<p>Hello. :) I am a sophomore in high school, and I know that it's sort of early, but I want to make sure I plan well. I have a good list of schools and back-up schools planned out already, which I'll show you in a moment. My current cumulative GPA is of three semesters, two from freshmen year and one from this year, and it's a 3.55. I know this is low (relatively). I had gotten a 3.65 and a 3.7 in my freshman year, however my father struggled with alcoholism the first semester of this year and it my GPA dropped to a 3.3 then because of stress. However, everything is far better now and I'm getting my usual As and A-s again - my GPA should be up quite a bit higher when I apply to colleges, as I should be getting around a 3.7 for the remainder of my time in high school.</p>
<p>Anyway, I really want to double major. I love art, but I cannot have a career in it; it doesn't pay well and my mother is spending tons of money to send me an expensive school (I go to a very prestigious private school) to get me a good education. I actually want to be a radiologist, therefore requiring me to go to medical school. Because of this, I want to do both a science major and an art major (probably illustration, painting, or medical illustration) at whichever college I go to. Or perhaps, if it is relayed to me that this would be far too difficult (I have no idea right now), I can minor in art. Do you think a double major is possible for me? Is this a good option, or would you suggest something else?</p>
<p>Thank you VERY much.</p>
