I'm in ninth grade and I'm already looking at becoming a doctor. How high of science and math classes do i have to take to become one? Also how good do my grades have to be to get into a really good medical school?

the medical field is competitive enough let alone Plastics.
Medicine is based on the sciences and mathematics. Everything you do in college and med school is based on them.
You really need to be EXCELLENT at them. You really should do more than is expected to ensure that you can excel.
The moral is that if your school offers them, take them. If you don't you might regret it later.
Personally I am 31 and getting ready to start Pre-Med this fall and I am trying to learn anything I can get my hands on.
And college requires 4 years of higher mathematics, chemisrty, biology, and physics. These courses are required!!!!

Take as much science and math as you can. As to grades, they have to be very good to get into ANY medical school. Work hard, but don't forget to enjoy your teenage years.

logically, you should probably have all As and Bs to get into a good med school.
As for classes to take in high school, I wouldn't worry about it, just try to take whatever you can, but try to get into AP classes, which include Chemistry, Physics and Biology...but none of those will have a major impact on your medical career.
Also, you'll have to go to a pre-med school before you can then go to a full-on medical school

Go to your counselor an explain that you have a dream and goal for your future and ask to be counseled as to steps you can take to get there. You will be glad you did because you will be taken seriously .
