Best CAS and EE to do for applying to medicine?

For an EE you probably want to do a science subject, especially because if you interview at a university you'll have a subject you're really familiar with to talk about.

I know in the US you can sign up to be an EMT while in high school, if you can do that type of thing that would be really good because it's service (and you could argue for action too) and it really shows that you want to do medicine. Also look into whether you can volunteer at hospitals or care homes etc.

Hey! I'm in second year IB and I wanna do Med too.

For the EE, do whatever will get you the highest grade with the least amount of time. My advice is DON'T do a science EE, my friends spent months in the lab only to find that their experiment didn't work? I'm really glad I didn't get a science EE

All CAS can be twisted into being relevant for Medicine. If you can kill two birds with one stone and use elderly visits, volunteering etc. as CAS, even better.

Okay thank you! I'm from the UK, so I don't think that EMT thing would actually be something that I could do as a 16 year old (unfortunately). I'm thinking of working with disabled children being their buddy or something like that.

I always thought that even if the experiment didn't work you could still make a good report, but obviously with ways to improve the experiment for next time or by identifying what went wrong and why ???????
And, if you don't mind me asking, what did you do for your EE?

Just for the record, most Universities don't have the first clue what the EE is and won't ask you about it in your interview even if you have a relevant one. So unless sciences are also your strongest subject and would have been your choice anyway, don't bother forcing an EE in science, because they don't tend to score as highly as humanities, languages etc. There will be so much in your personal statement that doing your EE in biology will be similar to trying to tell them you wrote them a poem about medicine or something. It's small print!

Working with disabled children would be great for your interview. Just make sure you also get some work experience in a GP or hospital setting at some point - you were probably planning to anyway, I only mention it as the working with disabled children will earn you ++ brownie points but not replace work experience, in case you thought that

EDIT: Also an experiment that doesn't work can also get an A for an EE. But science EEs in general have very high standards and it's hard to get an A whether your experiment succeeds or fails.
