<p>Background- I do want to go into an eye care field preferably ophthalmology basically b/c im interested in vision, vision care, and a big part is how it works.</p>

<p>So what kind of colleges should i be shooting for and what classes. Im in 9th grade and my current grades are</p>

<p>Ap gov -B
Hon English-A
Spanish 2A- A
Gym- A
Hon Geometry-A
Hon Physics-A
Ceramics-A</p>

<p>Im in a program my school does called APPS that requires to do 1 ap freshmen year, 1-2 aps soph, junior and senior year depends on us but we have to finish with at least 6 aps completed. A minimum of 3 honors are also required for all 4 years. As for electives I plan on doing indoor and spring track all 4 years and I’m already starting LEOs club(volunteer work basically). I also plan to do National Science Honor Society in junior year if i qualify. Anything that I should tweak/fix/focus on. Also any tips for my high school years in general and what colleges I should be aiming for? If it means anything I’m 14, african american, and female and I live in Maryland.</p>

<p>Since Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that deals with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye (Wikipedia) I would take AP/Honors Biology and AP/Honors Chemistry and if your school offers Anatomy or Physiology take it. I’m not sure about colleges in Maryland because I live in California but obviously aim for Medical Based Colleges.</p>
