Is there anyone in the Dermatology field available to help me with an Informational Interview project?

I am a junior in high school and I am in a pre college program called Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID). We are currently working on a project which is a 15 minute informational interview where we interview a professional in our dream field of study. During this interview, I will be asking questions to learn about your job and experiences as a Dermatologist. I am interested in majoring in chemistry to later become a Medical Dermatologist after high school. Thank you!

Is it still possible to get into a top 20 school with a 3.8 gpa?

For context in 9th grade I got a 4.0 gpa and for this year I got a 3.6 gpa for semester 1 despite the fact I had a 4 for all my classes except for marketing. I got a 3.2 which is considered an A at my school. But because I enrolled into marketing class late which is not my fault at all my teacher decided to give me 0.25/0.50 credit even though I made up the past work. My counselor decided to change my class before the end of the semester which I was so confused about and I wasn’t allowed to change my class. The way my school calculates gpa is extremely weird and unfair. There’s no way I got a 3.6 gpa for the first semester that doesn’t seem right. I am in 10th grade.

Do you think it is worth doing the IB program to get into a top 20 school?

I selected my classes for next year and chose to do the IB program. I am starting to regret that choice. I would rather do partial IB. Do you think It’ll look bad if I drop out of the IB program to do partial IB? My goal is to get into a top 20 school. Also my school is an IB school so they do not offer AP classes. I am currently in 10th grade.

Is high school honors worth it?

I'm wondering if high school honors matter to empoylers. I already got accepted ED into Northeastern University, so I assume it won't matter to colleges if I didn't get one. I'm planning to drop a math class as I hate math and it just stresses me out. Will Northeastern rescind my application if I drop that math class? I failed the first term of that math class, so I retook it, but will they recind me if I don't finish the second term. Will graduating from high school matter to empoylers at all?

Which classes should I take to prepare myself for a Marketing Degree?

Hello! I'm a 15-year-old student in Belgium in 4th secondary, equivalent to 10th grade in the US. Next year in Belgium, we can customize our schedule. However, I've been having some trouble deciding. I want to pursue a marketing degree. The careers I'm most interested in are Marketing Manager, Advertising and Promotions Manager, and Market Analyst. We have multiple schedule combinations to choose from, and I would appreciate some advice on what to choose to best prepare for a marketing course in university and a job in that field. Whatever I choose, I will have 5h of French, 2h of History, 2h of Geography, 4h of English, 2h of Philosophy, and 2h of PE. The first option is called "Sciences", but I doubt that that would be good for me. It includes 6h of Math, 1h each of Lab and Computer Lab, and 2h each of Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. In the other two options, I will have no Lab and only one hour of each science. The second option is "languages", it includes 4h of German and 4h of Spanish. We can then choose to have either 2h or 4h of Math. If we choose 4h of math, we can then choose to add either 2h of Art or 2h of Psychology/Communication. However, if we choose 2h of Math, we add on an hour of Computer Lab and have the extra choice (along with the two aforementioned electives) of 3h of International Relations. The last choice is called "Mix", and it includes 4h of German and 4h of Math. This option has a lot of freedom around the extra electives. We can choose between: 2h of Art and 2h of Psyc/Communications 2h of Spanish and 2h of International Relations 3h of News and 2h of Psyc/Communications 3h of News and 2h of Art 3h of News and 3h of International Relations I think the most major decision in my opinion is 2h or 4h of Math. In marketing, is math an extreme part of it? Math is very important for it, but is it essential to do more math earlier in life to take that path? There are also differences in what is taught in 2h and 4h of Math. It hasn't been explicitly explained by my school, but the khan academy courses for the different options are rather specific. 2h of math includes three chapters: Statistics (Side note: advanced, we've been doing statistics already.), then Sequences (not sure if that's correctly translated), then Growth Models. Here's the link to the course. https://fr.khanacademy.org/math/be-5eme-secondaire2h2 4h of math includes Statistics, Sequences, Trigonometry (Also advanced), Limits, Function Combinations, Derivatives of Functions, Graphed Derivatives, and Application of derivatives. https://fr.khanacademy.org/math/be-5eme-secondaire4h2 I'm not gonna go crazy in depth about the year after, but in 2h we focus on Probability, and in 4h we focus on more functions and primitives. There is also of course the choice of electives. In my unprofessional opinion, I assume that Psyc/Communication would be the best elective, but is there a better one? Would it be good to take Spanish? Would it be better to take News? This is the link to the form including all the possibilities, it is in French, however. https://secondaire.eiverseau.be/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Grille-horaire-D3-2021-724x1024.jpg To anyone who made it this far, thank you for reading and for any advice, it is greatly appreciated.
