Looking for colleges?

I live in Connecticut and I’m in my junior year of high school but i wanted to get a head start on looking for colleges.

what i want to be is a pediatrician but i don’t know how the schooling works. Will i have to go to a regular public 4 year college first and then from there apply to a med school? Can anyone help me on this. Or can I just finish my entire schooling in that college? I have no idea how it works so the slightest information on this subject will be a great help thanks.

p.s. i know that talking to my guidance couselor is a good way to start but she isn’t really that big of a help. believe me, i’ve tried.

You will need to get a degree from a 4 year school, whether public or private does not matter. Degree can be in biology, chemistry, psychology or a number of other fields, as long as you take the required prerequisites for pre-med. Med school is usually done at a different school unless you choose to go to an undergrad school that also has med school. But that is no guarantee that you will get into that med school. Pre-med can be very competitive so be prepared to put in a lot of study time. Work hard and do your best. Good luck!

Typically, one applies to a college or university in their “pre-med” program. While there, you work your butt off to keep high grades and build up a resume that is worthy of medical school applications. As a college senior, you take the MCAT (like the SAT for future medical students) and submit your applications to medical schools. After you obtain your BS, you spend 3 years in medical school and then you work 3 years of residency (typically, a general residency). After your 3 years of residency, you work may work an additional 3 years of specialized residency (in pediatrics). After this, you’re ready to start paying back your loans…
