This is a heads up for some of you young aspiring drs
If you know you want to do medicine there are a few schools that have honors programs for high school students that want to go into medicine. They are usually called Med scholars program or something like that. These often come with an undergrad scholarship. As long as you maintain a about a 3.5 and get a certain score on the MCAT you are almost guaranteed admission to their med school. They often set up shadowing experiences and seminars and volunteering for you. Some let you knock off a year of undergrad. They are sometimes also called 7 or 8 year medical school.
I had a friend do this it sounded like a great experience. Between her AP classes and a few summer classes she started med school in what would have been most peoples senior year of undergrad.
This site has a few of the programs (among other types).
