In highschool I would mostly focus on learning as much as you can. In college you will want to do a lot of science courses, but you are going to want to build a pretty good foundation right now. Really focus on learning the concepts for things like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and general sciences where applicable. Make sure you are doing well in your math and you will be set up well for college where you will need to do really well in these classes to get into a medical school.

What you study in HS is not as important as doing well and being involved in multiple activities bc this is what colleges look for in applicants. As far as colleges, I went to the college that gave me a scholarship over Ivy League colleges and I not only was accepted to 8 medical schools but received a scholarship to the one I attended. Ultimately, the school and subject matter do not matter as much as how well you do in terms of grades and showing you are more than just intelligent but also well-rounded.
As far as becoming a surgeon, it is not an easy or short path. It takes hours of studying and sacrifice but if that's your dream then it's all worth it in the end. The minimum is 4 years of college, 4 years of med school and a 5 year residency.
