MCB-CDB major here: should I take MCB 102 with MCB 104, 133L, or 136?

I’m currently a third year planning out my courses for the upcoming spring semester who’s considering graduating a semester early (mostly due to financial reasons).

I have no more lower div requirements to fulfill and took IB 131/131L last semester so the only classes I need to graduate are MCB 102, MCB 104, MCB 133, MCB 136 + elective.

Do you think I could do this in 2 semesters? Or 3 if I absolutely have to? (Sp28, Su18, Fa18)

I’ve heard a lot of conflicting things about how MCB 102 is a tooon of memorization but some also say it’s easier than Bio 1A so please give me your honest opinion on what you think is feasible, thanks!

All non-MCB requirements fulfilled (L&S breadth, etc.)? Enough units to graduate a semester early?

102 is a prerequisite to 104 which is a corequisite to 133L, according to http://guide.berkeley.edu/courses/mcellbi/ . Looks like 136 is not offered in the spring.

So would your plan be:

spring 2018: 102, major elective, 2 other courses
fall 2018: 104, 133L, 136, 1 other course
