It looks like you are doing pretty well for setting a path to your goal. You will want to keep your grades high in all those subjects, plus a good overall gpa. Plus it would help to keep perfect conduct grades: nothing worse than a doctor with a horrible bedside manner. If you want to get ahead and have the time, you should see if you want to specialize in any particular area and read medical journals (such as Lancet) on the side to keep up with the latest developments in health.

Oh and you'll probably want to get yourself a smattering of Greek and Latin, because you will use those languages a lot.
