<p>I'm currently a junior in High school. I want to go into the medical field - a doctor. However, I'm not exactly sure which college I want to go to.
My cousin got into Cornell with a free ride as her GPA was great and she got a 2350 on her SATs, but I'm not exactly like that. </p>
<p>I'm asian , which I've been told affects my acceptance.
I have a 3.6 GPA.
I took AP US Government as a freshman, AP Human Geography as a sophomore (in addition to doubling up in two sciences : Honors Chem and Anatomy & Physiology . My school's sophomores take usually take Biology), and as a Junior, I am currently taking AP Biology, AP English Language, and AP Statistics. I skipped a level in french - (French V), but that doesn't exactly help for someone who wants to be in the medical field. I take a regular Honors Euro class as well.</p>
<p>I'm in the National Honor Society</p>
<p>As a Senior, I want to be in Allied Health, and my counseler said I have a good chance getting in as I took A & P as a sophomore, while you are supposed to take it as a Junior or Senior.</p>
<p>It looks as if I'll be getting three Bs for the first marking period, but I've been working to make sure that doesn't happen again. I'm shooting for As. </p>
<p>Regarding my Extra curriculars, I am the President of B.O.L.D, a type of leadership club. I'm an editor in the school newspaper, and I'm studying to participate in the Science Olympiad in A & P and water quality. </p>
<p>With volunteer work, I'll be helping out at the Birches, a nursing home, and have sent in an application to volunteer at a nearby hospital. </p>
<p>I've been studying for the SATs for a year now, as I got a 150 on my PSATs.
At the moment, my scores range from 1950-2100. (reading is the worst - around 600, while Math I usually range from 750-800 and my English from 700-750). </p>
<p>Last time I checked, my rank was in the 6th percentile (It fell from 12th/400 students to 24/400)</p>
<p>I'm not sure what college I should go to, a good Ivy league for undergrad, or a good college that isn't exactly an Ivy but has a good reputation? </p>
<p>And even so, will I even be able to get a scholorship, beause my family can't afford to pay for my college and I really want to go as I've been trying to shape my high school career so that I could become a doctor. </p>
<p>Where should I strive to raise my scores - GPA, SAT, (SAT subject tests, I plan to take the Math 1 and 2s, and the Bio test). </p>
<p>I 'm sorry if this was such a long read :c
I'm just kind of freaking out. -.-</p>
