How did you transition from being a part-time college student to attending full-time?

I'm going to be starting college in the spring semester, so in the mean time I'm taking a chemistry class and working. I'm looking forward to starting school, but I'm interested to know how others handled this transition!

Does the high school you go to matters to colleges?

For example, does a student applying from the best high school in the state he or she lives in has a higher chance of being admitted into the college she/he wants than a student that comes from a normal high school (a school with no rankings)? #high-school #high-school-students #school #student...

How do you know medical school is “for you?”

Being young it is easy to say you want to be a doctor, but with little to no exposure it’s hard to know if you’re cut for it. How does one know that they should attend medical school if they are unsure before they get into college?
