pekka: onnea matkaan

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 am among te 30 best students in school I suppose , since I am lazy. next year, I will almost surely (got a huge SAT )join arguably Israel's best school , which is the Israeli Institute of technology. I'll be studying chemistry , a B.A. .

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

GP, Thanks for that piece of information. Never thought it that way. I'll get some more info on that.

Az · May 25, 2002, 16:30

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.

GP : Weizmann is mostly R&D Institute( top notch, govt. jobs, etc. ), but they're a good school too . How did you get to meet him ?

Telecommunications Engineering in Malaga, Spain

TCO · May 25, 2002, 17:04

Dal, yeah I know. He taught a course at NU, where I did my Ph.D.

Az · May 25, 2002, 17:11

NU? what is it ?

so you're a chemist ? ( I almost said 'too'

)

TCO · May 25, 2002, 17:16

Northwestern University

Az · May 25, 2002, 17:38

okay. so you are a chemist ? does it have anything to do with your job in the military?

TCO · May 25, 2002, 17:53

no. And I am not on active duty...

GePap · May 25, 2002, 21:04

I study at the good ol' University of Chicago, about to graduate in two weeks with a degree in plotical Science.

Pekka · May 26, 2002, 07:30

Uh oh, less than 24 hours to the test!
I also got 38.5C fever

. My head is jammed! Damn!
Well i have to give it a shot, no excuses.

Pekka · May 27, 2002, 07:23

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!

Aivo½so · May 27, 2002, 08:23

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

Pekka · May 27, 2002, 08:38

Heh.. My second was Tampere... But i didn't put Åbo Akademi as one.. i could of done it though.. now when i really think about it. Stupid me. I just asked my friend who was holding them and he confirmed and just said you have to get full points to get in. DAMN! and i made one stupid stupid little mistake. Hope still lives..
