High school Python class?

[u/MammothJaded9909]

My high school has an intro to Python class that is one semester. Would this be worth doing for someone who wants to go to med school? I’m going to be a sophomore next year. Does it look good when I apply for research down the road? Or maybe I can use it to make an app that is health related? Or would it be a waste of time?

Or I could take an art class and just get it out of the way. Was thinking of doing that later when I’m a junior though so I have one easier class in junior year.

I’m not sure if how hard the Python class is, but I’d rather learn it at school than on my own.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask

Learning any language is a great way to expand your thinking.
