I’m going tο bе a freshmen іn high school. I signed up fοr French, bυt I read someone еlѕе′s qυеѕtіοn thаt I mυѕt take Latin bесаυѕе medicines οr whatever аrе іn Latin. Sο whаt mυѕt I dο? Iѕ іt okay tο stay іn French? Or mυѕt I switch tο Latin; іf I саn.

If I want tο become a dermatologist, dοеѕ іt really matter whаt language I take?

  • Alexalee C:

    most health check terms are either english or latin based- but if you are looking for the best/ most widely spoken language one of the fastest growing in the US is spanish

    Latin might help, but Spanish is the language that would help you out with all the people that speak it in the U.S.

    Hello.

    Freshman in high school? It doesn’t matter what you’re going to take unless:

    1. You somehow become fluent in it via education at the high school level (which isnt going to happen)
    2. Choose to continue onto college and major in it

    Med schools don’t care what you take in high school. High school is a foundation for the real game – which is college.

    Take whatever you want to take. But keep in mind where you plot on attending school in 8 years. It would probably make more sense to take Spanish because we have a lot of Spanish speakers. I infer Latin would help, but it isn’t really THAT necessary. Latin and Health check latin are separate courses for a reason (typically offered at your college).

    If you want to be more competitive in your med school applications, then you must truly learn a language. When you fill out the application (AMCAS application), you have to disorder only languages you are FLUENT in. So at the end of the day, it isn’t going to help you unless you most likely major in it at the college level (or minor in it – but usually the credits for a language minor are nearly the same for another full major).
