Hi, I'm a sophomore in high school as well and I want to either be a psychologist or a psychiatrist. My overall average for freshman year was a 92.46% and the first semester of sophomore year is a 92.90%. I take many electives, almost all my classes are honors classes, and am involved with a few after school programs as well. I would truly prefer to be a psychiatrist, but if that isn't realistic then I'd still want to be involved in that field some how, then psychology it is. I have taken earth science, honors biology, honors chemistry, honors algebra, honors geometry, and regents trigonometry / algebra II, along with english 9R and honors english 10. Next year I'm debating between AP Biology, Physics, and AP Environmental Science. From reading the posts prior to this, it apparently doesn't matter what I take? My parents aren't very supportive of me and tell me I'm going to fail at everything I do, so I don't really think asking them for help on this would be beneficial to my future goals. Any advice on what I should do?
Also, a side note, the college I would prefer to attend would be University at Buffalo. I'm not sure if that makes an impact on any advice you could offer.
