I am a rising freshman in the process of choosing classes. So far, I have chosen two science classes and one Psychology class. I want to add one more social science class that could potentially help me stand out among the crowd of med school applicants. I do not want to take a hard class, though. I want something easy but not too easy. Any suggestions, please?

If your school requires you to take gym classes try and take one that's a new sport/activity you've never done before. Fencing and Rock wall climbing were both super enjoyable!

I made sure to take at least one class each year for fun. Things I loved weren't necessarily easy, but they exposed me to great professors and students. Philosophy (ethics and logic), modern fiction, gender studies, film, unique classes from visiting professors. If you don't already know Spanish, that can help you for the rest of your life. If you took it in high school, become fluent.

Anthropology? Or you could consider Bioethics, which would help with interview scenarios.

My school offers (no joke).....Scientific Glassblowing. For making custom glassware for the lab! I'm trying really hard to take that.

Do it. It's a dying art. All the old guys are starting to hit retirement and there really isn't a lot of training opportunities.

No individual course will make you stand out in applications. Take things you’ll think you will enjoy and use ratemyprofessor to see how other’s felt about it.

I ended up really enjoying econ lol

Sociology/Anthropology/Astronomy/Medical bioethics/Humanities

I took a History of Medicine course...just for fun and it was great!

Another Dale Chihuly-like glass artist might be inspired.

Use ratemyprofessor.com It will help you find professors that offer fair grading and interesting courses.

Second for sociology/psychology. It’ll give your mcat studying a nice boost.

It’s difficult to say what classes will be easy it hard. It varies a lot between schools and with the aptitude and background of the student.
Find classes that look fun and intersting to you, a big part of college is expanding your horizons.
