<p>what are the popular premed majors at UCLA?</p>
<p>my current major is biochem- is that one of them? i heard mimg was...</p>
<p>also...i want to double major in a liberal arts like english....how is the english program there? what other programs are super at ucla?</p>
<p>UCLA CLASS OF 2009!! WHOOO!</p>
<p>I heard EE was a popular major to do Premed. lol jk</p>
<p>Biology is probably good one too. Psychology too perhaps?</p>
<p>Not sure what the popular majors are, but any major is fine..choose something you really like.</p>
<p>there's no such thing as a "pre-med" major, but there are majors that "pre-meds" commonly take. the list would include:</p>
<p>biology
psychobiology
MIMG
MCD bio
chemistry
biochem</p>
<p>english is the second most popular "pre-med" major nationwide after biochemistry.</p>
<p>tack my major on^physiology</p>
<p>^ oops forgot about that!</p>
<p>yeah it seems that physiological science is a very popular major with the pre-meds</p>
<p>..but I'm still sticking with Philosophy ;)</p>
<p>Some of my best doctors(I've had a lot with an HMO) have majored in something other than the sciences(bio, chem, etc...yes, I asked. I'm a dweeb.) They had much better bed-side manner, too.</p>
<p>You can be a good doctor with any major. A lot of those qualities are inborn. It's not like a Psych major is going to automatically have more empathy than an engineering major.</p>
<p>There's also Neuroscience.</p>
<p>terribly sorry, aim78, that was not my implication. It was more of an attempt to give an example of doctors not majoring in sciences as still being good. The bed-side manner part was there simply as an observation of my very limited sample, hardly representative.</p>
<p>editted:</p>
<p>biology
psychobiology
MIMG
MCD bio
chemistry
biochem
physiological sci
neurosci</p>
<p>other options: english, philosophy
(note: if you pick one of these options, you'll still need to take all the science core courses so you're prepared for the MCAT).</p>
