<p>If you had questions about dropping courses you should’ve called UCSD admissions directly before you went through with any changes. CC counselors can be drastically misinformed, which many people on these forums can attest to, and are rarely familiar with the extensive detailed requirements for any specific university, let alone the more specific requirements for impacted majors at those universities. </p>

<p>Your problem isn’t so much that you dropped courses (well it kind of is), UCs can be fairly forgiving, but the fact that you dropped a major-specific lower division course like Calc 2 when you applied to an impacted major is likely going to hurt you. One year of Calc is basically a standard pre-requisite as a Biology major at the majority of the UCs. UCSD doesn’t list absolute requirements, just their lower division sequences, but you can expect that as the department is highly impacted it’s pretty much a necessity.</p>

<p>@dila
I guess theres no way of changing it, if i dont get in ill apply next year again but i am definitel keeping faith!</p>

<p>@chemnerd727</p>

<p>Wait. Biochem/Chem is NOT impacted, and is granted by the Dept. of Chemistry.</p>

<p>Biochem/Bio is, and is granted by the Dept. of Biology.</p>

<p>Biochem/Bio does NOT require Diff Eq… Biochem/Chem does.</p>

<p>If you applied under Biochem/Chem and fulfill the requirements of your TAG (60 units, 3.5+, IGETC), you will be directly admitted to Biochem/Chem.</p>

<p>So, which major did you actually apply to?</p>

1164

<p>^IIRC, chemnerd said he/she had applied to the impacted Biochem major through the Biology department, when he/she meant to apply to the other non-impacted major through the Chem department. I remember a few people making the same mistake last year, myself included.</p>

1165

<p>Yeah i did apply for biochem/bio but meant to apply for biochem/chem :frowning: but hey im hoping i get in undeclared!</p>

1166

<p>Ahh! I see. I misunderstood. If you uphold your end of the TAG, you’ll be admitted as undeclared, as Dilapidated stated.</p>

<p>Also…

<p>so where are we expecting to hear from in 2 days? and which UCs do we think will wait till the last minute (the 27th, 28th, 30th) besides the obvious berkeley</p>

1172

<p>Berkeley is going to release ever decision on the 27th. Irvine is gonna lag hard af. They told me I got in super late as a freshman (mid april) even though I was definitely a shoe in for admittance there.</p>

1173

<p>UCI and SD for sure last minute</p>

1174

<p>planning to head apr 30th hahahaha
tired of waiting.</p>

1175

<p>Whats going too happpennn tomoororrroowwwowowowow :(</p>

1176

<p>2 more days… ughhhh</p>

1177

<p>so when does the next batch come out? a friend of mine told me they come out friday and you receive a packet in the mail on sat…?</p>

1178

<p>I believe all we know at this point is that they were aiming to release the next batch “late this week”. We are speculating that it is Saturday.</p>

1179

<p>Have they released decisions over the weekend before? the Twitter account said end of the 3rd week, so maybe that means friday…assuming they are closed over the weekend.</p>

1180

<p>^Yup, the first batch was on a Saturday.</p>
