<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>So I originally applied to UCSD as a Biochem major; I ended up realizing that I wanted to apply techniques in my field instead of simply studying it, and enjoyed the bridge with CompSci that BioE has. Obviously, BioE and BioE: Biotech are impacted, so I'm planning on applying in my sophomore year there; has anyone done this? And if so, how hard/rigorous are the 9 courses you have to take to apply? Anyways, to protect myself, if I don't get in to those, I'm going to enroll in BioE: BioSystems cause I'm not a fan of Bioinformatics. My question is, I really don't want the stigma of a degree from a non-accredited major, so how long will it be before ABET accredits it?</p>
