ccc bio transfer to UC

<p>hi, sorry if theres already a thread like this but anyways heres my question: will my chances be hurt if i apply to a UC without finishing all the assist classes needed for boi majors. i have done everything except o-chem lab ( b/c i could not get into the class b/c it was soo crowded) and physics. igetc completed.</p>

<p>gpa: about 3.6-3.7
units: 80+
honors program
work 20 hrs/wk
applying to: 1. UCB 2.UCSD 3. UCLA 4. UCSF ... anyother suggestions for bio majors?</p>

<p>unrelated question: does the essay matter THAT much regarding acceptance? unfortunately i really don't have much of an awe inspiring story to write about. and feel free to tell me my chances.</p>
