A struggling 16 yr old!(pre-med,MBA,Business, fashion)
Hi, I’m currently a 16 year old who recently got homeschooled and in my junior year of high school. I’m on a journey on rediscovering myself of what I’m capable of doing( I’m trying to learn what I’m good at and I’m not and who I am). I used to run my own candy business and it was fun interacting with people and getting their feedback on my candy so it got me thinking for quite some time that I love knowing what I do makes people happy and makes their day a bit better with a snack so I was wondering if something in the medical field or maybe fashion because I like the way fashion is and the way it hold confidence over me maybe can be an option because I don’t want to work where I will be behind a computer while working a 9-5 job. I like helping people, marketing objects, social media, being my own boss, making discoveries. Things to know about me: -I get bored to easily if it’s a repeating cycle of the same day -I like to travel -my family plays a big role - I like to challenge myself - I have an ENTP personality -I want to make an impact on people’s life's - I want to make my make name known in the world and leave history behind

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. ?

Which UCs in California have good medical connections to companies like pharmaceutical providers focused on using advanced technology?
I am an 11th grader in high school, and my focus in the job market is working in the medical field with the integration of advancing technology after graduating college. In college, I want to major in biotech. After graduating from four years of college, I would like to go to medical school for four years, but becoming a specialized doctor would take me two more years in medical school. In total, I will spend 10 years studying to prepare the right knowledge and understanding in the medical field. I would like to know anything about the medical field in pharmaceuticals so that I can prepare myself on what to do and what not to do before getting myself into this for 10 years. My skills are having a positive mindset to learn something new every day and an understanding of complex vocabulary in works of literature and songs.

What should I consider when choosing a university for a biology major?
I am a senior in high school living in Virginia, and I aspire to become a doctor. After living in Canada for 8 years, I have continued my education in Virginia since the 10th grade. I have decided to pursue a degree in biology in college. Based on the research I have done and the people I have spoken with, many suggest that due to the very high costs of medical schools, it is a wise choice to select a university with the lowest possible budget for pre-med. They believe that attending a nearby university with low costs for a biology degree, combined with a good GPA and a high MCAT score, would be sufficient to get into a top medical school. I would like to hear your opinions on this matter as well. I am about to start applying to colleges, and I have nearly completed my college list. My college list includes the University of Virginia (my priority), JMU, William & Mary, Virginia Tech, Virginia Commonwealth University, George Mason University, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, University of Florida, Georgetown University, Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Washington Seattle. If you have any other school recommendations, I am open to considering them. Thank you in advance for your response.
