<p>if im applying to a biology major am i an applicant for a Bachelor of Science degree? if so how many teacher recs do i need?</p>

2

<p>if im applying to biology major
am i automatically applying under Bachelor of Science degree?</p>

3

<p>yea u need 3 i think</p>

4

<p>you are not automatically applying for a ScB, you could go for an BA in bio, and would only need 2 recs. It's what I did last year. Well technically I applied as a double BA in Bio and Classics.</p>

5

<p>i<em>wanna</em>be_Brown:</p>

<p>I want to double major in Bio and Classics too! Do you have AIM? Would you be willing to chat with me?</p>

6

<p>can i just go for BA when applying only to a bio major?
cuz i dont wanna double major in classic or other major like you did.
and also, i dont wanna get 3 teacher recs.</p>

7

<p>i think so. if its under list of BA concentrations then u can</p>

8

<p>BA concentration?
what is that?</p>

9

<p>no theres a list when u apply, that lists the concentrations under BA and concentrations under BSc
if bio is in both, then u can say u're applying for bio under BA or BSc, whatever u want</p>

10

<p>BA is straight up bachelor's degree, it might be an AB here actually, and I am not going to actually get a formal degree in classics, I will just take the occasional class here or there.</p>

11

<p>does anyone know if biology is under BA ScB or both?</p>

12

<p>its on the app. u doing the online one? cause it says so real nice and simple there... its should be on paper too, but thats just harder to find...</p>

<p>Ok look, there are two bio degrees, AB and ScB. AB requires 14 classes, ScB requires 20. Here are the requirements for ALL concentrations: <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Registrar/concentration.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Registrar/concentration.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Do yourself a favor and just put AB on your app. Its not going to matter what you write down for now. </p>

<p>And you aren't "applying for" a bio major. As long as you get in, you can do whatever major you want. I seriously doubt what major you indicate on your application has that much bearing on your admissions decision, either.</p>
