Is neurobiology worth taking?

[acm318]

Hello,

I am about to register for summer courses and noticed my school offers a neurobiology course. Would this benefit me for the MCAT or help my application next year? Or should I save my money?

Aside from the required courses, I am also looking at taking cell biology in the fall and either virology or genetics next spring.

Any insight is appreciated!

It won't help on the MCAT as all the neuro related material is pretty surface level and is covered adequately in a psychology course. The other three courses are all beneficial in their own way, more so genetics and cell biology. Virology is super cool to me and very relevant as viruses make up so much of the infectious diseases encountered in medicine.

It was really fun. I highly recommend if you have the time and money to take it. Unlikely to help for the MCAT.
