What book would you recommend me to begin with Mechanical Engineering? What's the best experience you had while you were studying the degree in Mechanical Engineering? also, what was the worst experience? What social skills did you develop coursing the career?

CarlyleWhat career would suit me based on my interests?
Hello, I'm currently in my last year of hs and tbh very confused. I wanna do everything but nothing at the same time. I have physics, chemistry, maths, biology and 2 languages as my subjects. I have a strong dislike towards maths, it has traumatized me frankly speaking. Chemistry is alright as long as it's inorganic and physical chemistry but organic? Hell no. I don't mind physics but I know for a fact that I won't be able to study that for 4-6 years continuously. I like bio and I tolerate it the most so going for something in bio would be a smart choice imo. I thought bout creative careers too like arch, graphic designing etc cuz I'm good at art but I realised just by being good at art won't make me the best in this, I lack creativity of my own. I also dont wanna do anything in commerce related. So what should I do? What career would suit me?

How do I know if engineering is the right major for me? #Spring25
I am a high school senior and i am planning to major in engineering because i am good with math and similar things but i dont want to get burnt out if engineering is too difficult
SpringfieldIs memorization important in engineering?
I'd consider math my best subject, but if it's been a while since I've done a specific type of problem, I usually have to reteach myself. Is this normal? I'm currently a senior in high school taking Pre-Calc, and I get 100% on all my assignments and tests. However, if I were given a problem from the beginning of the school year, I'd probably struggle with it. Would this negatively impact my exam grades in college or affect how well I perform as an electrical engineer?

What are my chances on getting into NYU and how can I increase them?
I am a junior in Highschool and I currently have a 3.8 weighted GPA. By this summer I should have at least a 30 superscore ACT. 100 community service hours but maybe closer to 200. I would plan on majoring in mechanical engineering and Asian Studies so I have many STEM and language extracurriculars. I have leadership positions and I'm active in my community. I'm a junior so I don't have to write my essay just yet but I think the idea I have for it is pretty good. By my senior year I will have 10-12 APs and 5-7 honors. I'll have 4 years plus AP Spanish credit and 2 years of Chinese. I have research hours and awards in competitions.
