Question
Hi Im a junior in highschool and senior year is coming real soon...so I was wonderin what classes do I need to next semester if I want to be an anestheisologist?

Answer
Spelling and English:  One, so you'll know how we spell our specialty and, two, to be competitive against the many applicants who do know COLD at this point how to write in English.  You appear to be considerably behind in these areas based on the form/style of your question.

It is not too soon to review the admission requirements at several medical schools (all anesthesiologists are doctors) such that you can get an idea as to what will be expected of you in college--for which you are now preparing!
