Thank you Andemagne. I did the exams for last year and year before that.. they were easy, but i still worry .

I heard US Army is recruiting noncitizens soon, so maybe there's my 'break' .

I'm studying History and combinatory studies including Sociology, Philosophy and Religious Science at the Karl-Franzens-University Graz, Austria. Will be finished in a year or so.

I was just thinking about studies. I was thinking of studying computer science or something that has to do with economics.
Then i realized i could come to US to study.. would be great experience and all. I tested myself and took SAT (not the real one, just a test one) and it was quite easy, so i think i'd do well there too.
So what do you guys study and where? Would you recommend your school? I'm trying to narrow down the options, as there are endless possibilites.
Would be interesting if you can combine the two. Might think about soemthing like finance...where some of the more fancy number crunchy stuff is done lately.

A joint econ/computer science degree at Wharton or some place like that might be intellectually impressive.

But Cali has the best weather...

I'll be studying chemistry , a B.A. .

Chemistry is good. I have a good friend who is a professor at the Weizmann...

Ecthelion: well, It's not EXACTLY what I want. I'll take as much courses of molecular biochemistry as I can , perhaps even try to change to that in the first year ( It's all math , chemistry, and physics at the first year , anyway) . If I won't be able ,I'll just try to complete to a BA in molecular biology . It's just a difference in a couple of courses, it can't be hard. Stupid army jerks, won't let me go there straight away.

Just got back from test.. it went ok, but it didn't went great.
i think almost full points are needed for to get in, because there were SOOOO many people trying. I know at least one mistake already i made . But we'll see what's gonna happen.. have to wait for a month for the results. Have a bad feeling but can't lose hope!

If you don't get in, how about taking a shot at Åbo Akademi next year. I myself didn't even have the guts to try the test at Helsinki University Already during the preparation courses I realized that it would be like banging your head against a wall
