Hi Melina,
Medical field has a lot of options today. It is very important to decide what it is that you would love to do in the medical field? Do you want to work with kids? Be a dentist? Nurse? Neurologist? Once you decide what you want to do, then look into ways on how you could get the degree in that field. Do your research locally as well as on line. You can also see about job shadowing someone for a day to truly see if it is what you want to study. In any medical field there is a lot to learn! What ever you decide plan on devoting a lot of time for studying. It is important to do what you love.!

You will need to get good grades in college in order to apply for medical school. At the medical school I attended, the average GPA is reported to be 3.85, so even one or two B's can hurt your chances of acceptance.
Go to class. Plan to spend 2-3 hours studying for every hour of lecture. Attend your professor's office hours and any TA review sessions. If there is a test bank, use that as a study tool to understand what your professor wants you to focus on for the test.
