    My Minor in Intelligent Robotic Systems deals with Artificial Intelligence, and my Design Project.

    So basically a week of classes for me goes like this.

    Go to upper-level math class, learn something.

    Go to Physics class and apply what I learned in the previous semesters math course.

    Go to Engineering class and either apply the math and physics to my field or learn field specific stuff. (like Boolean Algebra)

    I plan on starting off working for companies in the Electrical engineering field, then later on starting my own company in the robotics field.
    Yea engineering probably isnt for me bud, haha. Math is my worst subject. My philosophy is, and im not saying this is necesarily good or ethical, that if i need to figure out a math problem that i cant figure out on my own then i ask one of my smart friends like you to help me get it haha. Its worked well for me so far. I loved the CAD classes i took in highschool though. DataCad and AutoCad i think they were called. Making houses in another program too but dont remember the name of it. Im a VERY visual and hands on type learner. Geometry came easy to me because of all the shapes and crap but algebra, not so much.

    I plan on going into zoology in the long run, but, I'll be doing biology as an undergrad, then work my way up to a Ph.D. I plan on staying in the Midwest if possible (or any state touching/bordering Illinois), but, if necessary I will go out further. As for my scores, I got a 24 on the ACT, not proud, but I retook it and got the same three times, although if you put all my highest sub scores together, it's a 25. I'm in the top 17% of my class, and I don't plan on taking loans.

    I was projected to have a 33 ACT, but, high school has not been kind. I was the top student in Elementary as well as Jr. High, but, as soon as I got into high school, life really kicked me. Hard.
    No i was referring to people already in college but its all good man, lol. Take the ACT again and youll probably do better. I only took the SAT and ACT one time each bc i was stupid. Do you consider yourself a good test taker or do tests make you nervous? Im fortunate that they dont bother me a whole lot. I kinda wish they did so i was forced to study more in highschool but whatever.

    EDIT: Be sure to take the SAT too bc theyre two totally different tests. You may do alot better on one than the other. A 30 on the ACT translates to about a 2000 on the SAT so i did like 150 points better on the ACT comparitively. It may be opposite for you man!
