Advice For Freshmen

1. Plan on taking Bio Sci 93 and Chem 1A during your FALL QUARTER OF FRESHMEN YEAR  

2. Realize that your Freshmen grades DO matter; admissions committees will see all of your grades throughout your college career

3. Start researching clinical programs, shadow opportunities, and research labs that you might want to join in the future

4. Pursue something you're passionate about (that's unrelated to medicine); this could help you stand out to admissions committees  

5. JOIN AMSA AT UCI! We can personally help you with any questions you might have about medical school as well as connect you with clinical opportunities, volunteer opportunities, research opportunities, a network of friends, and much more!
