Question Hello,
I was wondering what colleges would be good for me. I want to major in medical technology or pharmacy. I will be a senior this year. I have a 3.6 GPA and am in the top 10% of my class. However, I am very shy and as a result have not participated in a lot of extracurricular activities. I did volunteer at my church in 9th grade and I participated in the Chemistry Olimpiad. What are your suggestions about where I should apply?
Thanks.
Answer Hi Diana,
A couple of questions for you - are you interested in a particular area of the country for college?
With regard to your possible majors, which is of more interest to you, pharmacy or med tech?
Have you done any kind of career shadowing or read up on these careers to help you zero in on them as possible vocations?
