<p>I got accepted to my alternative major, biochem/chem, and not physiology & neuroscience because it's impacted.</p>
<p>So..what does this really mean? (besides the fact that i got denied from the impacted major)</p>
<p>ty^^</p>
<p>you pretty much got it.</p>
<p>biochem/chem isn’t binding, but it’s a place to start. and being a chem major will give you priority enrollment for some upper-division chemistry classes (well, say, over non-chemistry majors).</p>
<p>it’s an awesome major, btw. possibly the most awesome one.</p>
<p>ty for the reply[:</p>
<p>uhm…but does that mean i cant major in neuroscience?
because…thats really what i want to do…
orr does it just mean i cant have that major right now since people will probably drop out of it later?</p>
<p>just google it: [enrollment</a> management](<a href=“http://biology.ucsd.edu/undergrad/enrollmentmanagement.html]enrollment”>http://biology.ucsd.edu/undergrad/enrollmentmanagement.html)</p>
<p>oh. haha sorry.
thank you.</p>
<p>Does impacted mean that iz more popular?
I got admitted to Econ major, but i’d like to double major in biochem or environmental science. Are those impacted major too?
Does that mean you need to take more courses?
Just for the heck of it, whats the average number of units students take each year/semester? </p>
<p>Thx</p>

Impacted means there’s a lot of students in the major and therefore it is impacted so that more students can not get in. It’s at its quota per say. I guess you can take that to mean that it is more popular.
The only majors that are impacted are anything biology (biochem is chemistry, not biology), bioengineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering (I think, not too sure) and biochemistry - cell (again, not too sure). Double major of course means you need to take more classes. It means more GEs to graduate. </p>
<p>Average units per quarter = 16. So 16 x 3 = 48 units per a year.</p>
<p>Okay icic
Thanks so much!</p>
<p>actually, the biology dept offers a biochemistry major too.</p>
<p>ohhh so is there a difference between the biochem offered in bio department and the one offered in chemistry department?</p>
<p>yes …</p>
<p>The bio department offers biochemistry - cell and the chem department offers biochemistry - chem.</p>
<p>ohh icic
are both of them impacted majors?</p>
