<p>I am attending UCLA beginning this fall 2008 as an undeclared major, yet I have begun to search my options for a major. What I was wondering was if it is realistically possible to complete a double major with Biochemistry B.S. and Anthropology B.S. ...I mean, I know, maybe it sounds crazy, but it looks like a lot of the pre-req.'s are the same and I really like the idea of that combination, but me being a novice to this whole college thing and all, I'm not sure if this is even possible to complete in 4 years! So sorry to be repetitive, but is this possible to complete while still having some free time and enjoying life at UCLA or is this overkill? thanks for your time.</p>
<p>P.S. If anyone also has info on Chem 20A and 20B which are requirements and GEs for the major (basic thoughts on whether to take these right away over the 14 series of classes?) basically, I'm just baffled on what to take and how to take chem 20A and 20B without overlapping? do they need to be taken separate quarters? I'm very confused with all of this, and maybe I need to just wait til orientation to understand it all, but me being the curious being that I am, I want to know how this all works now so I don't go in blind, so please, any info on taking classes and declaring majors is much appreciated! thank you very much!</p>
<p>-As a biochemistry major you need to take the 20 series in Chem and the 31 series in Math. </p>
<p>-You're required to take Chem 20A and also Math 31A before taking Chem 20B.</p>
<p>-Chem 14 series are for the life-science majors. They are said to be less in-depth than the 20 series. There is a considerable number of students who wish they had taken the 14 series instead.</p>
<p>-For Math 31 series, you will be competing with the math majors and engineering majors. </p>
<p>-You can definitely have fun at UCLA but it kinda depends on your academic goals. If you're a pre-med and looking to get 3.7+, then you're probably be spending a lot of time studying, especially if you are biochemistry major (unless you're one of the chemistry genius).</p>
<p>so just by taking chem 20 and 30 series that covers the 14 series requirement (14a and 14b is the life sci version of 20a and 20b, the rumor is that it is easier and better chance to get good grades in since all the pre meds care about GPA more than anything else, 14c and 14d are ochem which is the same as 30a and 30b) the math 31 series is similar situation as premeds gets the 3 series for themselves the engineers and math majors do 31 series... i did/doing the chem 20 series and math 31/32/33 series for engineering and I have to say it is pretty hard to get an A in those classes... maybe im just dumb :(</p>
