I've only been posting and reading in the forum for like two months, but I noticed that a lot of you guys are 1)Much older than me and 2) Really smart, so I thought I'd ask you this... What is a good college to go to? I know this sounds stupid to ask a bunch of people you don't even know, but I'm totally stumped. I've been getting mail from people everywhere around the country and I can't distinguish one letter from another. I talked to my counselor at school, and she wasn't helpful either. Does anyone have any suggestions? If it helps here is some info on me...

I want to major in Chemistry and possibly minor in Computer Programming or Education.

I have a 97.8 average out of 100, a 780 on my SAT verbal, 670 on the math and I haven't taken my ACT yet.

I graduate in 2002.

I don't have a lot of money for college. I haven't got a job and my family gets about 10,000 dollars a year.

I live in New York.

I've done almost no community service, although I do a lot of extracurricular activities.

If anyone has ANY help on this I would appreciate me. The whole subject of college is starting to give me a headache. If you want to know anything else, just ask...
