Registering for my second semester of Undergrad Courses

I'm registering for my second semester classes and was just wondering if any of the classes that my University requires me to take will really matter. When applying to Med School does the course content really matter for these courses or is it just about the grade?

Example: I have to take 12 credit hours of "Humanities" courses" Courses that fall under that are; Fine Arts, Foreign Language, History, Interdisciplinary Humanities, Literature, Philosophy, and Religion.

I can't decide which would be the best to take then I started thinking, does it even matter? Any help would be appreciated!

It really depends on the medical school that you are interested in. If you have a chance to go on the school website, they should list what classes they require/ like. Most schools (for humanities, it seems) like foreign languanges, history, english, psychology (probably a science at most universities), and anthropology among others. I don't imagine fine arts helping you out too much, but it really depends. Hope this helps!

At this level you want to be thinking how can I show med schools I have diverse interests? I recommend you try a hodge podge of different classes and make sure you do well in them. Your university is trying to educate you in diverse subject, none of these will give you an advantage in med school except doing well in them AND (very important) learning something from them that adds to you as a person. Don't forget this is a great time to be getting yourself hooked up with good ECs. Start looking into volunteering in your community or becoming a medical scribe. Also remember you are a person to so try to have fun and enjoy your classes. Take what you want and enjoy.
