Question
I will be a senior next year, I will be taking AP Bio, AP Chem, Ap Calc 1, Ap Calc 2, Medical Science, and Intro to Medicine. I want to become an Anesthesiologist, which college do you think is the best to attend as far as Medical Schools go? And what other classes should I look into?

Answer
There is no best college to go to. The things to look for in a college are the same as anyone looking for a good college. You want it to be competitive, to have a high caliber faculty, to have their own medical school (they often give preference to their graduates) and most importantly, that the faculty and coursework in your chosen major are of high quality. As far as courses, you have all the major ones covered. The only other things to look into might be physics and biochemistry.
