<p>Alright, I am a male who lives in Southern California. I moved from Kosova (a small country in the Balkans) after war broke out. I speak English (obviously), Albanian, Spanish (at an AP level), and am learning Arabic (I started to do so in 8th grade, stopped, and have taken it up again this summer). I have an eye condition know as nystagmus which makes reading of any kind a challenge, especially after a few hours. It also makes tennis very difficult and explains why I remained on JV tennis for three years, making Varsity next year. My parents make less than $22,000 if that means anything. I am going to be a first generation college student.</p>

<p>SAT I: 1900 (I hope everything else will compensate and will not have my dreams crushed because of one exam. To be honest, I did not know about the SATs until I found this sight two months into my Junior year. I did manage to stumble across AP and fought to take AP Biology as a freshaan with my counselor. It is kind of ironic how I found AP and not the SAT, probably because I did not go onto their online website. I am studying to take it again in the fall as well as take the ACT.)</p>
<p>I've basically tried to do everything. I am at the top of my class and am really motivated. I need some help though. I've always planned to go into medicine but now I really want to be an investment banker. Could I somehow major somehow in finance and medicine? If so, where? Also, can someone explain to me how these majors work. I need sme clarification. Do i apply for a school with an intended major on mu application? I've been looking at Stanford and UC Berkeley mainly. I was specifically thinking of applying to the Questbridge National Match program and hopefully applying to Stanford through that program. Any help is appreciated because I can't really get help from my parents or siblings and I do not know of any person in my neighborhood who has gone to college. Thanks.</p>
