High School Classes??

Question

Ok, so I'm going to be a freshman in high school, and it's really important to me to get into a good college and start a good career. I just want to know if colleges look at the electives (the extra classes you can choose like marketing, journalism, etc.) you take in high school seriously. Let's say I wanted to go to medical school, but all my electives in high school were photography or accounting. Would this affect my chance of getting into that college? Do I have to choose electives that are related to my major in college, or is it ok to do different things?

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

The more classes you take in high school that are needed, the easier it is in college. Colleges do look at these things.

Answer 2

Colleges do look at your electives, but it depends on whether or not you had a choice in choosing them.  Ultimately, they want the bread and butter subjects, so it affects which college you go to somewhere down the line.  I wouldn't say it would affect med-school...
