What are the best colleges with medical programs? (Taking into account affordability, uniqueness, everything else)
I plan on becoming a medical scientist (or biomedical). I've taken honors biology and honors chemistry and science is my best subject. I plan on majoring in bio.
What types of programs should I learn if I want to be a chemical engineer?
Aloha, My name is Kyrstin D. , I'm a college student working on a Chemistry BS major, and I want to be a chemical engineer. I'm currently working as an administrative assistant at an electrical engineering company, and I was wondering if any of the programs used at my company would be good for me to get acquainted with -- for, both, giving me more insight into how it is to be a chemical engineer and allowing me to have a more stand-out portfolio when I'm applying to be a Chemical Engineering grad student. Thank you so much for providing the time to answer my question, and I hope everyone is safe and well during these times. #chemical-engineering #chemical-engineer #engineering #engineer #chemistry

What are some good career paths for people that like chemistry?
What career paths are good options for people who like chemistry and are good at solving problems?
What classes t take or neuroscience / biomedical enginnering major ?
I am 16, currently in 10th grade. I have selected AP Micro, AP Stats, and AP Seminar for my 11th-grade year, and I have chosen Environmental Science as a science class. I had planned to take a business major but I am also conflicted as I want to take a neuroscience or biomedical engineering major as well. I have only previously taken biology and physics for my science classes and I am afraid I won't be qualified for these majors since I haven't taken enough science classes yet (such as Chemistry) and I'm already in my third year of highschool. Even so, I wouldn't be able to take AP Chem or AP Bio since I don't have chemistry as a prerequisite. Should I keep my 11th-grade classes the same or should I switch some/all of them out? What should I take in 12th grade? I also want to have AP Micro as an option in case of a back-up plan if I need to resort back to taking a Business major.
Is college generally more laid back than high school?
I've heard that college is a lot less stressful and 'fast-paced' in comparison to high school. Is this true?
Is it better to major in general chemistry or major in a more specific part of chemistry?
An example of a more specific major would be chemical engineering or organic chemistry.
What are some tips for getting research opportunities while an undergraduate?
I'm currently a high-school senior who will be starting college in the fall of 2017 and I hope to be involved in research at my university as soon as possible, but I'm not sure how best to go about doing that. #college #science #biology #research #chemistry #physics
How do I become a pharmaceutical scientist?
I would like to know what education path to take. I'm currently on the path to getting a Biology degree for my undergraduate.
What does it take to become a Scientist?
This is another kind of career I'd like to study one day. If I want to become a Scientist for my future, what do I need to learn? Like what degree do I need? Or where could be a perfect college? Because I'm planning to learn about some Chemistry, Anatomy, and mostly Technology Science. #science #chemistry #anatomy #technology #career
Procrastination ways to deal with it
1. How does a person stay consistent with anything?
If you want to be a dentist would it be better to go into a physical science major(like chemistry) or go into pre-dental for undergraduate?
I want to be a dentist, but I do not know which major would benefit me more. #college-major #chemistry #dentistry #dentist #dental #pre-dental
What education requirements, college degrees, licenses are needed for your career as a Forensic Toxicologist?

What branch of Chemistry should I specialize in and what jobs are available for each?
I love Chemistry and I know I want to major in it, but I don't know what branch I want to go into specifically. I know there's analytical chemistry, biochemistry, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry. What kinds of jobs do each of these branches include and which branches will have the most job opportunities in the future? Thank you in advance!
Freshman taking Physical Science, and i can't take biology this year. I want to do AP Bio my senior year but do Physics, Chemistry, and biology too.
I tried to sign up for Bio, but during that time I was misplaced into pre-algebra, so I was denied. Now, I'm in Algebra 1 and Physical Science CP. I tried to switch, but she said I couldn't since it's a year-long course. I'm planning on doing a major in bio-med, but I need to finish biology, physics, and chemistry. How can I do all of those and do AP Bio? I feel if I did AP bio it would look better in college applications and I would get more experience from that. Would it be better if I did it during the summer?
What careers should I look into if I'm interested in chemistry especially forensic chemistry?
I've been interested in chemistry since I was a little kid because it gives me insight as to how the world really works on the molecular level. I like forensic because I get to solve challenging problems. Science and math are my best subjects at school and I enjoy tasks that require critical thinking. I want to be challenged and my work to make a positive impact.
What would the best collages be to get into molecular biology/pathologist? How would you write a collage essay and an application?
So, I am interested in joining the medical field of Pathology or as a molecular biologist. I need some ideas for colleges and how to prepare for essays and applications.
How recommended is it to take AP Chemistry in high school?
I want to pursue a career in the medical field (specifically psychology, pediatrics, neurology, or psychiatry), but I also want to take many elective courses that I will enjoy in high school. For that, I won't have room in my schedule to take AP Chem, since it takes up two periods. I am also worried about the workload and the difficulty of the course, since I've heard it's one of the hardest AP courses to take. However, how much will taking it help build a foundation of knowledge for taking the MCAT? If it is enough, I may consider taking it.
