Are these sufficient enough classes for my career interests?
How is everyone? Hello, Y'all I have a question. I am an aspiring doctor who is a freshman in high school. 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!

Which 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)

What should i focus on in high school if i want to be a veterinarian?
I've had a love for animals ever since i was little, and by the time i was 7 i decided that i wanted to be a vet. In middle school all i could do to get ready for being a veterinarian was doing good in my classes. In my three years of middle school I did 2 years of band, 2 years of orchestra, 2 years of cheerleading , 2 years of winter guard, `1 year of art, 1 year of theater, and 1 year of outdoor trails. I was just wondering what i should do in my 4 years of high school. If you have any tips for me i would greatly appreciate it, thanks. 😊❤️

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.

How much do colleges actually care about seeing 4 years of language classes?
I’m conflicted with planning the rest of my high school schedule. I am looking into college for either an area of history or film which I know are two very different options. I’ve also been looking into combining these two with a job as a documentarian. I have currently been contemplating either continuing the 3rd and 4th years of my language or opting to be in other arts and portfolio classes that could help me when applying to art/film school. I’ve definitely been looking into uofmich as I live in Michigan but I’m really not even sure if it would be worth going there if I just want a film degree I could get somewhere else. I’m currently planing on taking an almost fully DP course schedule, the only things that would be non-DP would be my choir class and my Language/Portfolio arts class. Would it be smarter to keep my options open in college admissions and just take my 4 year language, or should I just go into the arts classes I actually want to take? How much do colleges really care about seeing a 4 year language?

How can I bring the Children and Women home?
Not many people talk about it, but I wanna stop it. Sex trafficking both angers and disgusts me to the core and I'd like to start taking classes so I can find out how to stop it. I'm currently in 10th grade and can take any online classes I want starting next semester. I've already had a semester in Psychology which I've heard helps. But I want to know all courses I can take in high school, then ones I can take in college. Then find the job to help put it to end. I need to do something to help them, but I don't know how.

Is it okay to not take a science junior year
I am currently a sophomore in high school and I want to go into pre med. I have all my science credits from taking bio chem and biomedical science and I do not have room for another junior year. Is it ok to not take science junior year but take physics senior year. In addition I want to do the certified nursing class at my school but is it worth it if I wanna become a doctor and major in biology Because the class takes up 2 blocks so If I don't do it I could take more science classes. ?
CarmelShould I be a physician assistant or elementary school teacher?
I'm having a hard time picking which one I should be. I'm stuck between being a physician assistant or an elementary school teacher. I absolutely love little kids and I'll be so happy doing that in life but at the same time teachers are so underpaid. This year I took a lot of high school science related classes since I was thinking about being a physician assistant so maybe it makes sense to just continue with it but I'm not sure. I can't really handle blood either but my school offers so many science classes and less education centered classes.
