Hello. I am currently a junior in high school weighing out my options. On my ACT recently, I received a 26 composite: 28 english, 28 math, 23 reading (:p) and a 25 science. With a GPA of a 4 without a weight, my options could be fairly open. I am willing to learn and enjoy science and math. Also, I would like to minor in Spanish if I am allowed. Here are my choices:

1. Pharmacy~ Use the Dual Acceptance route with a 2 year undergrad and a 4 year grad, granted I am accepted.

2. Pharmacology~ Does anyone out there know much about this field? I am willing to learn more.

3. Engineering~ NO IDEA which part yet. I love math and science which opened my eyes to the field of medicine and recently, engineering.
If you know anything about these fields such as their job opportunities or if I could get accepted, it would be greatly appreciated! Also, would volunteering weekly look good? My senior year schedule is AP Chem, pre-calc and trig honors, spanish three honors, english four college writing, and AP psychology.
