<p>I'm a prospective undergrad looking to apply to a college in a warm state...first that came to mind...beautiful Arizona. I'm visiting both Arizona State University and The University of Arizona in a few months. </p>
<p>I'm from the Northeast, a difficult high school. Here's a little bit about myself:</p>
<p>GPA: 4.4
Decent extracurricular activities
Interested in entering the medical field, also majoring in Spanish
Mature
Sociable
Smart
Diligent </p>
<p>I'm wondering the difficulty level of the Honors Program, more specifically, the PreMed Program. I'm confident that I will be accepted very easily into either one of the schools in Arizona (I don't mean to come across as cocky). I'm just wondering if they're "right" for me.</p>
<p>I'm thinking- will I be bored out of my mind as I am a very fast-paced worker that can handle difficult work, or, will I fit in just right and feel as though the work is suited to my level of capability? </p>
<p>Please let me know what you all think, and what your personal experiences have been like. </p>
<p>My hopes are to become a nurse/ doctor. I really enjoy the sciences, helping those in need, and I can handle blood and guts haha. So when I put that all together, I am thinking either a career in nursing or becoming a doctor would be right for me. Although, I may also be interesting in specializing in a field- not sure yet.</p>
<p>I am very interested in also receiving a degree in Spanish. I enjoy speaking the language and I believe that it will allow me to increase job possibilities as many jobs are hiring those who are bilingual. </p>
<p>I’m wondering the difficultly because my first instinct was to apply to a more difficult school, for example, Wake Forest in North Carolina. With a little more effort, I believe that I could be accepted to that school. So, I’m wondering if an “easier” school like ASU or U of A would suit me. Man, this is coming across as cocky. But, I just don’t want to be sitting in class wishing the work was harder, or that I wasn’t too advanced for the courses I had chosen. </p>
<p>I’ll be taking the SAT in March- my scores should be between 1900-2100.</p>
<p>I have a single mother, not much income, so we’re expecting a lot of need-based financial aid/ scholarships.</p>
<p>I went to Arizona state prior to med school. You will be as bored or as challenged as you want to be. For me, i just kept taking more credits than necessary. I took twelve credits when writing my thesis, which I found much easier a course load but I kept busy. I don’t recommend double majoring, especially if your second major is also a conscience, unless you are bringing in a Hoarde of ap credits that actually are useful. It limits you because of the fact that you will have to take some classes at undesirable times because you have to cram so many required classes in a specific orderso that you graduate on time. It also limits your time to take advantage of all of asu’s resources, which is quite easy if you are a top student.</p>
<p>Also course material in undergrad is pretty standardized, you have to learn a before b everywhere and thus your boredom or lack there of is inevitable. Both unis are large enough to offer advanced classes in anything you would dins elsewhere.</p>
