Question
When I apply to college, what should be my major?  If I rank 15 out of my class and have a 3.7 GPA is that good?  Is the scores on the  Graduation Test important?

Answer
You can major in anything you like as long as you take the required prerequisite courses for medical school. When you're talking about you rank and GPA, are you referring to high school or college? If high school, that is very good for getting into college. In college, you don't get ranked that way but a 3.7 is excellent for college. I never heard of a graduation test so it is not important for medical school or college.
