What courses should I take in High School in order to get into Medical School? What Advice would you give to an 10th grader that wants to get into the medical field? Could I get a Volunteer Job at a Pharmacy, Medical Office, or a Hospital at 14-15?
I am M/15 I recently got into high school and gets good grades as I achieved high honors. I have been consistent at math, getting 100 in geometry, 93 and above in science and over 93s in all classes including the 5 100s I have. My GPA is a 96-98 average, and I would say I am one of the smartest in the class if not the smartest in Geometry. I study Chemistry in my free time, and I am taking Living Enviromint, but my teacher teaches Biology. Some of the smartest kids in Senior classes come back to my science teacher and thank him. I take chemistry next year and my schedule is full, I don't have any lunch breaks nor any free periods. I have 2 options currently, I used to want to be an engineer and I am actually really good, I fix electronics for a living and help my school with problems. I got offered to be an Intern too at my high school, but since technology changes quick and new certificates come out fast, I don't think it would be good. The medical field is still and barely changes. I Really want to volunteer but have no clue how at 15. Also, What is some procedures/ Classes I should take in Highschool to make it into medical or pharmacy school faster? Thank you!
