<p>I don't intend on this being a "chance me" thread even though it will sound that way, but how much will completing the IGETC as a biochemistry major help me? I started at my CCC as a history major and changed it this past year to biochem, so unlike many science majors, I will have completed both my IGETC and science pre-reqs. Am I correct in thinking that this will help my chances getting into UCLA? Or any of the other UC's for that matter? My GPA is 3.65 just for reference.</p>
<p>No, A LOT of people complete their IGETCs in time. But completing your major prep for biochemistry, which has a lot of courses, will help you out a lot.</p>
<p>Ya completing IGETC won’t really put you at such an advantage it would only be a disadvantage if you didn’t complete it…or at least i think so. its mostly based on ur gpa and whether or not u have completed or will complete the classes for your major. and of course having ECs and being TAP certified boosts your application up.</p>
<p>Right on, thanks guys. And will have an an AA in chemistry and an AA in biology help my cause? Or are they just a couple of pretty certificates to put on my wall?</p>
<p>pretty much certificates lol. UCs esp UCLA don’t require AA degree its not gonna help u or hurt you.</p>
