I would like to become a pediatrician but I’m not sure where to go or what is best to major in? Any tips? Must be in California
Most Pre-Med students will major in some kind of science since these majors fulfill the Medical school requirements. That being said, you can major in anything as long as you meet the minimum course requirements for Medical School:
One year of biology
One year of physics
One year of English
Two years of chemistry (through organic chemistry)
Some schools may require a Psychology course, Stats course and Biochemistry course.
What are your Stats? How much can you and your family afford? Private or Public schools?
Stats? Afford =no limit I believe through military bill help and I would like a public school. Not sure what you mean by stats.

School suggestions:
UCSC/UCR/UCM
SDSU/CSULB/SJSU/CSUF/CPP
LMU/Pepperdine/St Marys/Santa Clara/La Verne University/University of Redlands
You could also use the Super Match feature on this website to define the school size/location etc… to give you more ideas. If you are looking for a Biology major, the majority of colleges in California will have well established programs.
Thanks again
