<p>I applied for an MCB major in my junior transfer application.
It has a lower division requirement of integral calculus, which I had initially said I would complete by the end of summer but am no longer to do so. However, major pre-reqs were not stipulated in my contract of admission.
Therefore, if I wasn't able to complete the lower division requirement of integral calculus, does that mean I will be unable to apply for the major I want in Fall 2008? Or would I have to make up the course somehow once I transfer down? And by not completing the lower division requirement, doesn't that preclude me from taking upper division courses in the field I want?</p>
<p>Your best bet will be to contact your admission officer and explain to him or her about your situation and ask for the best possible solution for this matter.</p>
<p>According to assist.org:
You must complete all lower-division requirements, with the exception of
physics, before transfer. Complete the equivalent of:
BIOLOGY 1A, BIOLOGY 1AL, + BIOLOGY 1B<br>
CHEMISTRY 1A + CHEMISTRY 1B<br>
CHEMISTRY 3A, 3AL, 3B, + 3BL (or 112A + 112B)<br>
MATH 1A + MATH 1B </p>
<p>However, according to MCB</a> Undergraduate Program - Declaring the MCB Major , In order to declare the MCB major, you must have completed Biology 1A/1AL and Chemistry 3B</p>
<p>If I were you, I would check with the admission officer that your application won't get rescinded because you failed to complete a required class before you transfer.</p>
<p>i'm in the same situation... i said i would take advanced composition in the summer (assist says its a "pre-requisite for admission"), I got admitted, and in the contract of admissions it only demanded that i complete the classes that i was taking now (this spring), and made no mention of advanced composition.</p>
<p>I emailed a counselor asking her if i could take the class this summer at berkeley, and this is the response i got: "You may take the class in summer at UC Berkeley summer session. We do not require you to take summer class unless you need them to meet eligibility requirements."</p>
<p>I emailed her back, asking her to clarify (so i HAVE TO take the class this summer?)... I'm about to call a councilor on monday... i'll keep you posted, and please keep me posted..</p>
<p>I am also an MCB major. On my conditions page, it specifically states that one stipulation of admissions is that I finish my integral calc by the end of spring, which I had listed on my application. I also listed that I would take multivariable calculus in the summer, but that wasn't listed under my conditions.</p>
<p>My admissions officer told me to contact the college of L&S, which I thought was weird.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if an AP Biology score of 5 can replace te BIOL1A/1AL requirement?</p>
