Thanks for the advice everyone. I have wanted to major in creative writing because my favorite author, Jodi Picoult, did as well. I am thinking of applying to Johns Hopkins, Princeton, and Columbia, among others. As far as I know, all the schools I've been invited to (including these, MIT, Brown, and Dartmouth) have history. I'm thinking I would like to probably double-major in that. As for teaching, I would either be a history or English teacher. I researched it, and to be a HS teacher you just have to take a test in that subject area after you have your teaching lisence. I really liked the Johns Hopkins writing program a lot. Also, I'm taking CW in school this year, and it's OK so far. I enjoyed the activities up until we had to write a story with a prompt. Do all classes do that? I don't mind very open-ended prompts, but I don't like ones like the one I had... "You are walking down the hall and hear strange sounds [that we listened to in class] and see a strange door..." I love reading and writing, so I don't mind reading the books for classes. I suppose if I didn't like it, I could always switch to it as a minor.
