I came in America about 3 years ago with NO knowledge of English and started as junior in high school. I couldn't take any science courses in high school because I had to take care of graduation requirements. So I took Biology 1, Chemistry 1, English and Precalc in first year of college.
English B-
Precalc A-
Chemistry 1 B+
Biology D-
My advisor told me that 99% of student taking biology have high school experience in Biology. So my overall GPA in first semester 2.527. The reason for that is my mom was very sick and I had to stay with her in the hospital almost everyday because she doesn't speak English. I am the first one to goto college in my family and first generation in America. So in second semester I took these classes: Chemistry 2, Art Appreciation, Calculus 1 and English 110.
Chemistry 2 C
Calculus1 B
Art Appreciation A-
English 110 A
So overall GPA for second semester is 3.140. And Cumulative GPA 2.833.
So right now I am taking these courses
Organic Chemistry (I am doing really good in it)
Biology 1 (had A in first exam)
Calculus 2 (right now i have 90 overall)
Physics 1 (very easy and had 100 in first exam)
Geography (102 in first exam)
I am currently participating in two clubs. Premed society and Indoor soccer team. I am also going to research next semester. I work part time (20 hrs) in TJ Maxx and volunteering in hospital very very soon.
I really don't know how medical schools in America. My parents don't speak English and I learned to speak English after I got to USA.
What do you guys think I should do for future. Any advice will be awesome.
Thank you very much
