I would suggest taking biology, chemistry, math, anatomy, physiology,. In my opinion each of these science and math courses are difficult but if you truly study and work with the teacher/ professor you can succeed in the classe(s), and your dream job. Good luck !

Elizabeth,
As Sarah mentioned, and of these core and applied science classes would be helpful if your heart's set on learning to practice medicine, such as working as physician or PA. I would also add some non-science classes or short courses to make sure -and demonstrate- that you're well rounded in your education, such as public speaking, ethics, and psychology.
Good luck!

Take as many high school science classes as you can to help your grades in college.
