Answer 1

Colleges look very strongly at your math and science grades to get into a marine biology school. If you do well in those in high school, you should be fine in college. The problem with marine biology is what you do after college. There are not large opportunities, and its not as glamorous as it seems. There usually is a lot of field research, long hot days on the ocean (or if you go out west, cold days for Washington and Alaska), and low-average pay.
