<p>To summarize all of this, I must say I do not meet the expectations/requirements for most of the colleges I wanted to go to. I also must say my grades for the classes taken throughout my high school years are actually unstable, and it is not because I’m lazy, but in fact I have ADHD (and I can explain about this through my college applications). Aside from having ADHD, I do have a lot of motivations for myself. I plan to go to either a medical school or pharmacy school after college. I am currently studying in a pharmacy tech program and will be an intern at a local pharmacy starting next month (and hopefully will become a certified pharmacy tech by the time I turn 18)</p>

<p>I am going to be honest here; I don’t think you realize how hard it is to get into pharmacy or Med School. You’re grades in college are going to have be at or very close to a 4.0. As for the colleges you hope to go to you honestly have a slim to none chance of getting into any of the Texas ones (not familiar with the one cali school). I would honestly reevaluate my goals a little bit if I were you, though if you really want it and study day and night it is possible to meet those goals. On the other hand, if your college grades resemble ANYTHING like your high school grades than you have no chance.</p>

<p>tl;dr I would change my plans if I were you.</p>
