Worried about college :[?

Question

I'm only in 7th grade and I am worried about college. I get pretty good grades and I'm taking 8th grade math and next year I will take high school math but I am worried that I will be too average for a good college. I want to be a plastic surgeon with a good education and I need to get into a good college! What sort of things will they be looking for and are there any tips for things I should do to get noticed by colleges? :]

Answer 1

You're worried WAY too early. You need to learn how to have a balanced life.

To ease your concerns...Get good grades MOST IMPORTANTLY in your math and English courses. Get AT LEAST A 1200 (or even 1300) on your SAT's.

You also MUST do extra-curricular activities. This means a sports team, a club, student government...This is VERY IMPORTANT when it comes to college admissions because they think you're a "well rounded" person.

You must be careful though NOT to let these curricular activities take TOO MUCH time from your studies. They come first.

DESPITE ALL THIS....YOU NEED TO RELAX. You're only young once. STop worrying.

The fact that you're already thinking about college tells me you'll do JUST FINE, and get into any college of your choosing. So relax.

Answer 2

First of all, calm down. You are only in 7th grade- you have plenty of time. In most school districts, 8th graders who get A's in math, science and english can take geometry and biology freshman year. This gives you a good advantage if you can start highschool this way. If you want to be a plastic surgeon, your focus should be science and math, so definately stay on top of those grades and try to reach you highest level. If your highschool offers AP math and science classes, these would be good classes to take to get into a good med school. Just know that being a plastic surgeon takes a minimum of 8 years of college- undergraduate and then grad school. Besides taking challenging classes, volunteer or get an internship at your local hospital or clinic. Colleges like to see extracurriculars, so this would be good to do. Good luck!

Also: (If you are good at a sport, you may want to work hard at it, because if you are good enough, you can get a scholarship or get accepted to a good school based on your athletic ability.)

Answer 3

First of all, take a deep breath and chill out. You are certainly feeling fearful approximately this subsequent step and that is entirely traditional. Trust me, you're going to live to tell the tale. Just ensure to permit humans understand that you want them to be loud and transparent while talking with you. My mother is deaf however has this cochlear implant thingy that is helping her pay attention, however it isn't all that high-quality in noisy environments, so I bet what I'm looking to say is that I appreciate via having discovered my mom. Is there any one that you're well peers with within the institution? Maybe you might request that the 2 of you be approved to paintings aspect by way of aspect? There's regularly a approach to make it paintings :) You would possibly not mess the whole thing up, you are finding out that is all it's, you cannot be punished for finding out. Best of success!

Answer 4

Generally, colleges don't start looking at transcripts until high school starts. To be appealing to colleges make sure your grades are decent, you do extracurriculars, volunteer, and try to do well on the SAT or ACT. Don't worry to much, have fun!! High School is one of the best times of your life, enjoy it.
