I'd open up multiple savings accounts with different banks. I'd hire a financial advisor. I know the basics of stock and investment but not how to actually do it, so I'd leave it to them.

I'd not touch 900k but for the last 100k, I'd pay off my parents' mortgage and debts and do whatever I wanted with the last 50k or so.

Its Berkeley then UCLA then the rest. If you have to ask that question then you don't have to worry about getting into either school.

And after that its SD, Davis, Irvine, Santa Cruz/Santa Barbara/Riverside, Merced.

I have to ask someone somewhere. I don't know anything about college and answers like yours are the same I always get.

for science, the best route (in addition to having at least an A- avg GPA- at least for Johns Hopkins), is to start research projects as soon as possible. find a professor working on what you want to work on and try to offer your assistance. it's easier if you've taken a class with them and have a great GPA. there are probably courses dedicated to research opportunities (usually with a professor but sometimes you're at the helm) too, my uni has them for every program.

try to publish one or two papers, or co-author with a grad student or prof if you can't do it on your own.find THREE professors working on what you are working on, or something related, get to know them, and then let them know you want to go to grad school.

EDIT: also become a TA asap

Thanks. Would I be better off with a degree in molecular biology or biochem?

I think I'll just take classes my first semester and then look into internships the following one. Just enough to get my feet wet and make an academic reputation.

Gpa(s)?

I just finished at a local cc and now I'm going to West Chester University in southeast PA. It's not a competitive school but it has the lowest acceptance rate (50%) of all the big campuses around except for UPenn. There are some smaller colleges like Swarthmore and Haverford but those are liberal arts schools.

Well, depends on what topics you're on. I think quite a few of us have passed Orgo 1 and 2.

Day one of orgo 1.

What kind of labs do they start with?


Extractions most likely. Do a reaction in water, get two products, you want product A, but need to separate from product B. Mix the mixture with some non-polar solvent that pulls B into it. Stir, mix well then let it settle. Get rid of non-polar solvent. Add it again. Stir, mix well then let it settle. Get rid of non-polar solvent. Boil off water. Collect crystal. Do some test to prove that your crystal is what you thought it was. Explain errors that made your experiment a mess.

I'll youtube some to get an idea. Thanks.
