High School background affecting college performance

<p>Thanks again for all your posts.</p>

<p>I would say his strongest interest lies with animal science and nursing so it’s not that he doesn’t have strong interests, it’s just that it is a bit confusing for him when he is told to avoid some majors because medical schools frown upon majors that interests him the most. This has led him to become more open minded and put a more majors that have a combination of “so-so” with regard to interest but still practical. How strongly does a college major influence medical school admissions?</p>

<p>He’s met with the academic support center and has taken a few tests to match personality with possible alternative careers and majors and it did help a little. It was still broad in a sense but he’s narrowed down his potential majors list quite a bit from doing these tests.</p>

<p>I can’t disagree with the “hundreds of terms” comment by i<em>wanna</em>be_Brown. But as I said in the same post, he felt that a lot of the terminology made no sense to its actual meaning and combining a ton of them - it made it a bit boring for him. He claims sociology had a ton of terms too but it was way easier for him to “catch on” by breaking up words to make him remember the meaning. I have no strong knowledge in medical related terms and psychology but did take medical terminology back in the day and can say I do understand what he means by breaking up the words/terms to define meaning and applying this to remember the definition of each term.</p>
