<p>I've been trying to figure out what to take in university for a while now and I am really stuck. I am taking bio, chem, phsy, calc, geometry in grade 12 high school. I find that I'm most interested in biology of them all, although I did very well in physics and quite well in chemistry. I'm having a bit of trouble with geometry but until now I've gotten mid 90's in math. My overall average in high school has been about 93% but I've had to work hard to get that mark. So I'm looking for people out there who have taken similiar classes as me in high school and with similiar grades, and wondering they've gone on to in college or as a career.</p>
<p>I think you should not worry too much. I'm at Stanford, starting my junior year, and I have incredibly intelligent friends who are still trying to decide on a major and have no idea what their career will be. (I'm weird and have wanted to be a doctor since I was 6.) When you get into college, I advise you to try a class or two in bio/math/phys/chem and see what department you like. Of course, one class in each field won't be entirely representative, but it'll give you an idea of which you prefer when it comes to higher education.</p>
<p>Another important thing - at least for my high school, classes were pretty basic (biology, calculus, physics, US history). I have found that there is SO much variety in college - you can take classes on mechanisms of neuron death or medieval literature or Greek heroines. You should explore in college, at least a little bit; there's so much I never expected to learn in high school. So don't worry if you don't have a clear idea of what to do right now.</p>
<p>Another good tip I have is, when you get to college, just browse through the course offerings. I went into college thinking I would study biochemistry, but I saw "Brain and Behavior" in the course catalog, thought it sounded fascinating... I took the class and got hooked!! Now I'm studying both the biology of the brain and the behavioral implications of the biology.</p>
<p>And your grades are good... please don't think that your performance up to this point has a huge bearing on what your career will be. I know people who were very into math/science in high school and ended up being very happy political science majors.</p>
<p>My point is don't worry about it at this point. Explore in college, and I have faith that you will figure out what you love.</p>
<p>Thank you very mucho for your advice. It's just hard not to worry when all my teachers are saying you should know what you want to do with your life by the time you're sixteen. Not to mention, most people in my class already know exactly what they want to do while I don't even know what to study.</p>
