What should I do if I have two different passions I heard that to get into competitive colleges you needed to show a spike on your resume like a specific passion you pursued. The issue is I have two science/biology and creative writing. I have always wanted to go to NYU, or Vanderbilt but both of those are competitive schools and I’m not sure how to connect these two passions? ?

I’m lost on what extracurricular activities are, but I’ve done some research and it talks about volunteering?

How do I know if pursuing medical school is right for me?

I’m a sophomore in high school, and I’m beginning dual enrollment classes. I’m trying to figure out what I’d like to do in the future so I can gear my electives towards that. I have an interest in medicine, specifically surgery, and I think I could be good in it, but I’m just not sure if I’m ready for the commitment.

Which major is more beneficial if I want to be a neurologist, biology or health sciences?

I'm currently a senior in high school and I plan on doing community college with a 4 year college partnership after high school and the college I am interested in doing the partnership with offers either biology or health sciences for a bachelor in pre-med. After doing my 2 years at the community college (with the partnership) I plan on transferring to a 4 year college and getting a doctorate. So I just was wondering which area would be more beneficial if I want to go into the neuroscience field.

What are some solid extracurriculars for medical?

I am currently a sophomore in highschool and I am wondering what are some solid extracurriculars that revolve around medical? I am currently in the IB programme and trying to maintain high grades, but I don’t think my grades solely will be able to get me into a good university. Another question is would it be better to focus on my grades and try to get them to near perfect with simple extracurriculars? Or should I maintain the grades I have now and add unique extracurriculars?

How should I plan out my college path if I want to be a dermatologist?

I am starting to plan for college and I don’t really know where to start. I’m not sure what I should study for my bachelors degree and or what type of schools to go to in order to start my college path. Also, I keep hearing different things when it comes to how med school for dermatology would work which isn’t making this easier.
