As of right now, I am a Senior in High School.

But, I am going to attend my local community college for a year..

then...

I am either going to transfer to:

Wayne State University: double major in Physics/Electrical Engineering
Lawrence Technological University: triple major in Physics/Electrical Engineering/Computer Science
University of Michigan: double major in Physics/Electrical Engineering

So, either way, I have my plans set and hope to accomplish one of them. :D

Hey, jamesohgoodie! How are 'ya??? Just a little FYI, if you're interested in knowing, I'm not all that far from you, as I attend North Central University! (Formerly North Central Bible College.)

I'm presently a Youth Ministry Major there.

Spring Semester starts up January 14th, and there's a Dunn Bros coffeeshop just down the block from NCU, so I'd LOVE to meet you and get to know you!

I'm at a bit of a crossroads. Having had my previous aspirations in the field of international relations blown all to Hell, I'm planning on either studying forensics or (quite likely due to the large part that math would play in any science-based career) teaching political science (which has GOT to be the last place that anyone would ever picture seeing an aspie teach.)

I go to a community college for the associates of arts program, which basically means I have no idea what I want to major in.

I attend a technical college in Minnesota where I go to school for two degrees which are a Video Production Specialist and Multimedia. I am currently in my third and likely last year there. Right now my main hope is to become a professional film/video editor or main focus in post-production if possible.

Depending on what area you go into, there may not be as much math as you thought. I'm hopeless with numbers, but have found many of the subject areas fine.
The field is fascinating and incredibly rewarding, and there is opportunity for specialisation in many areas.
You may also get additional help with the math side of things, many universities offer additional classes or tutoring.
If you do go for that, check that the staff actually know what they're talking about... Some universities just use the interest in forensic science to fill places, and don't employ competant, "time-served" scientists or scene examiners, who are the people you really need.
A degree from somewhere like that may not be worth much...

If you were to consider that route, I would be interested to see what area you were interested in, as it is always beneficial to collect proffessional contacts...

Best of luck with that...

I did go to Oregon State University, where I got a Bachelors of Science degree in Chemical Engineering. If I go back, I'm probably going to get my Masters at Oregon State University and PhD at University of Washington, both in Chemical Engineering.
