Do colleges care about your SAT/ACT scores and GPA more than your extracurricular activites?

I am debating if I should do this, but the problem is, I don't know if it is worth getting into with the work hours and dangers. #emergency-medicine #hospital-and-health-care #firefighting #law-enforcement

Why are students pushed to enroll in 4-year colleges right out of high school?

Is it simply a recommendation or is there another underlying reason, as opposed to applying to a community college? #college-selection

Is it true that a person's major/degree doesn't necessarily set one up for a career in that field?

If I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering, for example, but over time find a new branch of engineering that is more appealing, would having that degree be a waste? #mechanical-engineering

I want to see what its like in the daily life of a Medical Social Worker, but I understand that the privacy is important from patient to professional, and personally, I would not want to put my business out there to someone who is barely learning the ropes.

Will my dream career (Medical Social Worker) be enough to get me by financially?

Im not doing it for the money, I genuinely want to help others because I car, but will it be enough to get me, and my future family, by? I dont want to live pay check to pay check, but at the same time, i'm not trying to live a fancy, luxurious life.

I want to major in Nursing, but I also want to be a Psychiatrist. Should I do both?

Nursing is something I have always wanted to do, but I have had very good experience with psychiatrists and I too want to provide the support they give out. I know with nursing you are saving lives, but would it be a bad idea to do a minor on Psychology or into something that can get me there?...

Is there a fair advantage of people that go to lower income schools than others that go to better schools? and also does going to a private high school give you a greater chance to bing better at school than others that go to a public school?

I live in San Leandro in the bay area and my school campus is so old compared to others schools. Other schools have such great campus and a better environment. Also I have great goals I want to achieve and I want to know what is best for me.
