College worries.

[navyseal2101]

Ok, I have my fture planned out, and I have no reason to go to college. However, i'm paid for and have a few options to look at, no idea of a major. Annapolis being the college i wanted to go to, I have the sports, I may be able to work my way around a 3.5, and I have a recommendadtion from a congressmen, so i'm set there. Thing is im really going fo the social experience, so I thought mabye a state college would be better for that. Also I ont have a major, and I think I need one to go to college right? Anything you guys would recommend, my one cousin is doing alternate fuels, I have no idea. This whole thing is bugging me b/c my school makes me feel like I have to know now and since I dont I wont go anywhere, so its kinda making me edgy.

Annapolis? You mean the Naval Academy? You're right, it does rank close to the bottom in social life (in US news rankings). But Johns Hopkins in Baltimore ranks lower, so look out.

A friend of mine went there for 4 years and never met a single guy who was dating a girl there. I'm not even kidding. It's just a weird place. Everyone is like, "GAAAHH, HOW DO I GET TO MEDICAL SCHOOL WITH A PUNY 3.96 GPA!"

Also I dont have a major, and I think I need one to go to college right?

Not really. Just decide if you like doing math or writing papers, because you'll be doing one of the two.

What other things do you have on your application to make you stand out? What was your SAT score? Realistically, unless you have a pretty outstanding extracurricular record, you are going to have a difficult time gaining admission to any of the military academies with anything lower than a 3.75 high school GPA.

Yea, my friend got in with a 4.2 GPA and 4 years varsity football etc. I think though Annapolis Naval Academy, like Phyzzle said, would be a boring school, and I want to score some poon, so Annapolis may not be the best choice for me.
