We love students who know what they want to do early. It takes a lot of steps to become a surgeon. Medical school is the largest part, and while that won’t be for several years (usually, we assume you aren’t a Doogie Houser or anything), there are steps you can take now to help you on your journey. Med school is competitive and going to a great school as an undergrad can help you get into the program of your dreams. TL;DR: Taking the right classes in high school can help you get into college which will help you get into med school. Colleges are looking for applicants who have good background knowledge and skills in their hopeful field. Let’s break down what classes are great choices to take for hopeful surgeons.
Best Colleges for Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering is the study and design of electronic, electromagnetic, and electrically-powered machines and technologies. It is regarded by some as the largest technical profession in the world, and it encompasses everything from huge systems to tiny electronics. Graduates with degrees in electrical engineering can work in nearly any field that intersects with technology and physical products.
What Classes Should I Take in High School to Become an Electrical Engineer?
Engineering is a hot field right now. More and more students are dreaming of becoming engineers. If you hope to be an electrical engineer, going to a great undergrad engineering program should be your first step. However, these programs can be competitive. With more students becoming interested in engineering these programs are also getting more selective. To really stand out as an applicant, you want to show that you have the skills and knowledge base to hit the ground running as an engineering student. But how do you do that? Let’s break down some of the classes (and extracurriculars) that you should get on your transcript.
Best Colleges for Artsy Students
If you’re a creative student in love with the arts, you’ll be looking for a college that empowers you as an artist and encourages you to go deeper into your favorite forms and fields. You could, of course, find that at an art school — but we find that some students are looking for a college experience with more diversity and greater room for academic exploration than most art schools allow for. After all, when you apply to an art school, you are saying “yes, art, this is it.” But maybe it’s just one piece of you that you want to hold onto and grow, but without having to say goodbye to everything else.
Best Colleges for Environmental Engineering
If you’ve looked into majoring in engineering in college or majoring in environmental studies, or possibly a dual major combining the two, you’ve probably seen environmental engineering pop up as an option that merges them seamlessly. Cornell, the first school on this list of the Best Colleges for Environmental Engineering describes Environmental Engineering well when they write, “Environmental engineers are called upon to understand, arrange and manipulate biological, chemical, ecological, economic, hydrological, physical and social processes to balance our material needs with our impacts on the environment.”
What Classes Should I Take in High School to Become a Dentist?
While most students will decide to become a dentist later in their academic careers, some students just know that they are destined for dentistry before they even apply to college. While there is no one set of courses you have to take in high school to become a dentist, there are some classes you can take to help you build a set of skills and an impressive resume that will help you on your journey to dentistry.
Classes to Take in High School for Aerospace Engineering
Ok, first off, let us just say you are cool. Not a ton of people know in high school that they are serious about Aerospace engineering. It’s a fairly specialized major, meaning not every college is going to have a program in it. Future aerospace engineers thus have to start planning a little earlier than your average engineer. Many of the schools that offer this major are highly competitive, so you should make sure you are the best candidate you can be. Part of this is choosing the right classes to take in high school. So what classes should you be taking? Let’s break it down.
The Best Colleges for your Astrological Sign: Gemini
It's cold, the holidays are long over, and you’ve watched everything good on Netflix. It might just be the perfect time to begin crafting your college list. We encourage our students to focus on 3 major factors as they create their lists: academic viability, program fit, and social/cultural fit. This third category can be a little confusing. How do you know what social and cultural atmosphere will work for you? Well, we’ve been experimenting with a fun lens for breaking down different social/cultural types: astrology. While we by no means recommend considering your astrological sign seriously in your college decision, it can be a helpful way to organize student archetypes.
What Classes Should I Take in High School to Become a Therapist?
There are many types of therapists. Whether you hope to work at a school, in an office with a chaise lounge, or in a social work office, therapists are there for people in need. While there are several steps to becoming a therapist, it’s never too early to start planning. Let’s break down what you can start doing/taking in high school.
Best Colleges for Creative Writing in California
If you’re thinking of pursuing a career that involves writing — whether in publishing, academia, corporate, or with a nonprofit — you may be thinking about majoring in creative writing in college. As you start looking around for options, you’ll quickly learn that most colleges and universities actually don’t offer creative writing as a major, or even as a minor or concentration. A formal writing program, like Creative Writing, is more uncommon than it is common, so it takes some hunting to find a school that’s a perfect social fit and has the program you want.
Best Colleges for Creative Arts
If you’re thinking of pursuing an art degree in college, you may have heard the phrase “Creative Arts” somewhere in your research. Some colleges do offer undergraduate degrees in “Creative Arts,” but most of those schools aren’t particularly prestigious and many only offer them as two-year degrees. When we work with students, we encourage them to consider colleges that offer more specific degrees in the arts, and that have a strong name recognition as an impressive, prestigious, and good-value institution.
What Not To Do Freshman Year Of High School
How to Make a Resume for College Application
Writing your college application resume may be one of the last things on your to-do list, and we wouldn’t blame you if it is. When you’re applying to college, the resume is one of the last things students, parents, and teachers talk about — and often they don’t talk about it at all. The silence around the college application resume is probably because the Common App doesn’t make much of a fuss about it either. The resume is practically hidden in the application, and it is typically noted as optional. Why spend much time on something if it’s hidden and optional, after all?
Ideas for Summer Plans for Sophomores in High School
You’re like, officially a high school student now. You are about to finish your sophomore year and become a *rising junior* and all that entails. You know, from your older friends and family scaring you, that junior and senior year get intense. There’s something more serious… more dignified… about 11 and 12 that 10 just doesn’t have. And so in preparation for this more challenging year, you might be tempted to take it easy this summer. Relax. Do nothing. Terrible idea.
Best Colleges for Environmental Science
If you’re considering a major in Environmental Science, finding a college that offers exactly what you’re looking for can be a little tough. Almost every college offers something that looks like Environmental Science — or at least sounds like it — and some people will say, “Isn’t that just biology?” Well, first, no, it’s not. Environmental Science is not the same as biology. It’s studying the environment in a way that overlays natural sciences, social sciences, and policy. Most Environmental Science programs approach this through the lens of problem-solving, hence the policy side.
Best Sport Culture Colleges in US
We have to start this post with a disclaimer: we do not recommend selecting a college based solely on how fun the football games are. That said, we do like a good game of sports ball. And when it comes to college, you should be able to have fun where you end up. For you, that may mean a few tailgates and choreographed fight songs. After all, college isn’t just about classes and grades. You should enjoy yourself inside and outside of the classroom. For many students, that means getting sports into the mix.
Classes to Take in High School for Business
Are you hoping to get into business schools like Wharton, Haas, Stern, Ross, Tepper, McCombs, or the like? Undergraduate business schools want applicants who have already shown commitment to the field and have some business experience. While you can show this through internships and clubs, you can also show this through the classes you take. So you might be asking yourself, what classes should I be taking? Let’s break it down.
How to Build Out Your Extracurriculars for Environmental Science
Environmental Science is becoming the sleeper hit among our clients. There seems to be no other issue that unites Gen Z more than our planet. Oceans, rivers, lakes, plains, and the status of our kids’ own backyards has dominated our client calls for months. It’s also becoming a wildly popular major across top colleges, with many creating in-depth programs aimed at alleviating climate change.
What Classes Should I Take in High School to Become a Lawyer?
Getting into law school? What like it’s hard? Ok, in all seriousness, it is. While many decide in college that they want to go to Law School and become a lawyer, more and more students are figuring out that this is their path earlier. We work with high school students all the time who hope to become lawyers and they always ask us “what can I do in high school to become a lawyer?” It’s kind of a hard question to answer. But we like to start by suggesting classes and clubs that will build the right set of skills to become a lawyer. Let’s break down what those classes look like.
Best Sports Management Colleges
If you love sports, you may be considering a degree in Sports Management. You may be surprised to learn, however, that not many four-year colleges and universities offer undergraduate degrees in Sports Management. If you’re looking to pursue a Bachelor of the Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Sports Management, you’ll have to be willing to choose from a shorter list of options than if, say, you wanted to major in English. That can be a frustrating place to start your collegiate admissions journey, but the good news is that if you do pursue a Sports Management degree, you’ll be set up for success for finding a job in the sports industry — or beyond.
