Premed at UCSD?

<p>How is premedicine at UCSD? I want to go to med school and am interested in human biology and preventive medicine/public health. What major should I apply to and what order should i rank the collges (sixth, muir, roosevelt...etc)</p>

<p>You'll fit right in here with the other boring ass pre-meds.</p>

<p>Biology is a common premed major, but there's no required major. I think Revelle is popular for premeds and biology students, even though it has rigorous class requirements.</p>

<p>:| Can't imagine why. Revelle has GEs from hell.</p>

<p>There's no such thing as the "right major" for pre-med. In fact, they said at a pre-med info meeting that more music majors got into med schools than bio/chem majors. The bottomline is to major in what interests you because med schools like applicants who have a passion in other fields too.</p>

<p>They don't care what you major in. You could major in art and humanities and stuff, and it would actually probably be beneficial because they view it as being well-rounded.</p>

<p>Speaking of premed... :| Has anyone spotted a pre-vet club around campus? I've been waiting forever for that club to pop up any day now, but I've seen no sign of it.</p>

<p>I'm sure there are others out there like you. Maybe you should start one up?</p>

<p>I really would, but as a freshman, I don't feel very qualified to start one up!</p>

<p>go to Warren. double major in Biology and Psychology .... that would boost ur chances</p>

<p>Why would that boost their chances?
Med schools really only look at numbers (GPA, MCATs). Double majoring won't help.</p>

<p>Yes, for med school purposes, double major does nothing really. But when in the job market, apparently, double majoring is good for something (allegedly, anyways). I would say, same goes for minoring?</p>
