What effect does Hope Squad have on college applications?

Good evening!

I hope you are having a good day!

I am currently an eighth grader who is about to go into highschool net year, and I have hit a dilemma. I was nominated for Hope Squad at the highschool level. It would take up one class period, and is an on-level (4.0) credit.

The issue is, I want to be a surgical oncologist. I am scared that this would bring down my GPA, and that I wouldn't be able to get into my school of choice.

Do you have any clue on how this would affect my college applications?

Thank you for your time!
