<p>What doctor I shadow. I'm interested in the neurosurgical field, but I'm currently shadowing with liver doctor.</p>
<p>Does it matter to you, yourself?</p>
<p>Probably not. General experience is fine. If you go to med school you’ll need general experience.</p>
<p>And it seems like 70% of kids who want to be a doctor are interested in neuroscience, so you might change your mind.</p>
<p>@ Seahawks 506: Yes, it does. But I’m not sure if it matters to college.</p>
<p>@ notanengineer: Why? Just because a lot of people like the same thing like me?</p>
<p>Oh, and I’m a high school student looking to be an undergrad.</p>
<p>I dunno, just seems like most people who want to be premeds intend to go into neurosurgery, but in the end they can’t all be neurosurgeons.</p>
<p>Thanks. What I actually wanted to know was that would it hurt my admission chances to schools if I do not shadow a specific type of doctor that operates in a field that I’m interested in? Personally, I’d like to major in neurobiology.</p>
<p>No, it wouldn’t.</p>
<p>Do you know why?</p>
<p>Because admissions committees probably don’t care that you committed such a grave sacrilege as shadowing a doctor outside of your primary field of interest. Really.</p>
<p>No dude, you’re wrong right there.</p>
<p>You sound like you want it to hurt your chances of admission.
If it does, you’ll find out when you get the letters back.</p>
<p>Shadowing a doctor in high school is good enough (I’ll assume that you are indeed in HS). What doctor you shadow could matter less.</p>
