majors and colleges

3 Majors
It is kind of cliche that my asian parents would want me to do something or become someone somewhere in the medical field. But after all, it is not what they want, it is my life, its what I want. However, I do pursue interest in the medical field. But i am also artist. and here are my 3 major choices:

1. Pharmacology- they study drugs and what its made of, its sources, how it effects the body, and how its used to treat medical conditions.

2. Anesthesiologist Assistance- they help doctors and nurses provide anesthesia care to patients before, during, and after surgery.

3.Studio Arts - students get to explore and try out new medias that they might like.


3 Colleges
Santa Barbara, CA
although located in a suburban setting, it has a large number of under grads, a total of 18,892. because it is a big school. Also not too far from the valley.

2. a college that has an Anesthesiologist Assistance major was not found. however I looked up Surgical Technology and RN, and this is the college that I found most interesting:

Loma Linda University

It is well known for its nursing program, and had a small campus of only 1177 under grads, however, here's the catch.. All LLU programs require previous college credit, thus no first-time freshman applicants accepted. Specific programs are applied to rather than generally to the university. So the idea is go to a community college first then transfer?????

3. University of California: Berkeley
is very famous but very hard to get into. I repeat.. VERY HARD!!! applicants admitted: 22% compared to UCLA's 23%. and you think UCLA is hard to get into huh???

well.. it really depends on the major.

There's a lot more that we've not heard of. This website is very useful.
We often limit ourselves to looking at the well known places. But other places may be good too.


Searching for colleges is kind of fun!!

  5. Do what you love Wendy. Medicine can be fun too. Why just the assistant and not the anesthesiologist?
