What country and what grade are you in?

In the US, you go to college and get your bachelors degree first. You want to go to the best school you can so your academic record looks more impressive. Your major doesn't matter too much, you just need to fulfill the med school's prerequisite classes.

Med school is a graduate school you attend after getting your bachelors. US News ranks them, but you really should worry about getting in period before deciding which ones to grace with your presence.

Well, first you need to finish college to be accepted into medical school. In your senior year you will apply. There are certain prerequisite courses you need, most of them sciences---biology, chemistry (organic and inorganic), physics. You also need to take the MCAT (Medical College Aptitude Test) in your late Junior year. This is a standardized test required by most medical schools. Admission to medical school is quite competitive---good grades and extracurricular activities are important. There are two types of schools: allopathic (M.D.) and osteopathic (D.O.). Osteopathic school admissions are perhaps a bit less competitive, the training is the same, plus you also learn diagnostic and treatment techniques similar to those of chiropractors. Applying is expensive and time consuming---choose the schools based on your personal desires of geographical location, cost, competitiveness. The American Medical Association ( www.ama-assn.org ) and the American Osteopathic Association www.aoassn.org ) will have lots of info.
One more thing, your writing skills are atrocious---part of medical training and evaluation for medical training is communication, written and verbal.

Good Luck

OK, if you are still in high school, and in the US, then I can answer this question. If there are other variables, I would double check my information.

What most medical schools require is a four year undergraduate degree. This degree is usually a bachelor of science with an emphasis on medical pre-professional. When you are in your third year of said undergrad degree, I would advise preparing and taking the MCAT. This is the medical school graduate entrance exam. About this time, you need to start researching and applying to medical schools. Apply to at least 5, and remember that you are probably going to have to be flexible as to where you go. Keep your grades up (I'm talking, top of your class) and good luck!

Linkin is right- if you have a choice of med schools you would be one of the lucky ones. Make sure in college you have biology, anatomy, chemistry microbiology, physics- and it does not matter which major you have. You also need to get a reasonable score on the MCAT.
