Well--first of all, relax. As a sophomore you are worrying way too much about college. Also (this is not a critixism, its a compliment) you are interested in a number of fields--but haven't settled on exactly what you want. That is GOOD--it means you are exploirng different ideas and find out what's right for you--not locking yourself into a premature decision.

Getting into a good school:

First: Focus on your school work. On a top ten list of things you need to do--that is #1 thrugh 10. Good grades will open doors for you--bad gradees will close doors.

Second: DO NOT neglect your courses in English and Math--these are more important than any others that you take. Poor grades or failure to take college prep classes in these classes (preferably AP classes) will not only hurt your chances of getting in, you will not be adequately prepared to do the work.

Three--Do not get sucked into the hype about "how competitive" getting into college is. If you have a good high school record, you can get into a good school. the "competition" so callled is really only among a few people who are focused on a school's name vaule (e.g. Harvard or Yale)--and nothing else. But the reality is tha tyou can get an excelllant education at many univeristies--and outside of that status competition that surrounds a nandful of schools, collleges are more likely to compete for your attention thanthe other way around--if you have the grades.

Fourth--there's plenty of information online when the time comes to acutally apply. The main things you'll need to look for are thecollege admissions web pages (including application forms, etc.) and e-mail contacts for asking questions. they can walk you through the aplications process--as can the counsellors at your school.

Finally--you are in high school--don't get too serious. This is a special time--so take some time off and enjoy these years! Good luck! :)

A guidance counselor, hs college counselor, or academic counselor would better help you with your questions You can also visit the websites and look up the requirements to get into each school. You can shoot me a personal e-mail, and i can help you.
You only need a HS diploma to be a Realtor, photographer, actress or wedding planner.

You should be in a college prep program in high school - lots of English, algebra, trig, calculus, biology, chemistry etc. Talk to the counselor at your school and get some ideas. You are running out of time. If you want to get into a good school you better have good grades like mostly A's and a few B's.
