Advice/Recs for HS Student About College Admissions?
Hi! I'm an upcoming junior in high school and I figured that this would probably be the most important year in HS when talking about college admissions. I'm a Cali resident and most of the colleges I'm applying to are in-state. I'm just worried that with the amount of pressure and expectations that UCs and CSUs have currently, that I won't be able to get in my top schools. I'm planning on majoring in Health Sciences, and I know that some of the programs are hard to get into. These are some of my stats: -I'm taking the SAT and ACT this year -4.4/4.0 GPA -11 APs, 5 Honors Classes, 8 DE classes -As far for Honors and Awards, I only have a State Champs for Color Guard Freshman Year and probably an AP Scholar Award in the future. My biggest problems are my ECs, I'm president of a Habitat for Humanity Club and planning on making a Medical Connections Club next year. Other than that, I have a volunteer hours and am active in my school. I'm just worried that all of these are average, especially considering the schools I'm applying for. I wanted to start getting in touch with hospitals for shadowing and also do a research/passion project, but I don't know where to start. Sorry if this was too long but do you guys have any advice or recommendations n what to do?

What are some good high school (Junior or Senior year) foreign exchange programs for an outgoing student from California and an incoming student to Japan?
Hi there! I'm an incoming high school junior as of August 2024 and am considering taking either a semester or a school year in Japan as a foreign exchange program out of the San Juan Unified School District. The issue is that I don't know much about compatible credits or what programs would work for low-income, 16-year-olds.
Where should I take my gap year?
Hello there! I am a high school junior starting in August 2024 and I intend on taking a gap year while taking some online gen-ed classes but I don't know where to go. Some things to know: - I don't like insects, so just as few as possible but I'm flexible - AC please <3 - I LOVE the ocean, swimming, lakes, waterfalls, swimming. Really any water (: - I grew up in stereotypical California so similar weather conditions would be awesome, just not the desert or Antarctica LOL
Health Care/Medical Internships and Programs during the school year and summer for High School students?
Hi, I am a rising senior in High School. I was wondering if you could show me links of Research/Volunteering/Programs/Internship Opportunities in Medicine for High School students that are taking place during the school year. This would be during Spring, Fall, and Winter Season. Also, any other opportunities that take place during the summer. Specifically, ones that take place in the Bay Area. Thank you!

Which university should I go to? NC state at Raleigh or Cal State, Long Beach?
I'm a international student from Iran and I have been accepted to both NCSU and CSULB and I can't decide which one I should attend :) Cal state is ranked 105 while NC state is 60 among Value schools. Cal state is a lot cheaper though and they offer scholarship for international students after their first semester but NC state doesn't offer many scholarships for international students and I didn't get scholarship anyway :) They both have a good On-Campus employment and also, I know I can be around a well Iranian community in Long Beach. I love Cal state's campus a lot better but NC state offers a very good program in engineering, which is the field I want to study. I'm planning to do double major in engineering and industrial design if I go to CSULB, engineering and politics if I go to NC state. Do you think it worth to sacrifice the prestige and ranking stuff of NC state to go to Long Beach? I feel like my heart is mostly towards Long Beach due to the nice environment and the decent cost; but my mind is more towards NC state as its ranking is better (It's a lot more expensive though). Oh and the last thing, I'm thinking of doing an exchange semester or year in Europe! I will appreciate your honest thoughts and possible experiences :) Thank you for your time to read! :)
