Anatomy in high school? Yay or Nay?

<p>I'm taking AP classes instead of the regular anatomy class offered at my high school. Is the latter a better choice?</p>

<p>Personally I enjoyed anatomy so I’d say to take that, but hey, if you’re already interested in the AP class why not to get the extra weight on your GPA? I mean, there’s pros and cons to each so really it’s your decision.</p>

<p>Agreed. </p>

<p>D1 enjoyed her HS anatomy class–which was taught on a college and included a week-long observation at the local med school’s human cadaver lab. But most schools don’t teach anatomy at this level. HS anatomy in no way helped her with college A&P, nor did college A&P help her with medical school anatomy. </p>

<p>D2 opted to take AP classes. Both are med students.</p>

<p>So take whichever course appeals to you the most and which offers you the best opportunities.</p>

<p>Definitely take the AP class, I’m not sure about your school, but anatomy at my high school sucks</p>

<p>without knowing anything about your high school or how the anatomy class is taught I would guess the AP class would look better for college. Neither will matter for med school.</p>
