Grrr...SAT Scores...

jeebus, I just read some of the posts I skimmed....you're mediocre at best at mathematics and science, and you want to major in
Electrical Engineering
Chemical Engineering
General Chemistry
General Physics
???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a joke right? You'll actually do MORE math with any of those 4 majors than if you were a mathematics major, trust me. Math majors work with mathematics theory, physics/chem/engineers do a LOT of applied mathematics. And we're not talking balance your checkbook, or find the area of the circle kind of math.
Nothing personal, but if math isn't your strong point, then I really wouldn't suggest any of those 4 majors.

All I did was state my GPA and my SAT score. Neither necessarily reflects my intelligence to its full extent. You don't know anything else about my background, and therefore have no right to make idiotic judgments like that.

eh, with those creds, you're one of 2 things:
1) inadequately prepared to tackle a major/profession that relies heavily on mathematics
2) a smart slacker, which also makes you inadequately prepared to tackle a major/profession that relies heavily on mathematics.

How the ---fudgesicle--- are you to judge me in my understanding of science? Did I ever mention a standardized test score or grade I received in a science course?
And just to let you know, when I took the SAT, I still hadn't taken Algerba II yet. I'm in the process of taking it now, and by the June SAT, I hopefully will have it absorbed to some extent, and will hopefully do better on the tests. Now, if I don't do any better, may my dreams of actually doing what I want to in life be flushed down the toilet. But until that happens, if it happens, shut the ---fudgesicle--- up!

You do realize that the "classrom" education is really only 1/2, if that, of the education you get "learned" at college. Experiencing new things, learning to develop and operate outside of your "comfort zone", and frankly the only important think I think formal education brings -> learning how to really, and i mean really "think".
Seriously, I wish you well, but I'm not one of those "glass is always full, even if it's not" kind of people. I don't believe that everyone is exceptional, just in their own way, or that we should reward mediocrity. Take the best advantage of the opportunity of higher education.
