I'm in 10th grade in high school ?

Question

Hi i'm in 10th grade in high school and i want to be pediatrician what should i start doing now to prepare for college and medical school?

Answer 1

While academics is key don't forget about extra curricular stuff too. Take the initiative. Colleges love that. Volunteer at a hospital or doctors office. Its not too early to get some experience!

Answer 2

Science/Math/Science/Math/Science/Math

Answer 3

I'm entering grade 10 too. But anyway, I guess you should take Biology (although I'm not sure if they have it for grade 10). Then there is this other course I know for later years where I see seniors taking care of dolls, and treat them like real babies. I think it's called 'parenting', but again I'm not that sure. Hope this helps you!

Answer 4

Do the best you can in your science and math class..No do beyond your best because my best last your in geometry was seen as a failure to some kids :p

Answer 5

i'm in 11th and i also want to be a doctor. my advice is to talk to your counselor, decide what schools you may want to go to, see what their requirements are and what your SAT and ACT scores have to be. also have some hard core (intense such as AP or IB) classes so that the schools know that you're serious. Shadow a doctor for a day at the local hospital or volunteer. and if you can, go to a summer program on medicine i went to National Youth Leadership Forum/Med it was great. It's never too early to start researching!Good Luck! I myself want to go to Emory oh by the way the more science and math classes you take would be good but now they're also looking for doctors that are well rounded so dont forget to take an art class or something especially in college  try to get a second major in a different field if you can
