Hi! So I'm currently a junior, and I just went through finals and hooooo boy....They were ROUGH. My GPA got put through the wringer this year due to some of the classes I took, and as a result got a couple of Bs. My GPA is at a 3.86 (which I anticipate will lessen bc of these wack finals), which I know is kind of low considering I would like to attend a UC. However, I also do a lot of volunteer work/lead role in clubs, and I have just scored an internship. But, TLDR: how holistic is holistic review...will I be cooked with a somewhat lower GPA if I have extracurriculars?

Hello, originally I wanted to pursue environmental science as my major, but after taking a peek at Reddit, I'm beginning to understand that this is not, in fact, the move if I want to actually make money and live a somewhat happy life. I still really would like to pursue a career somewhere in the environmental field; however, now I feel lost and kind of scared. I knew that job prospects for environmental work were not the greatest, but I didn't realize just how bad it was. I'm currently a junior in high school, and I still have some time before I have to figure out what majors I want to apply for. I've heard environmental engineering is better than an environmental science degree, but again, I'm unsure. I'm worried because next year I'm taking AP Bio, and I haven't taken a single physics class throughout my time in high school, as I originally presumed I wasn't going to pursue a major that heavily incorporates physics. Does anybody have any recommendations or suggestions? I'm at a loss here, and I'm a little terrified. I want to pursue something related to environmental science, but I don't want to be dead broke and have no job
