<p>I need help figuring this out.</p>
<p>Start saving up a lot of money.</p>
<p>Study, take and enjoy sciences, including discecting things, and volunteer in a hospital. And saving a lot of money is a good idea too.</p>
<p>Parent here of daughter applying to med school this cycle. </p>
<p>High school has nothing to do with med school. Nothing you do in HS will be listed on your AMCAS application. </p>
<p>While having a strong background in science is necessary for the medical profession, you can major in anything in college to get into med school. I suggest you read the pre-med forum here on cc. [Pre-Med</a> Topics - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pre-med-topics/]Pre-Med”>Pre-Med Topics - College Confidential Forums) You will find good answers there from physicians, current med school students, pre-med undergrads as well as parents of all of those.</p>
<p>Ok, im taking the most advanced classes my schools allows, all honors (im a rising 9th grader). I also am taking spanish ll and will take that class until spanish lV. I have never made anything less than a A. I also play football(jv) and i wrestle(varsity). I think my grades are good enough to get into a undergrauated school and then into a medical school. One thing that i am worried about is extra curriculars and volunteering. Im not sure how to get started in these. I have been thinking about talking to my parents about letting me volunteer at a hospital, probably at duke or unc since i live in north carolina. I have also been thinking about talking to my parents about doing a religious mission trip to a country like africa or something like that. I hope to get into a school like UNC or another school that has a good pre med course. But do you have any suggestions about volunteer work that or extra curriculars that i could do?</p>
<p>If your school offers anatomy and/or AP Bio as well as other AP sciences, you should definitely plan on taking some/most of them.</p>
<p>Im taking honors biology this year as a freshman, my 8th grade science teacher wanted me to take this and i will take AP environmental/earth sciences next year as a sophmore. I also think that our school does offer an anatomy class.</p>
