Why do you have to choose? You are lucky enough to have been selected for Emerging Scholars (when many, many other applicants were not!), and you can do premed shadowing your sophomore, junior, or even senior year. Why do you feel like you need to do it NOW???

But it doesn’t really matter anyway. You do NOT know what your schedule will be in the Spring, so there’s no way for you to sign up for shadowing now, even if you want to. Predicting your schedule will become easier in future years, and that will make it easier for you to sign up for shadowing.

By the way, I find your question an odd one. Which is more important - ES or UMC health shadowing? Important to whom? If you’re trying to plan your college career to please someone else, it’s not going to be a very happy four years. Do what interests you. If your goal is to continue on to med school, there are a lot of ways to get from here to there. Once you’re on campus, you can meet with the premed advisor and come up with a plan that suits your personal goals and interests. It is NOT “one-size-fits-all”!
