<p>so i've been thinking that im going to go to an OOS CC in cali and then transfer out to UCLA/UCI
but im just wondering- when do you take your GEs? is it during the first two years of college? so would that mean im taking CC for my GEs? because i want to major into becoming either a nursing or doctor/physician, and when i signed up for the CC in cali, they said to put down major or whatever, and i just put pre health professions..
what does that mean?
thank you very much lol.. just a bit confused.</p>
<p>oh and another thing, do med school accept more people than nursing school? (more of a chance, i mean..)</p>
<p>and if i 'happened' to get accepted into ucla's med program or uci's, what classes would i be taking?</p>
<p>Yes, you take the IGETC - which are the general ed. courses and the pre-requisites needed for your major before you transfer. Go on assist.org and check out the pre-reqs needed for your major. </p>
<p>Medical school is only for graduate school… It doesn’t matter what you major in to apply to med school but you have to finish that schools pre-requisite classes needed (lot’s of chem/bio/whatnot).</p>
<p>oh and it’s different for nursing school as well too?
thanks so much, and do you know if they accept more in med school or nursing school?
i really want to become an crna/md but im hesitant cause they won’t accept me because im from a community college?
do you do all your GE’s in the first two year of college or is it varieD?</p>
<p>^ i’m not sure about nursing school. There are different levels of nurses - the nurses who go to 2 years of technical school and give sponge baths for a living and those who go to graduate school for their masters/phd and are pretty much on the same level as doctors. I’m guessing they are both (med/nursing) really really tough to get into. I would ask in the med/pre-med section of college confidential, or use the search function.</p>
<p>As far as med school, It shouldn’t be a big deal if you went to a community college or not - especially at public universities. You should finish most (90%) of your GE’s and pre-reqs before you transfer otherwise they may not accept you, especially for cal/ ucla. The lower tier UC’s and public schools might accept you anyway if you have a good GPA and whatnot.</p>
<p>so i’m looking through the assist site, and im looking at UCLA to ORANGE COAST COLLEGE.
the major that’s only there that i want to do is NURSING, and well, im only trying to pass nursing so i can get into anesthesia x-x (i need a BSN or something to become a crna…)
if the other major that i wanna get into is not listed there, does that mean it’s not one of the options?</p>
<p>im kinda confused with this assist site and im tryna read it and understand it but it’s really not helping. lol</p>
<p>Nursing is not a undergraduate major. Typical majors that pre-med students take are bio, chem, etc. It does not matter what major you take for your bachelors degree… You get into medschool AFTER you graduate meaning you have no chance and no idea of your future until your done and know your grades.</p>
<p>ooh i understand now.
okay, so i take the few classes i take in a community college, and if i did transfer, i take those classses and transfer them to UCLA for instance.
then why do colleges ask what your major would be?</p>
<p>^ some majors are VERY popular and you have to be VERY good (econ, polisci, etc) in order for them to give you a spot. YOU CANT pick an easy major like asian studies then switch to a hard major (called impacted major) so pick wisely. and the reason you have to know your major is because you have to take classes related to that major before you transfer so you can graduate on time ! you take 2 years of CC and two years at UCLA then graduate so you have to use those 2 years just as if you were already at UCLA and take the classes pertaining to the major you want. Here’s the steps to going to med school.(really simply)</p>
<ol>
<li>go to community college and pick a major you like (ANY major)</li>
<li>complete youe general ed. classes and the pre-requisites you need in order to transfer to UCLA.</li>
<li>Go to ucla take your classes for your major INCLUDING any classes that you need to apply for med school (chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, etc.)</li>
<li>Get your bachelors degree.</li>
<li>Apply to med school.</li>
