<p>at top universities?</p>
<p>If you’re interested in psychology, not hard at all. You’ll be doing a lot of intro classes the first couple years so big lecture halls, multiple choice tests, little to no essays. Psychology and your pre-med classes will integrate quite well especially if you veer towards cognitive psych.</p>
<p>I’m very interested in psychology. However, I probably ultimately want to be a regular doctor (eg: pediatrician). </p>
<p>Will it be difficult to enroll in the courses required to be premed? (Biology, chemistry, physics) because psychology is in a different college?</p>
<p>Wow we sound like the same person. For enrollment issues you’re going to have to check with the policies at your university, but I really doubt that you’re going to have any trouble other than perhaps having to walk a bit to your classes.</p>
<p>You may have to take a few at 9am, but I don’t see how you could just fail to get into the required med school courses.</p>
<p>Amarkov, if that were the only problem why does everyone make a big deal out of “impacted majors?” Surely there must be a greater disadvantage.</p>

<p>That would be something you would have to ask your school or people at your school. At my school psychology and natural science majors are all in the College of Arts and Sciences and it is no harder to get into pre-req classes as a psych major than as a bio major. Most of the posters who replied are answering in regards to their own school. They know perhaps a psych major at their college may have to walk a bit to class or have classes at 9am but that likely might not be the case at your school.</p>
