<p>I'm currently a high school freshman and want to be a surgeon when I'm older. Any university suggestions that are could for people who want to go into the medical field and want to be a surgeon. Also I have no idea what field I want to go into now.</p>
<p>The undergrad college you attend has absolutely nothing to do with what your eventual medical specialty will be.</p>
<p>For that matter, the medical school you attend has absolutely no influence on your eventual medical specialty. </p>
<p>Neither does your undergraduate major.</p>
<p>Surgery requires good med school grades, a certain level of USMLE scores, strong recommendations from your surgery praeceptors during your clinical rotations (clerkships), surgical research during medical school, plus the requisite technical skills.</p>
<p>So there is absolutely nothing you can do right now to improve your chances of becoming a surgeon.</p>
<p>For now, concentrate on doing well in your science and math coursework.</p>
<p>What ^ said- right on the nose!</p>
