Hey everyone!
I was just curious if everyone knew if med schools viewed WHICH course an applicant TA'd for as an important factor?
Let's say 1 guy TA's Cellular Neurobiology while another TA's Biology for non-science majors - is one looked at more favorably? Or is TA'ing viewed as a teaching experience, relevant of course?
I'm asking because I was offered a TA position to TA biology for non-science majors which, to my neuroscience courses, seems like a joke. The reason I am TA'ing this course is for TA experience and also because I plan to take the MCAT in a year - so I feel that TA'ing this course in Winter can refresh me on biology I have forgotten since 3 years ago in High School. Is this a good idea? Or should i apply for harder classes to TA? Thanks!
