No extra currics.
I got into a nice state school but couldn't afford it (I got 20K but still came short by 10-15K). Now I am at a Community College. I am taking Bio 102/Pre Calc/Engl 101/Speech 101. I want to finish my 2 year Associates in Biology and transfer out. Can I transfer to any school or just schools that have articulation agreements? My biggest concern in getting into a college is the cost, I'm trying to find colleges that are generous in financial aid (Small/Large private liberal arts colleges) but getting in is a bit harder.
Before going to CC, I took AP Bio/US Gov/Psych and got a 3/3/4 respectively. If I transfer out to a school that requires a 4+ in a test will I be given credit at all? For example a 3 in bio let me skip 100/101 and get into 102. If I transfer out to let's say Bucknell, will they give me credit for 100/101 even though I skipped via AP but my AP score does not match their requirement, AND what about all the subsequent classes I'll have taken with that lower AP score (Bio 102 and higher)?
I didn't do ANY extra currics in high school, should I be doing them in CC? I only ask because the extra currics here are "useless" (Philosophy club, student environment agency, democratic nation, anime club, etc). There is a Phi Theta Kappa but that's invite only and it's my first semester.
I am interested in getting into med school and a lot of people have said that for extra currics I should do volunteer/shadow/research/internships as extra currics. How can I get involved in these? Also, I know I need to take MCATs, when should I start studying for these?
