Photography or Exploring Health and Science and Exploring the Language of Medicine

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>Okay, so, right now I’m stuck between ‘Photography’ or ‘Exploring Health and Science and Exploring the Language of Medicine.’ Both are an elective, but I can only take one.
Photography is in school, however, the medical one is an academy. Which means that I have to give up two electives to go to a different school two to three times a week because our school doesn’t offer it. </p>

<p>My problem is that they’re just electives. I want to be a surgeon, hopefully, in the future(I know I’m not going straight into medical school). I’m still a sophomore in high school, but I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Anyway, I heard that colleges don’t really look at electives you take and I don’t know if the language of medicine will help a ton. </p>

<p>Any tips? What would you suggest?</p>

<p>Take the Language of Medicine elective, it’ll probably pay off.
I go to a vocational school and I take Allied Health as my elective. I was told that it would definitely help me out for college.
But, hey, even if it doesn’t, you’re still becoming familiar with your desired career, right? It can’t hurt.
UNLESS, you have a strong passion for photography, then you should take that. But I don’t think colleges would really enjoy seeing photography as your elective if your not into it and you could have chosen something you were more interested in.
In the end, though, do what you like, not what colleges want.</p>
