<p>My history of science and math classes. 9th grade B in academic physical science and B in honors geometry, 10th grade A in academic biology and A in Honors Algebra, and 11th grade B in Honors Chemistry and B in Honors Pre Calc. Next year taking Honors Physics and Honors Calculus. I am interested in going pre med but would it be better if I applied as undecided rather than Pre med because that will help my chances of getting accepted??? And after I get in say as undecided then I can take pre med classes?</p>

<p>Pre-Med isn’t a major so it’s not something you need to put on your application. Any student going to Pitt can technically be a pre-med student (which is why it doesn’t matter).</p>

<p>Certainly. Being pre-med just means you intend to apply to medical school and go there after your bachelor’s degree. The classes are ones which help prepare you for the MCAT and Medical School (Calc, Chem, Bio, Physics). Anyone can take them.</p>
<p>AwesomeOpposum - on online application it has question intended field of study and there is a pre med option and also an undeclared option.</p>
<p>If you are unsure of admittance, it is my opinion you have a greater chance with an undeclared major. It has no impact on what courses or program you want to follow once you register for classes freshman year. You can then sign up for those courses recommended for premed and either way you can’t officially declare a major until later. As AO said, Premed is not a major - you will be majoring in something else of your choosing, but you don’t need to choose now.</p>

<p>Just don’t mark pre-med, seriously. About 50% of Pitt students (over exaggeration) will originally be pre-med when they arrive but then they realize that they don’t like chem or bio or something and decide not to do it. Unless you have a super strong science/math background in HS, there is no point in putting it (I believe it’s really just to field applicants for the guaranteed medical school program).</p>
