<p>for premed. what's better gpa wise..?</p>
<p>Toxicology. It is also more useful for a career in research in case med school doesn't work out. Too many people have molecular bio degrees these days, whereas knowledge of toxicology is high in demand in clinical-phase research. </p>
<p>The coursework in Integrative Bio and Public Health would be more relevant to med school.</p>
<p>toxicology. everyone and their mother is MCB</p>
<p>cause i'm in the College of chemistry right now. I'm either switching into L&S or CNR.
is it gonna be difficult switching to CNR?</p>
<p>can i take math 1a then math 16b. would that still count as 1 year of math for premed??
i heard 1b.. is killer?</p>
<p>1b is okay.</p>
<p>Also.. how come not a lot of premeds don't take chem 1b?</p>

<p>I think your usage of double negative misconstrues what you wanted to ask, which is 'why don't most premeds take chem 1b?'</p>
<p>It's simple: Chem 1A + Chem 3A counts as 2 semesters of gen chem and Chem 3B + MCB 102 counts as 2 semesters of organic chem. MCB 102 also doubles as a biochemistry course. Most med schools require 1 year of gen chem, 1 year of ochem, and a recommended semester of biochem. For premeds from other colleges, that would take 2.5 years to finish. However, Berkeley premeds finish the entire sequence and the recommended semester of biochem in 2 years.</p>
<p>oops.. LOL. yea. that's what i meant.
oh.. Ok. I think I'll go with that then cause I'm considering switching into CNR molecular toxicology, and mcb102 is required for my major. so i guess. Ill go with that.
Thanks.
Also.. another question.. physics..8a.. start this spring or next fall?
What about chem 3a?</p>
