Hi i would want to major (and maybe even get a ph.d OR masters) in a foreign language, lets say FRENCH..my question is other than taking many french courses , can i still take pre-med requisites at UCLA or ANY UC at the same time bc i want to become a doctor?

PS. i don have a problem taking my pre-reqs at my cc, BUT im curious to know if UCLA OR any UC will allow me to do this

Im a German major at ASU, and I'm sure UC schools arent much different. I actually regret taking the German major, because I hate the abstract culture/philosophy courses you have to take while involved in real science. I did it because I was already fluent in German and did not want difficulties other than pre-med in my undergrad. If you want to do it, fine, I have completed pre-med courses plus a few others with no difficulty. (At ASU 45 credits completes the German major, and with 30 credits of general studies, you still have over 30 credits of electives)
My advice: do kinesiology, or if your university has it, do physiology. Its not worth it to do a foreign language if you're already fluent. I cant wait to get into med school to get out of this cultural crap.
My 2 cents.

Yes.

technically yet,
realistically, not really.
ucla is so impacted nowadays you have the lowest priority before all ucla students (unless you are an enrolled student).
