What major should I pick for biology?
I'm a high school senior who is interested in genetics, forensics and lab studies, what majors would align with these the most? I have gotten accepted into biology and biotechnology programs but I am also interested in biomedical science, what's the difference?
As a senior in high school who plans to study biomedical sciences on a pre-med track, what should I be doing to prepare for medical school?
I am currently an associate in the Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS), where we get experience through job shadowing and volunteering.
Should I pursue biotechnology in BSc?
Heyy! I’ve always wanted to pursue Biotechnology, but I’ve noticed that many universities don’t offer a BSc specifically in Biotechnology. Instead, they usually offer programs like Biomedical Sciences or Biochemistry. This has left me with two choices: either go for Biotechnology at universities I’m not really interested in, or choose Biochemistry or Biomedical Sciences now and specialize in Biotechnology later during my Master’s. Because of this, I’m genuinely confused. If Biotechnology is such a promising field, why do so many universities not offer it as a main BSc degree?
Which class should I take out of Psych vs A&P?
Hi! I'm a high school student looking to pursue a degree in the Biomedical field (Preferably at some point focusing on nerve/neural tissue engineering) and I'm planning out my senior year classes (way in advance, I know, but I like to be prepared). I only have one available period left, and I have to choose between the two classes i would like to take. Would it be more beneficial in the future for me to take AP Psychology, or Anatomy and Physiology? I would definitely prefer Psych as I've heard A&P can be challenging your senior year, but if A&P is definitely the better option I'll take it for sure! Thanks for the help!

What kinds of career paths are available after getting a degree in biomedical engineering? Are there opportunities for non-research based jobs?
I’m a junior in high school interested in going into biomedical engineering. I love chemistry, math, and biology, and I’m more interested in the practical, hands-on side of science (experiments, things that make a difference in people’s lives).
Question about exposure in the field of biomedical engineering
Hi! I am a sophomore at Poolesville High School (magnet school) who is interested in a biomedical career path (still not certain). I was wondering how I can get more exposure in the field--in terms of lab work, research, hands on work, etc.?
Are online courses worth the time?
I'm going to be doing Bsc Biomedical Science in the fall as a freshman. It's a pretty vast field and it's not known to be very prospective right after an undergrad degree. I am planning to do a post-grad degree but I heard online courses in important fields like business and computer science would give me a little edge, job-wise. Is that true? Will they be considered as serious courses (considering I pay for the certificates of course)?
What are some steps I can take now to become a biomedical engineer?
I'm interested in becoming a biomedical engineer, but not sure where I should start.
Are internships widely avaliable for students who also have a heavy courseload??
I enjoy hands on activities and feel like getting real time experience especially in the medical field would be exponentially helpful, but I don't want to overload myself with hard classes and that responsibility
If I was pursuing a career in research, would data science or computer science provide more value as a supplementary study?

Would Biomedical Science or Animal Science benefit me more for my Veterinary Medicine degree?
I am going to college in the fall and I have the option of a biomedical major or an animal science major. I want to work towards a Veterinary Medicine degree after my undergraduate, so I want to make the right decision. After researching this question I keep getting the response that to apply for Vet Med it doesn't really matter what your undergraduate major is, but honestly I would rather not go into my graduate degree blind. I just want to know which one would benefit me more in my studies that way I already have an idea of what is going on in Vet Med. #veterinary #biomedical-science #animal-science #veterinary-medicine
Is there a profession out there that's an equal balance between creative writing/publishing and biomedical science?
I am torn between majoring in English and Biomedical Science/Engineering. I love to write stories and strive to become an editor for a publishing company/fiction author or screenwriter, but I also love genetics and would love to be a genetic engineer and researcher (see the details from my previous question.) My parents don't want me to pursue an English degree because the profession "isn't that lucrative" and I'd spend a long time working my way to steady earnings, but they also want me to find a job doing what I love. They've suggested technical writing, but I fear that technical writing could also mean less creativity when writing instruction manuals or scientific journal articles. Any suggestions or advice from real-world experiences? #creative-writing #technical-writing #writing #news-writing #editor #writing-and-editing #fiction-writing #science-fiction #creative-non-fiction #fiction #copy-editing #publishing #genetics #biomedical-engineering #biomedical-science #career-path #screenwriting #author #creative-writing #double-major #dual-career #multiple-interests #english #communications #grant-writing #proposal-writing #career-path #career-choice #career-decisions
