<p>I'm gonna be graduating high school this year and I've been trying to figure out what my best options for colleges might be. I'm primarily looking at Rice and Georgia Tech right now, and I've got a pretty good chance of getting in, but I'm wondering what my plan should be. I'm open to other universities also. I'm interested so far in bioengineering/biomedical engineering (not too sure on the difference between the two) and neuroscience. I'm also really interested in genetics and virology so I'm not really sure what that might tie into. I really sort of want to double major in something related with these and linguistics/a foreign language. I speak 4 languages pretty fluently and I absolutely love studying them. I think it be really great to be able to do it in college or study abroad. Basically I'm wondering if a double major would even be feasable and which combination or two I should take? Do any of these overlap? Also what would my a good career path in these subjects? If I did graduate school what should I take?</p>

<p>Idk know much about study abroads…</p>
<p>Slow down on planning grad school before you’ve even completed your first semester :)</p>
<p>Those science majors are pretty full on and taking a double major in a language could be too much given the hours out of class you need to do to immerse yourself in the language through different media. </p>
<p>Dare I suggest that you add proficiency in your existing languages? Or just take a new one for fun. </p>
<p>Depending on your languages study abroad may be totally possible, although you could always do it in English too if they’re more obscure. </p>
<p>A good career path is one you’d enjoy and makes enough for the lifestyle you want. You could go into scientific research (college or industry), medicine or nursing, speech therapy, prosthetics or any of tons of non-specific careers like teaching, law enforcement, publishing or writing, retail, management, military, local or federal government. Your major doesn’t restrict you nearly so much as you think.</p>
