im a complete newbie about college and whatnot so please excuse my lame questions.
i was wondering which college(s) is best if you want to be a dermatologist. i've compiled a list of questions so hopefully they can be answered.

1) what college to take? (obviously)
2) what majors are the best?
3) how many years of college?
4) cost of the college?
5) and for those who are majoring or are now dermatologists, please give me any tips that can help.

thanks.

edit:

6) what classes should i take in high school?
im a junior now and am planning to take either physics or physiology my senior year. which one should i take?
although i am leaning towards physiology more but would physics help me in the long run?

Dermatology is a branch of medicine. You'd have to go to college, then med school, then go through a dermatology residency to become one. You can't just start practicing dermatology right out of college.

He's definitely right on that one.

Even better yet, why don't you post such questions as these in the Posted MEDICAL SCHOOL THREAD at the top of this section? Perhaps you might get better responses.
