I do know where upland is, by the way. I was in marching band, so we saw upland all the time

(well, at least I think I know what you're talking about)

There is no pre-med major at Stanford. When I say I'm pre-med, I mean that I am taking the courses that are prerequisites for attending medical school, and that I plan to attend medical school after I graduate. The requirements include chemistry, biology, and physics courses, as well as a sprinkling of English and math.

So, what I meant by the second sentence of my post is that some people complete the pre-med track as a biology major (pretty common) while some people prefer to major in something else, like Poli Sci or Art History and be pre-med. For a while, I was a Psychology major and pre-med at the same time, but I switched to Biological Sciences.
