<p>Is it possible to take MCB 102 without having taken chem 3b/bl? I wanted to take MCB 102 this summer because I'm waiting to take Chem 3B/bl next spring with Pedersen, because I didn't get into Pedersen's 3B this spring. So, 1) Will the MCB 102 course coordinators see that I haven't taken 3B yet and kick me out? 2) Will I struggle in MCB 102 without having taken Chem 3B/BL? Is MCB 102 mostly memorization or will there be 3B synthesis questions on the exams?
Thanks!</p>
<p>i dont think you can do this, chem 3b is a strict pre-req for all upper div mcb courses</p>
<p>i’m taking mcb100a and chem 3b simultaneously… it said 3b recommended, but I don’t feel like it was needed.</p>
<p>C100A doesn’t require 3B, but 102 does. Go figure.</p>
