I am a high school Junior at a small municipal school in the outskirts of Houston, Texas. I consider myself a well-rounded and overall good student. I am a Hispanic female and my race fits the native american category way better than the caucasian category (since im brown). I want to go to medical school for sure and be the first in my family to go to university because I’m a first generation American, my family comes from mexico and central america. The thing with being a first generation and first to be able to go to university is that I have no guidance and I need some help making decisions. I can’t decide whether i want to go to Texas A&M University or Texas State University those are the two universities I’ve narrowed it down to. I will need as much financial aid as i can possibly get since my family is lower/middle income. I also can’t decide whether i should major in biology, business, biomedical engineering, or nursing. (i want to be able to do something with my major if i don’t get into medical school)
I play club soccer out of school
Im a varsity soccer player
a varsity cross country runner
I debate and am in debate club
Im in National Art Honor Society
I will soon be inducted into National Honor Society
I’m the VP of Spanish club
Im in HOSA and compete
Im in Student Council
i have 108 volunteer hours from The Womans Hospital of Texas
My GPA is a 3.588 (it dropped from 3.6 since my classes have gotten harder)
Im 18/224 I’m top 10%
I made a 1710 on my SAT (not retaking bc of new SAT)
i take challenging AP, PAP, and dual-credit classes
I have 3 years of foreign Language
I take extra science classes (for fun 
)
Theres more i can’t even think of right now but the point is I’m a good student and i want some guidance on what i should choose as a major. (Btw yes i know business requires more effort but i want something to fall back on and i don’t mind taking summer classes at a CC). Please Help! and thank you if you read it all i know its a lot. :)>-
Happily medical schools don’t care what you major in. 40% of pre-meds are not STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering and Math) majors. So you can study whatever interests you the most. Since you take science classes for fun, sounds like that would be a good direction to go, right? Just know that if you major in bio or chem, you will probably need additional graduate level work to get a job in the field. If you go with biomedical engineering, it can be harder to keep your GPA due to the tradition of grade deflation in engineering generally - but it’s an interesting field. Business is fine as is anything else. (Although if you go with nursing, the med schools will rightly want to know why you are applying.)
I’d also suggest that you branch out a little and consider applying to some women’s colleges (Smith, Bryn Mawr, Barnard) and some liberal arts colleges that would value the diversity that your background would bring and could potentially provide some significant merit money in return. A friend’s daughter with a similar background and stats has had a good experience at Catholic University in Washington DC. Your test scores and GPA might be a bit on the low side for some of these schools, but that’s what holistic review is about - taking in account that someone is first generation, possibly bi-lingual and bi-cultural, etc…If you want some suggestions, CCers will no doubt be able to provide many.
Last suggestion: There is a forum on CC specifically for pre-meds. Go there and read the sticky threads at the top of the page carefully. It will put you ahead of the game. You can access the forum by going to Forum Home on the upper left and, after clicking on it, scroll down until you find the pre-med forum.
Each college has something called a net price calculator on their website (usually on the “affording” or financial aid page). You should run that for each school you are looking at. It will tell you what your possible cost of attendance would be. What is your SAT breakdown?
Unless you have Blood papers proving that you’re a member of an American Indian tribe, you can’t claim that youre American Indian. You can check the Hispanic box.
By American I mean North American not just the United States american. I do have mostly native roots mixed with some Spanish roots I couldn’t get those papers because I don’t live in Mexico and I was born here. But Hispanic isn’t a race it’s an ethnicity. Ethnically I’m Hispanic racially I’m native
why an M.D? Not that I know it is wrong for you, it may be the right fit, but have you actually looked into the medical field and considered the alternatives? From the day you start college it will be 11-15 years before you are a practicing doctor, depending on what field you go into. In other words, think back to 1st grade; all those years since then matches the minimum it will take to become a practicing doc! Furthermore even if you can get financial aid for college, it will be loans for med school; the average debt leaving med school is well over $150K and rising each year.
Its almost a reflex action among HS kids, they think of a career in medicine and its “I’m pre-med!” Doctors are far from the only ones in the health field that help people. Physical therapists, radiology techs, nurses, speech pathologists, to name but just a few. Even hospital administrators can take pride in the care they help make possible.
Unless you’ve considered the alternatives and have spent time actually working in a health care setting its better to think of yourself as interested in exploring a career as a doctor rather than someone who has already made the decision. As a HS junior I suggest you get a volunteer position or job working in a hospital or health-care setting. Eventually having such exposure, BTW, is an unofficial requirement to get into med school.
If you can start this soon it will give you 6 months or more before you start sending off college apps. If you still love medicine as much as you do today and still think being a doctor is right for you, then great! And as a practical matter, either of those colleges (in fact just about any 4-year college) can do a fine job of helping you prepare for med school. And if you decide an MD isn’t right for you then its better to know now than a few years down the road, whether you’d prefer another path into medicine or another career altogether.
