    Once you get into a school, you will choose a major. If your school doesn't have a "pre-med" major, you will probably be a bio major or something like that. Once you have a major, you will get a list of classes that you're required to take for your major. You can probably find this information if you just go to the school's website and look around for it.

    It varies by school and by major, so nobody here can really answer your questions without knowing your college / major.

    There is no such thing as becoming a surgeon. You have to become a general doctor first, graduate. Then, your internship and residency determines what you are going to be. After medical school, you need 4 years to become a general surgeon. If you want to become a specialized surgeon, like Orthopedics, etc, you need to do another 2-4 years of training in that specialty.

    Good luck. I have been a doctor since 1981 and now I have 3 specialties all in internal medicine.

    By the way, in the UK, when you become a surgeon , they call you Mr. in stead of Dr. and they consider that a prestige. weird. As for now, take chemistry, organic chemistry, you still need basic math to calculate medication doses etc, psychology always helps to understand patient's personalities.

    Latin will help you with medical terminology, also epidemiology, public health would help, and of course biology and cytology. Biochemistry is a big help in understanding the human metabolism.

    Take every science course your school offers

    That way you are one step ahead of the competition

    Then take a private first aid course away from school as that will put edge towards it

    Then take another subject which is relevant and try and get as much information possible

    Wow. i'm a creationist yet that's a awful argument. removing a finger surgically does not do away with the genetic innovations that motives the formation of a finger. This additionally helps clarify why adult adult males have not got much less ribs than women.
