<p>I've heard a lot of varied opinions on this question, and I want to find out if double-majoring in a Math and a Life Science is too much.</p>
<p>For next quarter (im a freshman): Is it too much to take 3 Math/ Science classes at a time...i.e. Chem 14B, Chem Lab 14BL, and Math 32A...in addition to a GE? </p>
<p>For the coming years is it too much to take 3 of the "harder" Math/Science classes at a time...ie. physics 6A, ls 1, and math 33A?</p>
<p>Also, what is you view on taking the chem labs? during the year, or summer?</p>
<p>(If taking 3 m-s classes at a time is unreasonable, I'll forget about finishing the math 30 series and just sticking to a plain life science major.)</p>
<p>That is false. You can take the 6 series if you are in the Math 30 series, Math 32A replaces Math 3C for the requisite. The only problem is that I believe you have to take the Physics 1 series if you want to major in math.</p>
<p>For math, I’m seeking department approval for the Math/ Applied Science inidividual planned major ([UCLA</a> Department of Mathematics](<a href=“Undergraduate Program | UCLA Department of Mathematics”>Undergraduate Program | UCLA Department of Mathematics)). I know most math majors require the physics 1 series, but I’m hoping they’ll approve my plan for the 6 series – if not I’ll pursue a minor in math – which will still require me to complete the 30 series.</p>
<p>Obviously it will depend a bit on the person and how much time your other class demands, but in general it’s very doable. You’ll end up having to do it several quarters, and you may find that it’s no problem at all and you want to do it.</p>
<p>I am doing it. It’s manageable. It’s fun. It gets a lot of classes done quickly. The main thing is you have to LIKE the classes you are taking and LOVE what you are studying. You can trudge along 1-2 classes you don’t like a quarter but 3+ things you don’t like will make you miserable you.</p>
<p>Also, if you were the type of kid who had to study a ton in high school to get the grades you did, do not do it. I am telling you now you should avoid it. You will not have enough time to pass the classes. If you were the type of kid that had to do the average or less than average amount/time to study and get comparable grades to the kids that studied a ton in your high school be prepared to study a lot with that schedule, but you will be fine.</p>
