Okay everyone, so if you read this member's other post some things will become more clear:
Hey everyone , I am a US permenant resident and want to move there next year, but got couple of problems, first is that next year I am going to be in 12th grade and I don't have a high school diploma because I moved each year to another country through high school.. My dream is to be a doctor or a podiatrist (80% of my family are doctors so I am completely serious). I cant attend my senior year in high school in the US because its too late, so I need to get a GED at a community college. I did a research about it, and it says that it's almost impossible to get accepted to pre med or even a 4 year college with a GED. What is your opinion about my situation? I got no counsler and all my family who are doctors studied abroad but I want to study in the US.
OP:
1) Not living in US
2) High school aged
3) You can take this person completely seriously because 80% of his/her family are doctors, so that means no more discussion about how serious he/she is
My advice to the original poster:
1. Explore whether it's an option to finish traditional US high school. If you're <18 years old, this is worth looking into.
2. Either way, try to get into the best college you can. If that's Harvard, great, if it's Community College, that's okay too.
3. Study lots of things. See the world. Travel. Fall in love. Consider arts, science, engineering, etc. Maybe you would be happiest as a teacher, a philosopher, a hobo wanderer, a politician, a librarian, a tax attorney, a cook, a stay-at-home-parent.
4. Just because 80% of your family are doctors does not mean you will get into medical or podiatry school. It also doesn't mean you are serious about it. It also doesn't mean you would be a good clinician. And most importantly for you, it
certainly does not mean you would be happy in medicine.
