I'm currently in high school right now and I've had in mind to become a doctor for a while now. It's only been recent that I started to look more deeply at the different professions, and I've been hearing many stories about being a doctor.
The advice that I seek from this forum is about colleges and which path I should be taking after high school.
I live in IL and I'm not that smart; I have a 4.3 weighted GPA and 3.5 unweighted. I'm planning on going to U of I at Urbana for my undergraduate and I just wanted some advice where to go from here on out...
1. Do medical schools consider where you went for undergrad as important?
2. I heard how anesthesiology is a path that does not require you to see much blood.. as ironic as this may sound, I don't really want to take a path that requires a direct contact with the internal organs or blood.
3. I'm pretty much ignorant when it comes to different fields so please help me out in choosing a possible career for me.. I know I wanted to become a doctor since I was a child, but I'm not sure where to go exactly and it all seems confusing to me...
Thank you for your help.
