Do I need a "spike" in my interests for college applications?
I see a lot of advice that students should have a spike in their applications to demonstrate interests and clear focus/passion. If they want to go into computer science they should do mainly computer science related classes and extracurriculars. I want to go into biomedical engineering so I am in engineering club, doctors without borders, and science honor society. However, I am also interested in public speaking so I do mock trial, TV production, and speech and debate, but I don't plan on pursuing that as my major in college. Will this negatively affect my college applications? If it does, what should I do from here?

How to prepare for a bioengineering major?
I'm a senior in high school who is interested in majoring in biomedical engineering. I attend an art school that is a little low on resources for students interested in STEM. I have taken all the math and science offered by my school but still don't really prepared for college level math and science. What are some ways I can prepare or catch up late in high school or early in college? #biomedical-engineering #college-advice #stem #stem-education #stemcareers #bioengineering #biomedical #college #college-major

STEM Questions and Concerns
Since engineering is such a broad field of study, how would you find the type of engineering for you? #engineering #stem #stem-education
Is it better to apply to a specific engineering major and later switch or start as general engineer major and move to a more specific field of study?
I am trying to fill out college applications and am uncertain in what I should enter as my major choice. Is there a specific advantage in choosing one path over the other? My goal is not to see how much debt I collect, but to use college as a useful tool to become successful in life. I feel that this decision plays a huge role in making my college experience productive. #engineering #science #mathematics #stem-education
How do you know if becoming an engineer is the right career field? What signs give assurance?
I am truly in love with math and science. Both of these topics come natural to me and I would like to pursue a career that uses both of these areas. I feel that engineering encompasses these two things, but I am unsure if it is right for me. My mom is an electrical engineer for both Consumers Energy and the military. When I asked her when she knew she wanted to be an engineer, she gave me a specific moment. I just want to know if and what this moment will be for me. #college #engineering #college-bound #stem-education #decision-making #signs #undecided
