<p>3.91 Political Science, and I study harder than a lot of the south campus majors I know.</p>
<p>I know one engineer whose GPA is higher than mine.</p>
<p>^What year are you in?</p>
<p>Hi! I’m a pre poli sci major too. my first term sked:
Poli sci 40, History 13A(american colonial history), Jewish institutions.</p>
<p>Is a 3.7- 4.0 with these subjects doable?</p>
<p>^The general consensus seems to be that a 4.0— while difficult to maintain in any major— is possible with the right study habits. There seems to be a strong negative correlation between innate intelligence and amount of time spent studying, however.</p>
<p>That’s an A- average, which should be easy with those classes.</p>
<p>PS 40 is a joke, I took it last year, never went to lecture and studied the lecture notes for an hour or two the day before the midterm/final and got an A. Easiest A ever.</p>
<p>History 13A might be difficult, but I’m pretty sure the Jewish class is easy so even if you got a B+ in History 13A if you get an A in the Jewish class you’ll have over 3.7.</p>
<p>Thanks for answering guys!</p>
<p>I’m just wondering but how doable do you guys think is a 4.0 in a hard science major such as chemistry, neuroscience, or integrative biology? I’m asking just to get opinions as I am going to start in the fall as a neuro major. Thanks for your opinions.</p>
<p>4.0 in the hard sciences is ridiculously hard and almost impossible. There’s no way you can get an A in every single class unless you’re truly special.</p>
<p>I’ve seen some 3.9s in Engineering and Biology though, but those people were truly something special and were unlike the average and typical UCLA student.</p>
<p>In that case wouldn’t it make way more sense for a majority or pretty much all of UCLA’s undergrad premed population to north campus major and just take the premed requirements on the side?</p>
<p>That would be flawed reasoning. You cannot assume that all pre meds at UCLA only care about getting into med school by any means necessary. Some pre meds legitimately are interested in topics like Biology or Physics of Chemistry or Biochemistry whereas some pre meds despise topics like Political Science or Sociology.</p>
<p>Furthermore, while it is generally considered easier to get an A in Sociology as opposed to Biology, this is not always the case. Some people simply suck at reading and writing and are just better and doing science than humanities.</p>
<p>In addition, not all pre meds are certain they want to go to med school. Some people, by their 3rd year, decide med school is not for them and instead decide to go into another relevant field like nursing, pharmacy, optometry, etc.</p>
<p>How’s the sociology major at UCLA?</p>
<p>Besides, doing a humanities major plus the pre-med pre-reqs would be more work… the pre-reqs are a part of the life sciences curriculum so it saves time for graduation (it keeps me from having to take more than 3 classes per quarter, generally)</p>
