<p>I want to be part of the medical field and want to pursue that in college but there aren't any medical related ec's at my high school. There is an interest of business ec's at my hs. I can establish chapters such as DECA, FBLA, BPA, etc. What would colleges think? Would they think that I am not focused on what I want to pursue in college?</p>
<p>what are those things? DECA? FBLA? BPA? sounds like alphabet soup.
I honestly think colleges will love them. (if they are what I think.) If you can tell me what they are, I’ll appreciate it. :)</p>
<p>DECA - Distributive Education Clubs of America
FBLA - Future Business Leaders of America
BPA - Business Professional of America</p>
<p>Bump!!!</p>
<p>Hey, starting a business club can’t hurt, but look into interning/volunteering at a hospital/nursing home/doctor’s office/ clinic. Even if it’s just secretarial work it could show an interest in that field.</p>

<p>What’s the (orthonormal) basis for your desire to be part of the medical * field *.</p>
<p>I want to be a neuro surgeon. I want to start a club like HOSA, but there is no interest. There is a little more interest in business clubs.</p>
<p>I wanted to start a Doctors of Tomorrow club but I only thought of it near the end of my sophomore year and was already too involved with FBLA (as president). [Doctors</a> of Tomorrow](<a href=“http://www.doctorsoftomorrow.net/]Doctors”>http://www.doctorsoftomorrow.net/)</p>
<p>There is nothing bad about joining/starting any of those clubs… even if they aren’t what you’re interested in in terms of a career. It shows colleges that you pursue various interests (even if not as careers), and I’m inclined to say that joining the most random things (with a legitimate interest) looks better than limiting yourself to only things that reflect what you want to be.</p>
