<p>Maybe you should figure out why you haven't done as well in math and science. The colleges that see your transcipt will certainly be wondering. Do you put in the necessary homework and study time? Were you accelerated too fast? Is the teaching inadequate?</p>
<p>If the answer is "not enough study," then you need to reconsider. College is much more about self-motivation than high school was. Find a course of study that interests you enough to pull you away from parties and video games.</p>
<p>In looking at your transcript, I'd think schools might have some concerns with your interest in bioengineering:</p>
<p>No AP Calc; AP Stats instead
Taking AP Physic without having taken regular Physics and without a strong math background
AP Bio score a 3
Math 2C score of 650</p>
<p>You don't need to major in a science to go to med school, you just have to complete the premed course work and take the Mcats. Read the OP on this thread:</p>

<p>My problem is not "not study enough", its a cumulation of too much work from other classes. I usually gave math and sciences the short end of the stick because I could get by without reading the material 5 times.</p>
<p>It's good that you can motivate yourself enough to get A's in your less-favorite classes. However, think about this: in an engineering curriculum at a top school, you'll be up against many students who aced high school math and science without much trouble. It's one of the toughest courses of study, and you'll be going in with less of the material mastered. Will a string of mediocre grades get you into med school? You know the answer to that.</p>
<p>Look harder at schools that are a match for you. They are more likely to be interested, and you are more likely to be successful and happy at a school which fits you. Good luck!</p>
<p>Makes sense, even if i get I will have problems maintaining my future.</p>
<p>You might want to look into Duke if biomedical engineering is what you're interested in. I know 50% of Pratt (engineering school) majors in that, mostly because Duke is especially strong in that area (at least top five nationally). Pratt is also notoriously easier to get into than the college of arts and sciences, so it might be less of a reach for you.</p>
<p>You might consider a school like University of the Pacific. A lot of students really like it and you can probably do well there. If you really want to go to the east coast you might do better at a liberal arts college than a university. You could major in biology instead of bioengineering. Look in Rugg's Recommendations at the library for schools that are good in biology. Biology seems like a good major for you if you like it and you are interested in medicine.</p>
