PLEASE help me

<p>I just started my junior year and high school and hope to get into a good college and eventually med school and was wondering if I’m on the right path. </p>

<p>I go to an all-girls Catholic school where I have always taken honors and advanced classes. This year I’m taking Honors English III, Spanish III, AP Bio, APUSH, Honors Algebra II, Forensics, and a religion class. Next year I plan to take AP English, Honors Precal, Anatomy & Physiology, Spanish IV, Government, and possibly AP Physics or AP Chem. I am worried because I won’t take Calculus before high school is over, is that a big problem? I also am pretty good in sciences but am worried about AP Physics/Chem because there is a lot of math, which I am average at. I plan on taking classes to help me prepare for the ACT and will probably try until I get around a 30. So far, I have always gotten 1st Honors and mostly A’s, occasional B’s. This year I have a feeling I’ll have more B’s because this year is much harder, so it that bad, will it hurt me substantially?</p>

<p>I also want to tell you about extracurricular. I know colleges probably don’t care about years prior to high school but I have played club volleyball 7th-10th grade, but I don’t enjoy it any more so I was planning on quitting that, but would that look bad? Also I volunteer at a nearby hospital and am a member of a academic group called Women in Medicine. Last year I was a member of Women in Law and I got a small fraction of a credit for that.This year I am a part of the Philanthropy Club and plan to do that next year as well, possibly as a co-president. I also plan on doing either bowling or lacrosse this year. I also am involved in service projects though my school’s Key Club. I also participate in Ambassadors Club. Is this enough? I don’t have much free time so I would like to make sure that what I am involved in is worthwhile. </p>

<p>Are there other things I should get involved in to make my applications better? Classes to take? Extracurricular? Volunteering? Please help me I really want to be successful.</p>

<p>Also what are good colleges that offer fairly cheap out of state tuition and also offer notable pre-med classes?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Don’t quit volleyball outright, perhaps continue in Junior Varsity? Schools don’t like it if you ‘quit’ something, but they’re mostly interested in knowing what you’re passionate about.
The “normal” math curriculum stops at precalc so you’re fine.
Before we can recomment “good/cheap/OOS colleges” we need to know
1° what’s instate for you?
2° will you need need-based aid (=> you’ll want a school that meets 100% need for middle class and working class students) or merit based aid (=> parents can’t or won’t pay EFC;: you’ll need a list of schools with generous merit aid for stats)?</p>

<p>I suppose I won’t quit volleyball although I’m not passionate about it anymore, I don’t play for school, it is a club team and I actually dread it. </p>

<p>In-state for me would be Ohio
My parents are willing to pay for up to $10,000 a year but I would have to pay for room and board. </p>

<p>I live near Cleveland, but my parents want me to go to University of Cincinnati. I have done research and it seems to be a good school, and it also has a medical school. This is my first post so sorry if I’m not giving enough information.</p>
