When i was in high school one of my biggest problems (other than being extremely indecisive) was that i had too many interests that i wanted to explore before i made the final decision about my career. I was wavering between computer science, art, music, discrete mathematics and many other interests. I did quite a bit of research online and found some rather surprising results:

High SAT scores will compensate for most weaknesses. (I had an embarrasingly low GPA and extremely high SATs.)
Take the SAT IIs and as many AP classes as you can - they will help to save you some time in college that you can spend exploring your interests.)
Second, many schools don't require you to declare your major until the end of the first or second semester anyway. (Usually they want you to apply to a particular branch of the school, and then make up your mind).
Finally, the medical field will most likely require some sort of post-graduate schooling anyway, so nobody will expect you to be a doctor by the time you finish undergrad.

My girlfriend was very interested in the medical field and ended up going to NYU and changing her major many times - as the Pre-Med requirements were complementary to her Science requirements. So she had the luxury of exploring different interests while simultaneously pursuing her interest in the medical field.

Most of all, I would recommend trying to keep your options open b/c you never know what the market is going to do by the time you finish school. Research how much time and money you will have to invest in order to get your degree, and ask yourself what level you would like to achieve, and if you have the determination to make that commitment.


Good luck! :]
