My current High School course plan includes these classes I have a choice in taking (not English): 10th Grade (Algebra 2 A, Chemistry A, Government+Economics H, Marketing A, IB Physics A). Junior year consists of these (IB Pre-Calculus A, IB History of the Americas H, IB/AP Biology Year 1, IB Business Management, AP Chemistry H, and Health Care Technologies 1 A). Lastly, my Senior year consists of (IB/AP Calculus A, IB 20th Century Topics, IB/AP Biology Year 2, IB/AP Advanced Physics 2 H, and Human Body Systems A) Are these solid enough classes if I do well to get into my dream schools? The University of Michigan and the University of Florida? I plan on taking all the available exams to attempt college credit. Thank you to everyone who helps and responds!

I am a 18 years old European who is on his last year of high school. When I graduate high school I want to find a remote BDR job so that I can move to the US.

I already got an interview set up with a US a company on LinkedIn but I really want to maximise my chances. I have a CRM blog with 120 articles and a bunch of experience with my own digital marketing projects, I have 160+ connections on LinkedIn and all the necessary software certifications.

San FranciscoHow do I move forward in life?
I'm at a point in my junior year of high school where everything about college, career, and life feels way too serious. I honestly don't know what to do with myself. For some reason, there seem to be too many options after high school, and I'm not even sure where to start with college applications, where to apply, what to write, or what to consider. I feel stopped in my tracks. For some context, I'm not depressed, and I have a vague idea of being in medicine, my grades are alright, and I have decent extracurriculars. I just think I'm following some kind of formula. Now that I'm at a point where I really have to think for myself and what I want, it's overwhelming.

The ColonyWhich one would benefit me more, taking 4 years of piano (Honors during 11th and 12th) and German (AP from 10th, 11th, 12th) or taking one out and doing another AP Class (Seminar, Psych, or Business Management) for my 10th grade year(Interested In Medical Field)?
Should I continue with 4 years of piano through high school or 4 years of German? I am a freshman choosing my courses for next year and I do not know whether to continue both piano and German (I already have the required credits for both) or take another AP Class (I was thinking of AP Psych or AP Seminar). I only have two more electives to choose since I have tennis 7th period and was planning on doing that for all through high school since I'm on varsity. My other classes are Pre-ap Chem, AP World History, AP Pre-calc, and Pre-ap English 2. Which classes would benefit me more in the future and on college applications if I'm interested in the medical field?(specifically neurology or dermatology)

Should I take softball next year in my junior year of high school?
I am currently a sophomore in high school that is starting to pick next year’s classes. I am not planning on playing high school in college, so I’d like to know if it’s worth it to play softball all 4 years of high school. Is it better to play 4 years of high school, or find some extracurriculars to do (I don’t know what I want to be or major in so if there are any suggestions as to what I can do for better ECs or to figure out a good career path/major) I do very well in school and next year I have a pretty full and difficult class schedule. I have been wanting to quit softball for a while (I’ve been playing for 5 years), but I’m scared I will miss it or regret it. However, I feel like i would be much less stressed without softball, and maybe even happier. Do you think I should continue playing all 4 years? Will it look better on college applications to continue playing or does it not make a big difference whether I quit or stay? If I were to quit, I’d just add another class to my schedule.
