<p>Hi guys I no I’m young (14) to be thinking about universities but I am really driving and hoping to get into a top American school, when I’m older. I plan to study one of two things:</p>
<li>BioChemistry
2.Medicine- looking to go into pediatrics or psychiatry.</li>
</ol>
<p>My dads old school buddy went to Johns Hopkins, and I’ve spoken to him; from what he has said it seems to me that it is a good idea. But I am wandering if anyone could offer me a second opinion, or any-other schools I should consider? I live in the south-west of England, and therefore will be an international student when applying, so a school which offers good facilities for me will be preferable. Please give me some indication. Thanks.
Yours sincerely

<p>Hey there! If you want my advice, just enjoy the subjects and extracurriculars you're doing. Right now, make sure you get top marks on your GCSEs. Don't stress too much about universities because they're a long way ahead. You don't want to come across as "packaged" applicant if you start too early.</p>
<p>Don't know that many schools that are top for medicine, but I know Washington University in St. Louis is one. It's pretty selective though. I think New York University is another one, but I'm not too sure. Check out UCLA as well for biochemistry.</p>
<p>There are many, many schools in the US that have solid Biochemistry departments. Johns Hopkins is one, but there are a hundred more.</p>
<p>You should also be aware that in the US you do not enroll in medical school right out of high school but usually must earn a university degree first. Many universities (including Johns Hopkins) also have medical schools, but admission into the medical programs is a separate application and selection process that occurs after university.</p>
<p>Hey guys thanks for that that has helped a lot, I'm a bit of a minor when it comes to knowing about the admission process and how to get into the medical side of things thanks again.</p>
