Can I transfer to UC by missing one pre-requisite major class?!

<p>I'm currently studying in a california community college.
I have applied to all the UC schools last fall. so this fall Im planning to transfer.
My major is Physics, there are more or less 10 classes required for physics major to transfer to UC on assist.org, but i only finished 9 out of 10 classes. I won't be able to take chemistry101 by spring 2013 (which is the pre-requisite in lower division for physics major).
I have finished all the maths and physics classes they are asking me to take.
and I will finish my IGETC before I transfer.</p>

<p>But now i'm really worried, because all of the UC schools are asking me to take chemistry 101.
Will the UC schools reject me because I am missing one of my major class?</p>

<p>BTW, I am not an international student. I'm a native student with federal financial aid. I heard for international student, it's easier to get accepted by missing some of the major classes because the universities want money from the international students. What about for local student with financial aid? That means I can't afford my tuition fees if FAFSA doesn't support me. Will UC be more strict with the students like me on the pre-requistes issues?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Cal, LA, and Irvine are really strict on getting prereqs done to my knowledge. However, you should still have a good shot at the others. Especially if your GPA is good.</p>

<p>The physics major at Berkeley does not require any chemistry courses, although it is recommended to take some if you have not had a “substantial high school chemistry course”.</p>

<p>Check the ASSIST pages for the various campuses to see what is actually required for admission and what is not.</p>
