I'm currently in my first semester at a California community college as a Psych major and pre-med. I contacted a couple of UC Med schools:
UCLA: ok to take some pre meds at cc
UCSD: totally ok
UCI: totally ok
UCSF: totally ok, we don't look down upon applicants who took pre-med courses at a CC
I was planning on taking all the pre-reqs at my cc. To look competitive, after I transfer to UCLA, I would take a couple of upper division science classes along with biochem, histology, human physiology at UCLA.
Although those med schools said it was fine, I'm still skeptic. Do you suggest I go through with taking ALL of my pre-reqs at my cc? Or save some for UCLA? Which ones should I save (I was thinking Organic chem)?
