<p>I am pre-med and MCB major. Here's my course schedule so far.</p>
<p>Math 16a--3 units
Chem 1a--4 units
English R1a or R1B--4 units
(something else)--2 or 3 units.</p>
<p>Any suggestion for that last course? Any course that pre-med should specifically take?</p>
<p>I believe MCB requires the Math 1A-1B series, doesn't it?</p>
<p>Yup, I was right...here are the lower division requirements from the website:</p>
<p>Lower-division pre-requisites
Math 1A, 1B, Calculus
Chemistry 1A, General Chemistry*
Chemistry 3A, 3AL, 3B, 3BL, Organic Chemistry*
Biology 1A + 1AL, 1B, General Biology
Physics 8A, 8B, Introduction to Physics</p>
<p>@BlueElmo, so you decided not to take physics in your first semester? Are you gonna take it in your second semester?</p>
<p>I got a 5 on BC test so I waive out anyway. I take 16 series only for medical schools.</p>
<p>Dont know when Im gonn take physics. Theonlyone, what courses are you taking?</p>
<p>I'm lookin at MCB as of right now but not neccesarily for med-school. I'm thinkin my classes look like this.</p>
<p>Math 1B
Chem 1A
Physics 7A
Rhetoric 10
History 24 sec.2 (seminar)</p>
<p>Thats 18 Units!</p>
<p>I didn't decide on what classes to take. I will just decide before my orientation. </p>
<p>By the way, what's the math class should I take in order to fulfill the medical school requirement? Math 1A, 1B, 16A, 16B, or something else?</p>
<p>Eek, clapyourfeet, looks like you'll have a full load, and then some.</p>
<p>if we sign up for too many units, will acadmic advisors at calso change our schedule for us, current Berkeley students?</p>

<p>They will point at you and laugh, and then throw carrots at you.</p>
<p>You can only sign up for 10.5 units in phase one, I believe, even freshmen.</p>
<p>What should I drop? I'm thinking of taking second semister calculus at a CC this summer.</p>
<p>What's your situation? I think that would be fine, if you want. 18 units, especially with the classes your taking and labs, migth be a lot.</p>
<p>Situation? I'm taking CC classes for sure this summer while working. I want to keep doing physics since I took AP Physics C this year, enjoyed it, and I think Physics 7ab would look better than Physics 8ab on my transcript. In order for my to take Physics 7a I need to be either finished with or taking Math 1b concurrently. My local CC offers the equivilent of Math 1B so I might as well just take it over the summer. Other than that I want to take lots of sciences but don't want to drop doing humanities. I'm definatly double majoring, but haven't decided which two I will pursue.</p>
<p>Sounds good. By situation I also was thinking of future plans, such as med school, or MCB major, which require certain things. It sounds like you have things under control.</p>
<p>What do you expect out of Rhetoric 10? Who's teaching?</p>
<p>My future plans are up in the air. I just want to, for now, keep my options open and those are pretty general major pre-requisite classes when looking at the science majors I might be interested in.</p>
<p>For Rhetoric I expect "an introduction to practical reasoning and the critical analysis of argument" haha. Im choosing it over History 10 and English 45A because of I've heard great things about Coffeen, who just so happens to be teaching it this semester.</p>
<p>He's great, it's true.</p>
<p>Is he teaching the class 1st semester in the fall? What makes him so great? How many units is the class? I'm curious, as the class and prof sound interesting.</p>
<p>Coffeen is teaching Fall, and the class is 4 units.</p>
<p>BTW, is having Physics 7A from 2-3:30 TuTh and then Rhet10 from 3:30-5:00 TuTh a good idea? Is there really such thing as Berkeley time and will the walk from LeConte to Barrows be that bad?</p>
<p>So great? his personality. The ideas he presents are also interesting. The reading is, too, and I like the style- shorter passages you're supposed to know well, not long passages you're supposed to know sort of.</p>
<p>LeConte to Barrows is prety minimal. You'll be fine. Berkeley time does exist, although it sometimes irritates me when people call it that. But maybe that's just me.</p>
