^ I know, but it’ll include more math and physics than a regular bio/premed degree and at least decrease the number of classes to take before any kind of switchis possible. Switching to Engineering for grad school, to the best of my knowledge, is only possible for Phyiscs majors, and not all of them – all in all, for a premed Engineering sounds like a not-yet-thought out Plan B.
I hope OP’s child is successful at UCSC and finds a passion for any field that becomes a real Plan B. UcSC is a terrific university with lots of strengths.
