<h2>Bio 1B or E10</h2>

<p>I'm an intended MCB with some interests in Engineering, particularly BioEngineering. That's why I haven't decided whether to take Bio 1B or E10 yet. I've also started to work in a lab. How would you evaluate my courseload?
I also have some course specific questions:
-For Chem 3ALab, would you recommended to take lecture before or after lab?
-How is BioE 10 compared to E10?</p>

<p>Thank you for reading and helping out!!</p>

<p>I think that's quite an ambitious courseload. I dunno if you're a Japanese native or not, but regardless, that class should assign a lot of work. Chem and Japanese will be your too big classes. You will probably spend most of your time on those. Math54 is the usual amount of work for a math class. It's not easy by any means, but it's not too much work. I think this schedule is doable as long as you stay on top of your stuff. You might feel the weight of it during midterm season though.</p>

<p>Bio 1B might be full by now</p>

<p>oh yea, our bioengineering program is **** based on what i have heard. Do not do it</p>

<p>Take Bio 1B. It's a major prereq for both MCB and BioE.</p>

<p>That's a pretty tough schedule especially if you're also working in a lab.</p>

<p>For Chem 3A lab, you take it at the same time as Chem 3A. If you're talking about the time of your 1 hour lecture versus the 4 hour lab...it doesn't matter?</p>

<p>No idea how BioE 10 compares with E10 (they're new this year), but I hear E10 is not that bad.</p>

<p>I don't know if the BioE program is exactly terrible, but I'm not sure if it's worth it unless you're really interested in it.</p>

<p>actually Bio 1B is not a BioE prereq. Its not required for all bio majors. NST doesn't require it either</p>

<p>Thank you all for the responses!! They will help me decide my courseload next semester.
I hope I get my classes, however.
I did get my Bio 1B class, but I'm waitlisted for:
Chem 3AL - 54th place
Math 54 - 51th place
Japanese 28th place</p>

<p>I've talked to the Japanese professor and she told me she will get me a place in the class. I'm worried about my other waitlisted classes, though.</p>
