<p>I'm a freshman in high school. My goal is to become an oncologist or gynecologist. Of course, the Ivies are always on my list of dream universities, but in the end, I just want to be accepted to a really good school that I'll enjoy. Really, my question is if I'm on the right track to getting into a top university. This excludes EC's as of now. These are my projected schedules for my high school career:</p>

<p>Also, I currently have an unweighted GPA of 4.0 at a competitive school.
Anyways, I just want to know if any other scheduling is recommended, or if this is good.
I'm trying to make smart choices, but neither of my parents know, nor my brother. My friends don't know, and my counselor is to busy to get back to me. So I ask for your help,
CCers!</p>
<p>Yeah, looks good, as long as you think you can handle all of the APs and summer work. If you think you can do that, then sure, looks great. </p>
<p>Ha, what<code>s with the “Spanish for Spanish Speakers”? Sounds fancy. My school just calls it Spanish. Unless you</code>re one of the country hicks, in which case it`s, “Spay-nesh”.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks. I know it’ll be really tough, but hey, I can at least try. Nothing is set, so that’s good. I’m most definitely overestimating myself. :P</p>
<p>Haha, Spanish for Spanish Speakers is for native speakers. I’m Hispanic, and I can speak Spanish fluently, as well as understand it and read it, and I’m getting the hang of writing it fairly quickly. Really, we focus on grammar, literature, that sort of thing, and the whole class is taught in Spanish. For the kids who are not native, the classes are also called Spanish.</p>
<p>I think that’s fine. Man your school offers a variety of health-related classes “epidemiology”. Wow! I do have to say though, don’t immediately decide that you want to go into a specific field at such a young age(I assume your a freshman). You have plenty of time and think of other options or thing that interest you in case you find out you absolutely hate the body or get squeamish. I still don’t know what I want to do and I’m a junior, I have ideas, but none of its set. But you’re taking advanced classes and I wish you luck.</p>
<p>That<code>s a great plan you have! Too often, I see students not care, or just not think about their other years of high school, and then they aren</code>t set for college, or aren<code>t accepted to too great of one because they didn</code>t zero in on something they liked.</p>
