College and Microbiology/Biology? Long question?
I’ve always been interested in the biological field, and I would love to go into Virology. I’ve kept it loose- not really setting my goals on any one thing yet, but that’s my goal, if it will work. I’ve kept it out of my mind- but now I’m four days away from the summer before my Jr. year in high school, and I think I need to start to think. Yes, I will talk to my counselor, but she’s only one person. So, if you can answer ANY of these, please do! Thanks in advance!
1) What is a good salary? I would plan on living in a smaller city or rural area, but obviously I would go where my job takes me. I would plan on living in the US, most likely Midwest. I wouldn’t nessacarily need a huge, fancy house, nor a nice car- I currently ride horses, Eventing. I would love to continue this. I would need to allow, to be safe, I’m guessing about 8,000/yr for this.It would be cheaper if I had a house in the country and could keep the horse at home. But I also realize it is very unlikely I will be riding again until I am settled in my job, so who knows? From what I have found, Virologists earn $30-$100,000+, with $53,000 being the norm. Would this be enough to live confortably where I would like to and have leftover for horses?
2) I would plan on getting my undergrad in Biology or Microbiology. I’m just wondering (Yes, I don’t know all of the ins and outs of it, I’m sorry if I mess up terminology) if I should consider, when it comes to majors, either doing a double major or minoring in a buisness thing? I want to do something I enjoy, yes. But I also want to be making enough money to do what I enjoy (Riding) and live confortably. I don’t know, but it seems like buisiness and financial fields make much more money.
3) If I was to pursue a career in the biological field, say virology, what high school GPA and SAT/ACT scores would I be needing? I currently have a 10.000 GPA on a 12 pt scale, although that may change (Not done yet with this year) We are on the block schedule, so we have 4 classes a day. Freshman year: Enriched (Like smart people) English, Enriched General Science, American Ex (Req.), Spanish I, Algebra, Geometry, Art I, PE (req.). Sophmore year (So far): Higher Algebra, Enriched English 10, Biology (req), Intro to Dance, Health 10 and PE 10 (Req), American History, Word Processing. Right now I am taking Enriched English (It’s a semester course) American History (Again, semester course), Biotechnology, and Trig. I’m doing ok- Currently I have As (Solid, +, or -) in everything BUT Trig, which will hopefully be a B. My class rank is about the 28th percentile- however, I really hope Colleges will not count Class rank too highly. My high school is an "Arts Magnet" school- we have a bunch of arts classes and bring in a bunch of kids from the cities who want to take them. We have classes like sewing, Painting I-III, (Same with drawing, dance, and ceramics) and all of the Arts Magnet kids’ classes are "Arts Infused"- and very easy. (AI Chem- they get to use notes always, and one of their common assignments was "Draw your scientist’s evil nemisis and tell what they would do" ) However, my school doesn’t weight grades. So the kid taking AP Calculus who got a B is equal with the kid who got a B in Intro to Dance (We flounced about. Really.) Anyways. Next year I am taking Physics, Chemistry, CIS (College in Schools- it’s for College and H.S credit) Phychology, CIS Intro to Lit, CIS Human Anatomy I and II, Pre-Calc, Equine Science, College and Career Prep, and World Cultures (Req.). I was going to take AP Biology but they cancelled it. I plan on doing PSEO my Sr. year. I took the PLAN test and got a 28-32 estimated score for the ACT, and I hear that it is, for the most part, accurate. In the state writing test freshman year, I got a 5.5- 3 is a pass, 6 is the maximum you can earn. I am not part of any school sport or organization, but I am VERY active in the USPC and our local foxhunting group. I have a job. The only reason I am not active in school activities is that I simply cannot donate the time I would have to- My school is considering offering an equestrian team (And recognizing it for lettering) and, if they did, I would join that. (I could simply because most of the reason I don’t have enough time is because I have to ride/ do USPC stuff) Do you think I am on the right track? What do I need to improve/add on?
4) Kinda off topic. Only slightly. I have been looking at state schools because of price. But I have heard that many private schools are not as expensive as sticker price because of the grants/aid you can get from them. However, many private colleges are affiliated with a certain religion- and so, obviously, they would like kids of their religion and reward (When deciding who gets grants) those very active in their religion. I count myself as Agnostic. Will this hurt my chances at these colleges? It’s not that I worry about being uncomfortable with people of a certain religion- I’m from the "You beli
Actually, alot of this is moot at this point, because to be a virologist you will pretty much need a PhD–so that is so far down the road that salary is unknown. Your bachelors can really be from anywhere relatively decent (many state schools are really fine–put that money towards grad school) as grad school is what is going to make you a virologist. Any major in science will be fine. Everything you are doing now is to get into an undergrad program; a PhD program will not care about all your high school activities. To be a virologist you are more than likely going to have to get employed by the CDC or a university so you will not have the complete choice of where to live–but this is so far away–who knows at that point?? Your focus may be quite different by that time
Good luck

For 4, many private institutions are only loosely associated with a religion. They welcome students of all types. I interned at Catholic University of America one summer and did not meet a single Catholic person there (if I did, they were not over the top and in my face, trying to convert me). Don’t assume just because a school has a religion associated with it means anything. Also, there are a number of private universities that are not tied to any religion.
