text: what should i major in? i love math! its my favorite subject. im in the chess club,math team, drum and bugle corp. i am at the top of my sophomore class, with class rank of number 1. i am very confused because i should start looking at colleges by now , but im not sure what i should look for because i think it should all depend on what i want to major in. i was thinking about an ivy leaghe school or something like that, even though i think thatthere is litte possiblity of me gettin in to an ivy league school but i will sure try. i love math. now you stated that you have the highest class rank in your glass, which is impressive. its a great thing that your intrested in college in your sophomore year. first things first, there are many professions that involve math, and majors. since you seen to have good grades, i would start planing for the top technical schools. mainly mit. if teaching is not your thing, look into engineering. (that my major) also it dependes on the type of job you want. if your looking to be very wealthy, i would'nt recommend math as major, in comparsion to a career in medicine.  however if you extremely love math, and don't care about becoming very wealthy (good for you!), then a math major at mit is the plan for you.  another thing is that 10th grade math, which for you (depends on your school) could be geometery or trig, is nothing compared to advance math. such as calculus. entering advance calculus, is like going into a new world. ie.. differential equations
