<p>Hi everyone, I'm a spring 2012 admit (molecular bio major in the College of L&S), and I've got to choose between FPF and CC for this fall.</p>
<p>My question is.. with the following AP scores: AP Calculus BC-5, AP Spanish-4/5, AP English-4/5, would FPF be worth the extra cost, considering the course availability at FPF vs CC, and my major? </p>
<p>Any advice/input is appreciated. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>are you premed? (this is very important)</p>
<p>Some people have been saying the FPF is full already.</p>
<p>If you want to take lab science courses (e.g. Chemistry 1A, Physics 7A or 8A), or math higher than 1B (which a 5 on BC allows), those are not available in FPF, but are likely to be available at a community college (see [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) ).</p>
<p>If you are a pre-med, medical schools might frown on taking courses at a community college, though you may want to ask on the pre-med forums whether taking just Chemistry 1A and/or Physics 7A or 8A there (and then the rest of the pre-med courses at Berkeley) would be detrimental.</p>
<p>@high- Yes, I do intend on completing premed requirements
@ucb - fortunately, I got off the FPF waitlist. Thanks, i’ll post a thread in the forum now! :)</p>
<p>Also, I forgot to mention that I have taken quite a few college courses throughout high schools. By the end of this semester, I will have 16 units total (PSY 101 (3), GEO 100/Human Geography (3), PHY 130/General Physics I (5), PHY 132/General Physics II (5))</p>
<p>If those courses were at a community college, use [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) to match them up with Berkeley courses. Since you did not mention which school you took them at, no one here will know what the course numbers mean.</p>
