I will also be 2017 graduate and I also aim to become a psychologist. What do you think are the most important subjects to study harder at school, maybe some books that would be helpful or anything else? Thanks! Xoxo
Since you’re aiming for psychology I would say to focus on your science classes. if your school offers AP science classes, especially Psych. you should take it so that colleges will see that you’re interested in the field and took an initiative to explore it.
If you don’t mind me asking do you know what field of psychology you would like to study? for general Psych reading college textbooks on intro to Psych is always nice and there’s a lot of that for free online. I do love reading about social psychology and if you have an interest in that you should check out The Social animal by Aronson. I’ve taken a class on lifespan development and enjoyed it and I think the textbook on that gave me the basics on the field pretty well! if you want to know the textbook just message me:)
I hope I helped! and if you have more questions feel free to let me know!
