Besides taking chemistry, take lots of math classes and other sciences as well. Taking them on the AP level will definitely help. As far as good schools, US News says the best for chemical engineering are: \n1. Massachusetts Inst. of Technology\n2. University of California–Berkeley \n3. Univ. of Minnesota–Twin Cities \n\nCheck out http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/engineering/phd/enps03_brief.php\nhttp://experts.about.com/q/Careers-Chemistry-1498/Good-Chemistry-Schools.htm

Are you a high school student looking at schools?  Are you exploring the sciences to see if you would like to be a scientist?  \nIf you want to get into a 4 year school, it is usually a better idea to take your first two years at a Community College.  This way, you are given the opportunity to raise your GPA (if low) and a Community College is usually less expensive than a 4 year College. \n \nAlso, there are alternate schools throughout the country that offer Accredited Degrees that are equivalent to the degrees offered at traditional colleges (Certified by organizations such as the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools).  These schools are very focused in their degree programs and they don't offer a lot of the liberal arts classes that traditional colleges offer in their first two years (cost savings and no waste of time learning something you don't need).  Going to one of these alternate schools will give you the opportunity to learn from instructors who have actually worked in the field that you are studying.  This is important as you learn from experience, not someone who just went to a school, received a degree and started teaching.  \n\nAs a Degree, Astronomy will require you to take quite a bit of Math and Physics.  The Astronomers who I know, all have double majors in Chemistry or Physics.... as well as Astronomy.  A few of them have advanced degrees (Master of Science, PhD, etc. )  \n\nI would recommend exploring the alternate schools more.  You'll learn more, save money, and the alternate schools are very good at finding you a job when you graduate.  Traditional Colleges have very poor job placement departments.  \n\nScience is a very rewarding vocation.  Good Luck!

There are many wonderful schools in GA. I have attended, or have family that have attended, a few. I got my A.S. from Gordon College in Barnesville, GA. It is one of the top two-year schools in the state. I got my B.S. in Chemistry from the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, GA. It is a small (a little over 10K students) four-year school with an excellent reputation. The campus is nice, and tuition is pretty reasonable. I have family members who have attended Young Harris (2 year school) and Piedmont (both private, so expensive, but good schools). I have family members who have attended North Georgia College in Dahlonega (military), Clayton State in Clayton County (Jonesboro??). Both of those schools have good reputations, and my family members were satisfied with the quality of their education. Of course, there are the BIG schools, UGA in Athens and GA Tech in Atlanta. Georgia Southern also has a good reputation. Two small schools that also have excellent reputations are Shorter College and Berry College. Berry is in Rome, and I think Shorter is also located near Rome (I'm not sure.) Hope this helps some. Good luck. Georgia is a fine place to live and to attend school. :-)

There are a lot of good schools in your field and you don't have to go to "the best" to get a good education.  It's more about what YOU do with what you're given.  Good luck!

U. Chicago\nNorthwestern\nMichigan\n\nThese are great schools that are nationally respected.  UC doesn't offer an undergrad business degree, but their economics program is one of the top 5 in the world.

you dont really need to know chemistry but they just look for the amount of subjests you have. if u dont like chem, them study something else. generally you will need 5 subjects at A level to get into university. have fun. I did mine by self study from the University of London.

probably cornell, in both categories.  penn also has a high (relative) admit rate, but it's bigger.  fewer people apply to cornell because it has less name recognition and it's in the middle of nowhere.

i know UIC and Northwetern U are good. also CalTech, Purdue, UIUC, MIT and of course Carnegie Mellon.

There are four-year colleges that are completely free in the States, I just don't remember which ones.  I know, that's not helpful, but they do exist.

I would strongly consider JMU (James Madison University), were I you.  Really quite a decent school and a place really known for turning out (good) teachers.\n\nAnother poster mentioned Virginia.  Its a wonderful school, don't get me wrong, but the structure of their education program is a bit odd.  Students take a regular academic major, generally from Arts & Sciences, and take education courses that lead ultimately to an undergrad degree and Master of Teaching.  Thus, a student graduates in 5 years with a bachelor's and a master's degree.  Its a great system if you want to teach high school: UVa trained history teachers actually know history, chemistry teachers chemistry, and so on.  It doesn't seem to lend itself so naturally to younger kids, or so it seems to me.  \n\nThese things being said, good luck!

Well it definitely depends on what fields you like. But as a general advice, I'd recommend you to go to the US NEWS website (address below) and see the college rankings for different colleges and universities. \n\nI also can recommend my current University: University of Illinois! (If you want to study engineering, it's one of the best places in the country)

4 years of undergraduate college. 4 years of pharmacy school aftewards. The pharmacy school is going to be harder than the undergrad in college. If you have already finished college and are looking to become a pharmacist, then you may need to go back to college and take a few courses first. Most pharmacy schools will require that certain science courses (like chemistry) are taken in college. You will also need to take a standardized test (like how the SATs were) for pharmacy school called the PCAT. whether its hard or not..... almost everyone who gets into pharmacy school, stays in for the 4 years and graduates. Its difficult to 'fail' out, b/c most everyone puts in a lot of time studying and working hard, and therefore naturally will do well. The concepts arent that hard to grasp, its just theres always a lot of information being taught in a short amount of time.  I hope you have a good memory.

Petersons (the folks who publish college guides) has a web site listing "top cooking and restaurant management schools in the United States and around the world" at \nhttp://www.petersons.com/culinary/

What and where you study in undergrad is not as important in getting into law school as you may think.  Go to a good university that you like and do your best.  When you apply, they do look at your GPA relative to the school (for example, a lower GPA at UCLA will be just as acceptable as a higher GPA at Cal State LA).  And if you do well at a higher ranked undergrad, it looks great.  Just make sure you are happy with your undergraduate school and major, because in four years you may not even want to go to law school.\n\nBasically, find a school in CO that you like and has a good reputation, where you think you will be happy.  Then do your best and enjoy yourself.  Don't worry too much about that law school admission committee for at least 2 more years.
