What are the popular pre-med majors in UCs and CSUs?

Given the brutal Med competition, thought of completing some more IGETC courses at CC and transferring to UC 1) to boost GPA and 2) to save money. Is it a good idea to go to CC?

Adcomms at med schools are aware that students use CC credits to artificially inflate their GPAs and will take that into consideration when making decisions about which students to interview.

Additionally, not every medical school will accept CC credits for pre-reqs. Other med schools severely limit the number of CC credits they will accept for pre-reqs. ALL medical schools expect students who take CC courses to supplement those CC credits with additional upper level electives in the same dept at a 4 year college.
