I don't want to reply to each one, just maybe the best ones out of what I've received so far. I'm a sophomore in HS and I'd like to major in business and computer science and a minor in a foreign language or major in that if it's possible too. I wouldn't be worried about doing it all in 4 years unless I can do the first two majors and a minor in spanish in that time. Keep in mind I would have had 5 years of Spanish going into College.

Anyway, here are the colleges:

University of Evansville
Bradley University
Illinois Wesleyan University
Rhodes College
New York University
Hanover College
Butler University - These guys sent the best packet of information
University of Miama
University of Chicago
Valparaiso University
Brown - They sent some summer courses information

Keep in mind I live in Indiana so instate costs would be lower

That's too many options. I chose one, applied to one, got accepted to one, and I'm now attending that one.

Wow - so does everyone else. Trust me, you'll change, almost everyone changes.

That or Purdue is too good for him. Looks like he listed a bunch of mailings he got. Hope he realizes that everyone gets the same mailings.

if this is just junk mail, or you're just asking for catalogs, ask for them all. by your senior year you would have received about 8 million you won't really care.

you should look at the colleges YOU WANT. that have the size you want, the community you want, and have the majors you want, in the area you want. for me, that meant in california no matter what.

and unless you never want to sleep again, i don't think you can TRIPLE major. most people barely get out with their one. 5 years of spanish means nothing if you can't pass out of the first two years of the language, if you really want to double major/minor or triple major. you REALLY need the AP credit or to pass out of everything in the language placement exam. i mean i had four years of french and i only passed into french 3.

Oh, that's right... Purdue is getting more competitive. Obviously our friend didn't make the cut for their mailings this year... tis a shame.

I'm opting for "Purdue is too good for him."

AgaBooga, go to Rhodes, get sucked into the hell-hole that is Tennessee. It will corrupt you, disturb you, and utterly drive you to suicide. And I will be happy. Because I recommended that you come to Tennessee. :)

Make sure you visit each school you get accepted into. Also choose a major based on something you want to do, not how much the profession makes.

write down your whole "triple major" plan on a piece of paper, put it somewhere safe, and take a look at it in 5 years... you'll have a good chuckle.

You told me that and you told minendo that.

Only time I spole with Minendo was when he IMed me regarding an organic chemistry question, we didn't talk about school beyond that. Could you tell me when I said that to you? My IM keeps logs of all my chatting, I'd be glad to pull it up.
