I have a choice between immunology or microbiology for health professions.
Brief Description of Immunology:
The components and mechanisms of action of the immune system. Topics include requirements for antigenicity, types of antibodies, humoral and cell-mediated responses including allergy, graft rejection, and autoimmune diseases.

Microbiology Description:
Microbiology with emphases on characteristics, natural history, and handling of human pathogens. This course is designed for students planning to enter into a professional nursing program and other health professions.

Neither. If you have been accepted, just relax.

I actually was told by multiple med students and DO's I shadowed to take anatomy before you go to med school.

Which are you more interested? Take that one!

I personally liked my Immunology course way more than Micro, but do what makes you happy.

 

[alecseriously]

Take whichever you know you will do well in.

If you have to take one, immunology definitely.

Hmm, if I could go back in time, I would've taken anatomy in undergrad. At least to be exposed to it

Immunology. I'm super biased because it's my favorite subject. BUT, I've also heard it helps a ton for medical school because they fly through it in 2 weeks (that's just what I've heard.)
