Don't sweat Undergrad. Do well in classes. Major in Science, but take some business courses. Volunteer/shadow a doc (more than one or a path/ID if you can.)Enjoy undergrad without endangering yous academic standing (in other words, do well but you don't need a 4.0 with all honor classes.) The biggest mistake students make getting into medical school is not being able to show they are a real person. Play a sport. Show you know how to have fun. Be able to talk about a hobby, etc. Medical school is where you will have to struggle to get your residency. I worked with some ID docs, but don't know of many that were also pathologists. That may be an unusual combination. Good luck with everything.
