For right now, do well enough to get into a college that suits you the best. I am a rising sophmore in college, and i am seriously considering plastic surgery. I actually thought i would have no interest in it until i started shadowing a plastic surgeon this summer. I really enjoy watching the surgeries up close, as well as seeing patients on non-surgery days.

I would suggest trying to find a shadowing-type position. You will get a look at the everyday life of a plastic surgeon, and it may help you figure out whether or not it is the right path for you.

Other than that, i don't know that there is a lot that you can do at this point. Stay focused throughout your undergraduate career, and get involved in as many medical settings as you can. Do some research, and hopefully it will lead you to medical school.

good luck
