Hi Everyone, Just started the UCLA extension pre-medical and general science studies certificate this fall (2016). I feel a little lost and I am quite new to the area. I haven't met anyone doing this certificate program in my classes so far. This program is also not as structured as I thought...

Anyone else have the interview on Sept? How to best prepare? :)

Hey there everyone, I just completed and sent out my UCLA secondary application last Thursday. I was browsing SDN today and something caught my attention that I couldn't help but notice. People were saying that they did not go over the text box space in each question for the UCLA secondary. It...

Has anyone received a secondary from UCLA? If you have not received one yet, does this mean you will not get one?

Hi guys, I go to UCLA and I am trying to complete my general Chemistry series. The way UCLA works is that they separate their labs away from their classes. For example: Chem 20A - General Chemistry I Chem 20B - General Chemistry II Chem 20L - General Chem Lab I Chem 30AL - General Chem Lab II...

Hi everyone. So I just finished my 2 year at a community college and I've been accepted to UCLA and USC. I was wondering which one would you think it's best for Pre-Med courses and also for not ruining my GPA (I have a 4.0 right now) . My major is economics btw.

I am planning on taking the DAT next year and I want to as soon as possible so I can be an early applicant especially since I'm applying out of state to UCLA. When would be a good time to start studying or when should I take the DAT because school and finals end the last week of April and idk...

I'm a junior in MIMG/Microbio (Path 2) at UCLA. Currently 3.5c/3.2s with some ECs and research under my belt; will take the new MCAT before coming back for senior year. Though I can graduate in fall by major reqs completion, I may stick around to do GPA repair. May as well use that financial aid...

Hello! Long lurker, new poster here. //waves I'm a junior at UCLA sitting at a 3.5 cGPA, 3.2 sGPA (2/3rds B's, rest A's or A-'s), a slight upwards trend in all GPAs, and according to my major requirements, capable of graduating next quarter (though by the looks of it, it'd be wiser for me to...

Selling a UCLA School of Dentistry license plate - $35. Excellent condition. I live in Westwood so we can set up a time to meet. Please email me as I don't check this forum ([email protected]). Thanks.

Hi everybody, Less than a week left before the deadline and I'm freaking out :help: I know both are great options and I can't go wrong with either but that's what makes this so difficult haha I'm leaning towards UCLA because of in state tuition but I'd love to hear your opinions! I'm interested...

Planning on going Pre-Med and I am a transfer student, entering at a junior standing. Got accepted into University of Georgia Athens under Biology/Pre-Med. Got accepted into UCLA as a Geography Major (Second choice major, not allowed to switch into a life science). According to many people...

So, this is the first post I've ever made on SDN. I've come to the site multiple times to research pre-med questions and get answers about how to go to med school, the MCAT, ECs, etc. I'm not quite sure if I would be considered a non-traditional student, but here's why I think I might...

Hello All, I have been fortunate enough to gain acceptance to two of my top choices for my medical education and I am having a difficult time making the decision. UC Davis is much closer to home (Gilroy) and my entire support network. The cost of living is much more reasonable and I liked the...

Hey Everyone, Here goes my first post on SDN! Just as a little background about myself: I'm a US resident from the Northeast/New England area and I'm hoping to end up at a medical school in the states. As the title suggests, I'm currently making my decision about where to go for pre-med and I...

Hi, I got accepted into the following schools: UC Berkeley UC Santa Barbara (honors program) UCLA UCSD UC Irvine (honors program) UC Davis University of Rochester However, I can't seem to be able to determine which school(s) is best for pre-med. What are your thoughts/opinions? Thank you

I have always heard that getting into schools such as Columbia/Cornell/NYU/UCLA is hard obviously but I was wondering what they think of re invention? I did absolutely horrible my first year and decided that college wasn't for me and transferred to a different college. I have had nearly or...

Hi everyone, as the title indicates I was admitted to both UCB and UCLA for undergrad with a major in Integrative Biology for Berkeley and Biology for UCLA, but I can't decide where to go. Honestly I'd be fine with either living in Berkeley or in Westwood, but I'm wondering which college would...

Trying to decide between the programs. I wish I had a better understanding between the differences between DGSOM and CDU/UCLA, but thinks change a bit when considering the additional support given at PRIME. It seems like UCLA Prime-Drew comes with more BENEFITS than just UCLA Prime, but what are...

Graduated UCSB 2014 with B.S. Biopsychology. Plenty of shadowing experience, good LORs, plenty of volunteering, some research experience, applying for more research opportunities. Still need to take the MCAT (probably this summer after I finish Biochem, I know I will do extremely well) cGPA =...

any advice? Looking for a pro-con list other than location/weather and hoping to go into orthopedic surgery. Anyone know if either school has any big name orthopedics?

Okay so both schools are out of state for me as I am a Florida resident, however, I would like to see what everyone has to say about the two schools. Things already obvious to me are that UCLA is in a better city, they conduct great research, and in my opinion they're well rounded to satisfy...

Why do some school's websites say they have "no state preference" for applicants, but they clearly do? UCLA's website says "No preference is given to state of residence." But UCLA is 85% people from California. UCLA also interviewed about 4% of OOS apps and 13% of IS apps. Am I missing something??

hey guys, I'm applying for UCLA preceptorship program in 2016! anyone on the same boat??
