Answer 1

Good luck with the twenty years of schooling and hands on learning that you're going to enter!  But if you are serious, you should ask a college counselor about this.  What I do know is that you need to be academically motivated and have a strong knack for everything school related.

Answer 2

You can major in whatever you want at ISU as long as you take the pre-med classes and can pass the MCATs.  Then you want to go to medical school - if IU has a medical school, you can apply there.  After that, you've got about 8 more years of residency/fellowship before you can get a job as a heart surgeon.  After you finish medical school, you go through 'match' to find a hospital that will take you on for your residency.
