Do ADCOMS look at the names of the electives you take?

I have a choice of taking an easy elective called "Pop culture: Sex, drugs and rock & roll"

Would ADCOMS see it as a negative if I took a course like this?


Thank you

They might have a problem if you didn't.

Looks fine.

No. It honestly doesn't matter, especially in electives/gen eds, except that you do well.

That sounds much more interesting for hunanities than something like art history.

Oh, chill. I look at people's course list, and I don't care about an individual course name. The SDandR&R will make for good interview fodder.

Just make sure you're not too stoned to remember taking the course. You will be asked about it in an interview.

The most distasteful thing about that course name is the cliché.

Sounds like a course that would reflect upon you positively; after all, it's offered by a college! Can't get better than that.

Which of these three things you do find most distasteful?
I mean sex, drugs, and classical music doesnt seem to have much punch.
Sex, starbucks espresso, and rock and roll might seem more modern.

Pop culture: Journey into night.

During my interview a student interviewer asked me about my rock climbing elective and other "fun" elective. He thought it was cool and we talked about it for a couple minutes. He explained my mcat score and pre-reqs could speak for themselves and it was more interesting to see something different on the transcripts.

But that was a student interviewer idk if an adcom would think differently.
