I am a freshman and I am interested in being a biomedical engineer. I already know some of the classes I need to take to help me hopefully get into Ga Tech. The only problem is i am currently in band and the play the oboe but i don’t know if i should quit band to take a harder class next year or stay in it. In the long run do you think it would look better to be in band all four years of high school or take another AP class instead? Thanks for your time, Sara

Dear Sara, Stay in the band! I am not sure when you will have another chance to play in a band so you should enjoy playing the oboe. I assume you have good grades already and a good SAT/ACT score. So at this point you should just make sure to keep your grades up. You can always take more classes later. I am not familiar with GA tech admissions, but I do know that at USC we appreciate a well rounded future engineer. I am sure most schools will also value your broad interests. Good luck and best wishes, Prof. Hodge
