<p>Specifically what courses would be recommended for a premed track at Berkeley? Preferably as few weeders (such as Math 1B) as possible?</p>
<p>UCLA med school website says:</p>
<p>The admission requirements are satisfied by the following courses:</p>
<p>ENGLISH One year of college English to include the study of English composition
PHYSICS One year of college Physics (with lab)
CHEMISTRY Two years of college chemistry to include the study of inorganic chemistry, quantitative analysis and organic chemistry (with lab)
BIOLOGY One year of general biology (with lab)
MATHEMATICS One year of college mathematics to include the study of introductory calculus and statistics
SPANISH Highly recommended<br>
HUMANITIES Highly recommended<br>
COMPUTER SKILLS Highly recommended </p>
<p>UC Davis Med school:</p>
<p>The following college-level courses are required:</p>
<p>English: 1 year
Biological Sciences, lower division (with lab): 1 year
Biological Sciences, upper division (lab not required): 1/2 year*
General Chemistry (with lab): 1 year
Organic Chemistry: 1 year
(If two or more undergraduate courses are offered, the more rigorous option is recommended)
Physics: 1 year
Mathematics (college-level math): 1 year
(College-level statistics fulfills a portion of the requirement.)</p>
<p>The Cal career center lists the following:</p>
<p>Pre-Requisite Courses required by most medical schools: </p>
<p>Chemistry (two years) - Most students take Chem 1A, 3A, 3B and MCB 102 or 100 and classify 1A / 3A as General Chemistry and 3B / MCB 102 or 100 as Organic Chemistry.
Physics with Lab (1 year) - Most students take Physics 8A and 8B.
Biology with Lab (1 year) - Nearly all take Biology 1A/1AL and 1B.
Math (requirements vary) - Need to have calculus to take physics at Cal, 16A and 16B are acceptable to most medical schools. Only a few medical schools require Statistics.
English (requirements vary) - Many courses that satisfy the L&S Reading and Composition requirement are acceptable; keep class syllabi.
Non-Sciences - Some schools specify a certain number of units in the humanities and social sciences. A Letters and Science degree should meet these requirements.
Foreign Language - Knowledge of a modern foreign language is helpful. </p>
<p>You will have access to advisors who can help with this.</p>
<p>Thanks Rider730 for the helpful information</p>
<p>You should also do a lot of research online, Berkeley will advisors will help you as to one best way to accomplish this, but there are many ways you can do what you need to do</p>
<p>Math 16A, Math 16B, Chem 1A, Chem 3A/3AL, Chem 3B/3BL, Bio 1A/1AL, Bio 1B, MCB 102</p>
<p>This does not take into account what major you are intending.</p>
