is it possible to declare my major is in pre-medicine and then switch to pre-pharmacy if i get into ucla?

Question

i heard that some uc's require specific sat subject tests for specific majors. i want to do pre pharmacy studies and that requires an emphasis in chemistry. but as a junior this year, i am taking ap biology therefore later i am taking the sat subject test for bio. i will take ap chemistry next year but is it too late? since college applications are due next year for me on november 30, i wont have enough knowledge by then to take the SAT subject test for chemistry. so is it possible to declare my major is biology and say i want to do pre medicine instead and if i get into ucla and change my major then?
please help

Answer 3

Pre-med/pharm are not a major. They are just a set of recommended courses to take. Most colleges allow you to change your major as much as you want. At my school, for undergrad, all you have to do is fill out a form and get it signed by someone in the department.

Answer 4

pre med is not a real major, you can pick any major you want liek bioology, chemistry, etc. And dont worry about the test just pick any too you think you are going to de best. What counts is the score. Once you get to college you can change your major to whatever you want as many times as you want.
