Pre-med at UCLA sucks w/ Rene Guerra
Комедия
My roommate and I talk about our experiences being pre-med in college, specifically at UCLA. We've been pre-med for almost 4 years now, so we decided to offer some perspective.

I have never related more to a video in my entire life. Thank you guys for bringing light to a topic that shows that UCLA has a lot of flaws and isn’t all sunshine. I wish more people would be honest about their experience at UCLA but people will always brush over the bad things about this school

Transparency is really important
Hey man, thanks for all the great info. Just committed to UCLA and now I'm watching all these videos about how hard being a Pre-Med there truly is. Yikes, I'm scared but it's nice to get some unfiltered advice.

Despite all of this, UCLA has been the BEST time of our lives so far. I've learned so much about myself and the world during my time here, and I'm going to really miss it once I graduate in June!
Good helpful info for freshman premeds.

thanks my dude
Hey thank you so much for the insights, I'm entering UCLA as a freshman this fall. I was wondering how do you think my experience would differ if I was interested in majoring in something Bio related (like neuroscience) but not as pre-med. I was thinking more of going to grad school and doing research in the field. Given how cutthroat competitive pre-med is and I'd be in the same classes is it a path you'd recommend (even if I have a different end goal - and I need a high GPA for grad school)

I'm a firm believer in studying what you're interested in during your time in undergrad- given that you're interested in biology (i.e., neuroscience, psychobiology, ecology, etc.), it will be a different experience altogether since GPAs are not weighted equally, in this case. This advice is not official advice for getting into grad school; however, what I have noticed that GPAs around 3.0-3.5 get into their desired master's/PhD programs since more emphasis is placed on department faculty you wish you work with/meet. Yes, classes will remain difficult; however, in my opinion, there is a lot less pressure than medical school (i.e., needing a near perfect GPA for medical school admissions).

Thank you so much for the advice! Would this mean it’s also more important to reach out to programs and grow relations with my own department faculty? I will keep this in mind.

Hi my name is Jackie, I’m pre-med. Going to UCLA this fall, would you mind sharing the classes you took. I really don’t know. If you could, if not could you share some insight in what classes you felt less prepared for and felt were definitely hard? Please and Thank you.

Honestly, all of the flaws/complaints you’ve mentioned in this video are problems that exist at every other private/public large university.

This is true- just highlighting our own experiences at UCLA, however!
