What should I do during the summer before my freshman year or during my freshman year of high school to have a strong foundation for college apps?

Hello! Thank you so much to anyone who answers my question(s)! Interested and open to anything. Also, one of the reasons I'm asking because my parent is because my parents are thinking of wanting me to graduate early.

Should I take the SAT or ACT or both? When should I take them?

I'm a rising freshman and I've already completed math classes up to Algebra 2. However, the reading and comprehension part is not my forte. I'm wondering if I should take the SAT/ACT in my freshman year or not, and if I should take both.

For my freshman year, should I take AP Precalc AB or BC? If BC, should I take Multivariable Calc & Lin Alg or just AP Stats for my junior year? If I take AB, that means I will most likely take Calc BC in 11th grade, which doesn't sound too appealing. The idea is if I'm taking BC, I could directly go on to Calc BC for sophomore year, so I could have my 11th grade year easier and just take AP Stats instead. However, I'm just worried it will be too much to handle.

I'm currently a rising freshman and I've taken all previous math classes before.

What are the different places you did your residency and/or fellowship and how did it better prepare you for your Medical Examiner Certification ?

I'm currently a college freshman who wants to be a forensic pathologist. I understand that you don't always get residency in your direct field, so I would like to know some close options that would benefit me and better my knowledge for my career.

Is the process of going to college, med school, residency, etc., worth it, or is a safer career option a better decision financially?

I am a High School Senior, and have always wanted to be a doctor. I am struggling to decide between my state school (UMD), which is much cheaper, and UNC. At UMD, I would study engineering, giving up on my dream of becoming a doctor, while at UNC I would study biology on a pre-med track. #Spring25

I’m a 19-year-old international student in the U.S., currently in my first semester. My major is Business with a concentration in Finance. While I like certain aspects of it, I’m not entirely sure if I want to pursue it long-term. I often feel confused about whether it’s truly the right path for me. My parents, like many traditional and conservative ones, would prefer I pursue a field like medicine. They don’t force me, but I know they hope I’ll follow a path that leads to a stable and respected career. I do like biology, and sometimes I consider nursing, but I’m not sure that it’s the right fit for me either. Right now, I feel passionate about earning a business degree and doing pilot training alongside it. Still, I often question whether that’s the best choice for me or not. I really want to make a clear decision soon so I can plan my next steps without wasting more time. I already feel like I’ve lost some time being unsure, and I don’t want that to continue. ?
