring in either math/physics or engineering, and the school I’m going to is around T30-T40 for both (as well as it’s national ranking overall), and it should be a good investment for grad school + job placement.

I’d also say that I’m considering doing something where I could TA certain classes during my fourth year while taking certain grad-level classes, and finish my master’s in a fifth year at half tuition. That way I could save 75% of what I would be paying for grad school.

Yeah, I would want to find opportunities through school-sponsored internships, but I’m not sure if I would want to take a year off after college to join the workforce if I were to go to grad school. Honestly, I could change my mind if I need a break and want to evaluate my options, but my family tells me the longer I’m in school, the later I have to start working, which is for the better.

I’m thinking of either doing something in math/physics or even maybe engineering (I have some time to decide), so I could see myself looking for a career through research teams. I know a lot of people who just finished with their bachelor’s and ended up doing something in finance/banking, but this might be somewhere where I need an extra year or two of grad school.

This actually helps. I’m planning on either doing some internship or joining a research team, but maybe not for a salary. I’ve already heard that students from my school do get recruited into decent jobs, but my family tells me the importance of getting at least a master’s degree, which I am debating about attempting in 5 years.

I asked him about what he expects to happen for the next year or so, for which he had a decent idea, but for legal reasons he can’t manage the account
