Future Career/Help with Schools!
#1
I have no idea what I would like to pursue in when older. I have the Advanced classes that I feel would help me enough to go into whatever I choose, which is good.

Classes (Either taking/will take. Assume a 3.6-4.0 GPA):
  • AP Chemisty
  • AP English
  • AP Spanish
  • AP Calculus
  • AP Biology (Possible)
  • An AP History Class of some sort

I would love to go into Computer Science. I have had no sort of Computer related classes due to my electives (One was Spanish, I am taking this all 4 years of Highschool for a Special Diploma. The other was used to double up on Science courses.) taking up all of my "space".

The major thing to me is the money. I would prefer to make around $100,000. Don't give me the "nice dreams" thing. I know for a fact that I could go into a Medical Science field or maybe be a Lawyer and make that much. But I would like to find something that I actually am interested in.

Some Schools I am interested in:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
This is my dream School. The chances of me getting in are slim to none, even considering I will probably score around 30+ on my ACT. I have messed up my Freshman year of Highschool by getting around a 3.3 GPA.

Stanford University
My second pick. They have a nice Computer Science program I have read.

Cornell University
University of California-Berkeley
Carnegie Mellon University
Princeton University
Harvard University
Brown University
Yale University


All of the above have nice Computer Science programs.
Consider money not a problem.

Questions:
What Computer-Related field would allow me to make $100,000+?
Out of the Schools listed, with considerance to my GPA and Advanced Highschool Courses, which could I get in to?
Can I do anything else (Take a Summer program perhaps) that may grab the attention of one of the Schools I like?

Thanks for any opinions or help!
