<p>I'm graduating 2 years early, which means that when I enter community college, I will be 15 going on 16. As a sophomore, I am doing pretty good, a 4.3 weighted GPA, active in clubs, have been in a varsity sport as well as another junior varsity sport since freshman year and got a 1700 on my PSATs. I want to go to medical school and become a doctor, so I guess I would probably major in biology. My question is, what classes do I have to take in community college (San Diego Mesa College), in order to qualify for admission into UCLA's major program and be priority. Also, I am only in Algebra II as of this year, and I was to take Math Analysis next year, and Calculus the year after, but...I'm not so good at math, I get A's but I have to study much harder than say, AP world history, so, is math in community college hard? Specifically calculus.</p>
<p>To answer your later question the first 2 parts of Calc in a 3 part series are easy or the first part of Calc in a 2 part series is easy. After that the techniques get somewhat more interesting. If you can maintain a 4.0 in community college then you should be set to move into UCLA after a year or two.</p>
<p>You do not have to major in biology to be a pre-med. Indeed, if you have other academic or career interests, you may want to major in something else while using breadth and free electives to take the pre-med courses (chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, physics, calculus, English). Also note that if you do not go to medical school (or other graduate or professional school), biology majors have poor job and career prospects after graduating with bachelor’s degrees.</p>
<p>[Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) is helpful for transfer students. For example, here is a [list</a> of majors at UCLA](<a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST); you can use it to look up which courses at your community college fulfill lower division prerequisites for each major.</p>
<p>My recommendation to you is get to know your counselor at CC as soon as possible, but please do not believe everything he/she tells you. Do additional research on your own, visit assist and read up on IGETC in your schedule of classes frequently. Also I highly recommend joining your schools honor’s program and utilize the CC’s transfer center, they are put in place to help you succeed.</p>
