<p>Hey guys, I just need someone out there who can answer a few of my questions regarding college majors. I have been accepted at both UCD and UCI. I’d like to gear my undergraduate studies towards a premedical emphasis. I have been accepted into UCI Henry Samueli School of Engineering under Biomedical Engineering: Premedical, while I have been accepted at UCD under the Biotechnology major in the College of Agricultural Sciences.</p>
<p>-How good is The Henry Samueli School of Engineering at Irvine in terms of its premedical emphasis and students that go onto medical school?</p>
<p>-How good is UC Davis’s biomedical engineering: premed course?</p>
<p>-How easy is it to switch majors at UC Davis, specifically in my situation?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your help</p>

<p>You can switch majors into engineering at UCD but you will need to take certain prerequisite courses and maintain a high gpa (sorry I don't remember exactly what it is). You might want to post your question over in the engineering forum to see if someone knows the required courses and gpa.</p>
