How do I get into an Ivy League college?
I'm moving in with my dad because my mom and her boyfriend don't have any room for me. The school where my dad lives is terrible. It's in the bottom 20 schools based on academics in my state. I'm not a rich person who was sent to a prep school. My mom is a nurse and my dad is a janitor. I told my dad that my dream school is Dartmouth and my dream is to become a neurosurgeon. After telling my dad this he laughed in my face. It hurt. He reccomended the local community college. But this just gives me more motivation to prove everyone wrong. I've never gotten a grade below a C+ and I get mostly A's. The problem is Ive never been in an after school activity. Instead I stay home and help my mom raise my brothers and sisters and recently they found she has a tumor on her spine. So it has been very hard for her. I've risked my social life (not a big deal for me) so that I make sure she has help and that my brothers and sisters are ok. I'm a junior and this summer I'm planning to go to a future physicians school in Princeton for a few weeks, but what else can I do. I have been studying for the ACTs. But it's not enough. I just need a little guidance. Thanks #college #doctor #neurosurgeon #dartmouth #medicine #hospital-and-health-care

How to become a Neurosurgeon?
Okay so I have a question or multiple. I am very uneducated about all of this. I am already taking college classes now. Is there anyway I could just go straight into medical school? What is residency? If it is what I am thinking is there anyway to do reisdency in another state or do you have to stay where you were going to school and do reisdency in the same state you attended college at? What classes do you take to become a neurosurgeon? If you need I can tell you what I am taking now, and what I need to take. I am taking advantage of this oppurtunity I have in getting a head start on college while still in high school. I am just confused about all of this. I feel very dumb about this. I plan on getting the best education I can get, and I want to be in and out of college as quick as I can. I want to know if I can do medical school, and college at the same time. What residency is, and if you still have to attend college while doing that. What classes you have to have to become a Neurosurgeon. Finally, any other things I have to do to show I am dedicated to helping others, and really wanting to finish this career path as soon as possible. #medicine #surgery #neuroscience #neurology #neurosurgeon
