SB- yes, D is premed, though she did not know that for certain as a freshman (she doesn’t like to be tied down to a plan) and she skipped Bio 1A against the advice of Berkeley advisors, but we have found them to be rather formulaic and by the book.

If you read this link, which I just saw today, you will see that it can work just fine:

D is not big on doing what every one else is doing, she wants to take the classes in which she is interested and if those don’t get her into med school then she figures med school is not the place for her.
