Would you recommend having niche careers over standardized ones, such as pre-med and com sci?
I heard a lot of people recently hate on pre-med and how it's not worth the extra years and debt. I am not considering medical careers, but I am interested in what they think of people with more uncommon careers that don't necessarily need college degrees.

Have I majorly screwed up my chances for college and (hopefully!) med school?
Greetings all! Currently, I am a sophomore in high school. Last year, I was a 3.5-3.8 GPA student while learning how to study and juggling extracurriculurs. Fast forward past many things in my personal life gone wrong to sophomore year, and now I am meeting with my school counselor and therapist on a monthly basis because I've been doing horribly. I have to retake AP Calculus AB, and my transcript will show this. But in the first place, my report card has never been good since this year started. My goal is to become a psychiatrist since I wish to offer help others who are fighting monsters in ways that others cannot see. I hope I can be the one to catch those hidden struggles that many miss-and I can provide relief, comfort and remedy through a listening ear. But I know premed reqs are extremely laborious and achieving a 3.7+ GPA is NOT easy-not to mention med school-and if I'm already struggling this early... I am afraid. Have I screwed up everything already?

Which university should someone who wants to study Biology and then attend medical school choose?
I am a high school senior living in Virginia, and I aspire to become a doctor. I have received my college admissions results, and I have been accepted to the following schools: George Mason University James Madison University Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) University of Washington I have been accepted into the Biology program and plan to continue to medical school afterward. My long-term goal is to become a cardiac surgeon. I am currently undecided about which university to choose, and I would love to hear from those who have studied or are currently studying at these institutions. Based on my research, having a university-affiliated hospital can be a significant advantage for internships and work opportunities. However, I have also come across opinions that suggest it may not be as crucial. Additionally, some sources indicate that if a university has its own medical school, it might offer a small number of reserved spots for its pre-med students (provided they meet the necessary academic requirements). Considering this, James Madison, VCU, and the University of Washington have their own medical schools, whereas George Mason does not. In terms of cost, George Mason, James Madison, and VCU have similar tuition rates, and since they are all in Virginia, I would be closer to my family. However, attending the University of Washington would require me to relocate and pay higher tuition. I understand that choosing a university is a critical decision for both my career and networking opportunities. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate any insights or experiences from students who have attended these schools. Thank you in advance for your help!
