<p>Hey guys I recently got accepted as a transfer student from a ccc to UCD as a political science major. Although Poli sci is my major I want to take my pre med requirements. What do I need to do? Will ucd allow me to take pre med as a transfer student?</p>
<p>My advice to you is to continue out with your Polisci required courses to graduate. While taking those courses, take the pre-medicine courses you will need to take the MCAT ( 2 Chems, 2 Bios, 2 Physics, 2 O-Chems). You don’t need to major in Polisci to do Pre-Medicine. You just need the classes completed to be able to do well on the MCAT.</p>
<p>Thank you for your response! Wow really? I always thought you needed to finish both a major and pre med ??!</p>

<p>You do need to finish a major, but it can be any major as long as you have the pre - med courses done.</p>
<p>I really appreciate this advise. So I went on UCD’s pre med page and I read this…</p>
<p>“Your major does not matter<em>unless</em>you have weak science grades or are a transfer student who is planning at non-science major at UC Davis.* Please see an staff advisor in Health Sciences Advising (HSA) for more information if this is your situation”</p>
<p>And I am in fact both a non science major and a transfer student. So will I be allowed to take pre med???</p>
