Basically put, my dream job is to become a MD but I haven’t told anyone because I’m a little embarrassed. I honestly really love science and helping people. Where I am from though most people go to school to become businessmen, layers, or politicians anything out side of that box is cast aside. I go to a top high school in my state (Ranked in the top 10). I have always been an out of the box thinker and would like to put that to good use rather then for money. I don’t really know good colleges to go to or paths to take. I didn’t really care all that much in high school and pulled an UW of 2.6 GPA with some AP classes in the mix. This is simply because I had little drive to do well. I didn’t really understand the implications of this until senior year (This year). I did well on both my ACT (composite: 29) and SAT (Math: 630 Reading: 590), so I’m not stupid. I so far have gotten accepted into Miami Oxford in Ohio and DePaul in Chicago (there buissness school with little/no scholarship because my GPA). Any suggestions on schools/advice would be much appreciated. A good school to get on track, stays on track, and gets me to think out side of the box would be awesome. Also I would ask my guidance consoler but she isn’t the kindest person in the world… I’m also a white male if that changes anything. I know I can make it there, I just need some suggestion on the best course to take. :)
