<p>Hi! I'm a high school senior. girl..... in this turbulent period of confusion and chaos... echhh</p>

<p>Anyways, getting straight to my question: I'm trying to do common apps right now and schools are asking me which major i am most likely to major in at their college. I looked at common app for Yale, and it didnt have biology...</p>

<p>and anyways, im not even that sure I want to do general, literally, biology... maybe something more specific, less broad.</p>

<p>So i was wondering if u guys could give me some info on which sci major might suit me best. Im definitely not a computer science person. I want to do science but i dont want to spend all my time in a lab; i want to go out and do some hands on experience as well, whether that be in a hospital or in "nature." and im also pretty interested in global warming&preserving the earth. but as much as i am interested in the environment, i also really like biology; cells, human physiology, DNA, genetics... all the stuff i learned in HS for bio (which really wasnt all that much)</p>

<p>i dont think i will go to med school (international student;too expensive), but im still leaving the door open</p>

<p>i was maybe thinking of biomedical engineering... but i heard its one of the toughest courses... and I want a challenging major but i dont want to DIE.... </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Biochemistry seems to me like a great major for you! </p>

<p>The only science major I could honestly recommend would be computer science. Most of the natural and physical sciences have absolutely abominable employment prospects.</p>

<p>Actually, this is not true. Physics and Applied Mathematics (it is often found in Colleges of Science) have relatively good job prospects in many different industries. Granted a physics major may not be doing physics as a career but jobs are there.</p>
