what are you doing for your M.Sc? It would probably be a good idea to choose an elective that's most related to what your studying.

No, I mean what are you doing for your master's program. For example if you are doing condensed matter physics for your masters it might be a good idea to take material science. Or if your taking astrophysics for your masters it might be a good idea to take lasers and Lasers applications as an elective.
