<p>@mom2collegekids - Thanks for your input! Right, I totally agree with talking to FA and all that about my third year. And I know there’s no unit ceiling to stay only two years, but being premed AND english means that if I wanted to finish in two years and do ALL my premed work, I’m going to have to cram way too many classes in my 4 semesters. so I figure if I stay three years ( there will be a unit ceiling of 130), but for my specific situation, it’s okay, because I completed 36 units at my community college BEFORE I graduated high school. The unit ceiling has an exception for those students who did college coursework before graduating high school, where those course units will not be entered into their unit circle, which is cool for me! So basically, normally transfers enter with 60 units into their unit ceiling at arrival to Cal, but for me, only 24 of my 60 transferrable units will be going into my unit ceiling since I completed 36 of my units before I graduated high school. Therefore, I think now I’m just planning on staying three years, do as much premed as I can in the first two year (about 4 or 6 courses), and then finish the rest of my premed courses in my third year. The only factor I have to keep an eye on in this situation is the one you brought up about whether FA will cover my third year or not for me, which I’ll ask about when I visit at the end of this week and I’ll let you know incase you were wondering. </p>
<p>Thanks for everyone’s help! I think I’ve figured out how to do this now and it is Do-able!
For all you humanities majors out there, it IS possible to be premed and if you really want it, go for it! :)</p>
