My dream is to go to UC Davis and study veterinary medicine. Currently, I am a freshman in a CSU school. I have not declared a major because for some reason I am intimidated from doing so.

I looked over the UC Davis website and saw that most people who are admitted into the universities veterinary program are Biology or Chemistry majors. So I have decided to declare myself a Biology major before the end of the month.

I would like to know if anyone has any experience in transferring to UC Davis from another school to take part in their veterinary program. Do you have any advice for me?

I have spoken to my advisor and she has told me that I need to contact the school and start building a relationship with them. Does anyone who has attended the school know anyone that I should contact that might be nice enough to give me some advise? Perhaps a professor you liked while you attended school.

I have tried contacting the large animal clinic and the small animal clinic as well as the dean’s office to ask them if I am making the right decision by declaring my major, but I have not had any luck getting through to anyone.

Thank you for listening!

I'm a first year undergrad and I'm struggling to make it through school. I work a good bit and spend time with my boyfriend but i also study for tests and do my best to complete assignments. I am almost always exhausted and i often fall asleep in class. Last semester I received two Bs, two Cs, and one D. I just got a test back for statistics and I failed it and I also found out I am failing anthropology. I don't know if I should get a personal loan for next year to cover expenses(not tuition- fafsa covers most of that) and not work. I'm afraid I'm about to fail my classes and my GPA is already 2.1, if you go under 2.0 you are put on academic probation. I really feel like I'm just wasting my time and hate the thought of school but everyone keeps telling me to stick with it. What should I do?

For those who agree that true understanding of biology requires knowledge of chemistry, which in turn requires physics knowledge; and that physics should be taught before chemistry and chemistry before biology, I have a question.

Assuming I hadn't taken any biology, chemistry, or physics classes in high school, but wanted to become a doctor or scientist, what courses should I take first. I understand that since "Physics is the basis for understanding the more abstract concepts introduced in chemistry and biology," it might be wiser to begin with physics courses and end with biology courses. Although that seems like a more logical order than taking biology 1st, chemistry 2nd and physics 3rd; the math requirements of those science classes seem to run in the opposite direction. Physics usually requires the most math. Knowing this, should I take all my math classes up to calculus first, then start with physics and then go on to bio and chem? Or what?

I am a Graphic Design sophomore at a university and I have been getting good grades so far. I don't have to worry about paying tuition because my dad works for a school in the system (I even have a scholarship for books). I am part of a Christian group and I have good friends here.

I should be happy about my situation, but I have been depressed since the beginning of the semester. I just don't feel like going to my classes anymore, and already I have missed several assignments because of my apathy. I find myself going home all the time, even though I have plenty to do on campus.

I am planning to transfer to another school after this semester, but I need advice on whether or not I should drop all but one class I am taking. I would only take the art class I am now in, but drop the other classes because I feel like I am not going to improve. My parents would not be happy about my dropping so many classes and living at home.
