| B.A. is a bachelor of arts and B.S. is a bachelor of science. It doesn't really make a difference in the end-- it's just a name. |

| It's competitive, in my opinion there isn't a definitive average GPA because a lot of pre-meds who don't do well just give up and find something else to do. It's definitely tough to get A's (you REALLY have to work for them) and you need a really high GPA to have a good shot at med school (I'm thinking 3.5+, which is pretty darn high). Quote:

| Wash $1.50, dry $1.00.
The first few months you try the food it will probably be amazing, if your high school is anything like the average American high school. Then you'll try the nearby restaurants and then the dining halls will pale in comparison. Then you realize that you have to go to the dining hall because you have all these points to spend so you start holding a grudge against it and calling it names behind its back. | |

| How respectable is Cal's IR undergrad program? I can't find a major listed; I'm assuming it's an Interdisciplinary program? Anybody can help with information on that? | |

| How helpful are the people at CalSO when you're choosing classes? The website says to have a list of classes you want to take and write down the schedule, but I want input/advice from people at CalSO about which classes to take...
so basically, how prepared should I be before going to CalSO? | |

Cal doesn't have a major titled International Relations, but IR is a subfield of Political Science, and the department offers many classes on the topic. There are also other IR-esque majors such as Asian Studies, PEIS, etc.. which may be more of what you're looking for.
As far as how prestigious the departments are, I don't know about the others, but the PS department is supposed to be pretty good. | |

From my exp. and opinion, I don't think the people at CalSO are helpful in helping you choose your classes. They will help you with general problems and issues, like scheduling and stuff like that, but I say it's best to be as prepared as possible BEFORE CalSO.
Also, try to ask these questions on during times (for instance, during lunch) OTHER than the time you're in the computer lab registering for your courses, because at that time, they simply won't have as much time to give you thorough advice. | |
