Seriously, genetic research will explode in the coming decade.

2: If they don't eat then they will become so thin that they become weak, unless they recruit fat soldiers...
3: Regrowing limbs sounds awesome, who said in the "moral ethical line" thread that they wanted to be a science guinea pig?

1: They will end up like me in that I can eat a ton of food per day and not get fat.

That was me, they say they got the know how to regrown limbs, I say chop one off and give me a new one, heck give me three so I'll have four arms. I'll be goro.

Now click on any program that interests you and check out the three links in the catalog information in the middle column, as well as the description on the left. Here's the biology page.
Now in the program requirements PDF, it says: "Biology: In high school take biology, chemistry, and physics (with labs), plus algebra (beginning and intermediate), trigonometry, and geometry. "
That's probably going to be about the same for every science related program in any university. Don't worry if you're out of high school or can't take one of those courses, call up the admissions office for the university and ask about a way around it. Your first year is usually repetition of what you learned in high school, anyway.
Don't let what others tell you stop you from doing what you want to do with your life. If you want to study chemistry, then do it. Just having that degree means something to employers, and it opens up so many doors. You won't get stuck cleaning cages, I promise, that's just people throwing around rumours. People are still taking degrees in philosophy, even with people joking that later down the road, they will be saying, "Why do you want fries with that?"
As for picking colleges. I'd say wherever you go, you're going to get the same education. I picked my university because it was cheap and in my parent's home province. But it could be as simple as you like their campus.
Good luck!

Stupendous ACT/SAT score (I'm talking high 20's-30's score, a bit below that is fine, but colleges will be lining up if you get a 36....or not....but that type of thing looks wonderful).
Chemistry (Especially Honors)
Lots of AP and Honors
Lots of extracurricular activities/other stuff you do (i.e. play the violin/cello? Some competitions can go on your resume)
Essentially, they want interesting people who are intelligent and have good grades.

If you have a strong grasp of physics, all other sciences are easier to understand.
That being said, do whatever the hell you want.
There is a time and place for all scientists.
If you pursue the field that interest you most, regardless of where you end up in that field you should be happy.
It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

Oh you suck so much
I store EVERYTHING
Damn my body for having an efficient storage system!
Good for apocalypses, bad for "civilised society"
Because I can...

They will work with you and help you set up classes. Also don't be worried that you don't know what type of scientist you want to be. If I remember correctly, around 80% of freshman entering college have no idea what they want to be and those that do either change it or discover it. Give it a year or a few months. You'll have time (Also, not sure where you are in college or if in college at all so I threw the freshman thing in there just to show your not the only one!)

Lol. This made me giggle, somehow. I don't want someone who made a 30 on the SAT to be fiddling around with the genetics of men with guns.
But yeah, I got 30’s on my test (except math, it was 24. Stupid math) and they took an interest.

It depends on the school, but it's not uncommon to write an essay or other seemingly irrelevant-for-them-to-take-your-money stuff.Do Americans have to pass in a resume with their college applications? I literally just sent in an application and my transcript and was accepted. They knew nothing outside of my grades. I don't think they care much about anything else here/
