I don't plan on working until I get my bachelor's degree, and it would be pretty hard to:
- Work
- Work on my Master's Degree in Computer Science
- Work on a MBA
I would like to enter into a Doctorate program after I have a Master's in Computer Science and a MBA to get a Doctorate in Computer Science.

I have none of them close to me.

Remember that no matter what extracurricular activity you choose to partake in, be active and work to make a difference in the club; don't simply join a club so that you can put it on your application. See what you can also do for the club. Don't do all the things you can, but do all the things you want. It's really important to show prospective universities that you are proactive about pursuing your interests and goals. In short, don't just join clubs that "look good," but for example, join clubs that show colleges that you are actively involved in your interest in computers.
I believe I will, I will have to wait until next year though.
I may join a Honors club and a Technology based club too.
I do have a question. I'm not looking for an Scholarships, so is it really that hard to just get in? I mean, a good ACT score was all I thought it would honestly take. My two real choices I want are Harvard and Stanford. Both are amazing schools I believe. Would be current classes, future ACT score, and GPA not be enough to get accepted? That is really all I need, grants I may get myself and scholarships as they come.
