My future career is to become a Neurosurgeon. I am planning on majoring in Biology. Scheduling is coming up soon, and I need to decide whether to take Kinesiology or Intro to Finance. I enjoy learning about the stock market and I want to learn about how to manage money, make stocks, etc. However, one of my teachers suggested me to take Kinesiology, which I am interested in taking. I enjoy learning about the human body. If I had to choose between one of the two classes, which one should I take? Many thanks for helping me!
@IvyCavalier2004 Do Kinesiology for Plan A and do Intro to Finance for Plan B. If you can not do both this semester, do one now and do other some other semester. For MD admission, both have no effect.
With aspirations of becoming a neurosurgeon, you’re looking at 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, 7 years of residency training in neurosurgery. You will say bye bye to your 20s, a chunk of your 30s before your training is done. As you have a very long, hard slog in front of you and since both courses interest you, agree take either one or both whenever you can fit into your schedule. Good luck.
Yep, I know and ready for the arduous road ahead! ;-0
You can take both as electives, it won’t effect your med school app, but if you get a bad grade, the med school will notice that and thus it will work against you.
I don’t know if you are in HS or college, but for med school or college it won’t matter one bit.
Med school has their pre-reqs: Bio, Chem, O Chem, Physics, Calculus, English
College just cares about the core classes (math, science, SS, english, Foreign lang)
