<p>if we are not mcb, as far as chem reqs as a premed go, can we get away with:</p>
<p>gen chem: chem1a/chem 3a
ochem: chem 3b/mcb 102</p>
<p>or do we also need 3AL and 3BL? i know we dont need 3AL itself for 3B...does this mean the only people taking 3AL/3BL will be those who need it for their major/love chem?</p>
<p>i dont want to take 3al/3bl and kill my gpa more if i dont have to and i have TELEBEARS monday, so any help would be appreciated. thanks :)</p>
<p>No you can’t. Med schools require one year of both organic and inorganic chemistry WITH LAB.</p>
<p>BTW Chem labs are easy and usually help your grade with on average around 85-95% of the class getting A’s. The lectures like 3A and 3B are what’s going kill your GPA.</p>
<p>ok thanks cb and LH-i guess if the lab portion is easy on the gpa, no harm can be done. but LH you are wrong about needing 3Al for 3B…pasted directly from the course catalog:</p>
<p>Chemical Structure and Reactivity – Chemistry (Department Of) (CHEM) 3B [3 units]
Course Format: Three hours of lecture per week.
Prerequisites: 3A with a grade of C- or higher.
Credit option: Students will receive no credit for 3B after taking 112B.
Description: Conjugation, aromatic chemistry, carbonyl compounds, carbohydrates, amines, carboxylic acids, amino acids, peptides, proteins, and nucleic acid chemistry. Ultraviolet spectroscopy and mass spectrometry will be introduced.

<p>Well Frechet did say that this year Chem 3A will be more fast pace because I guess they will also teach NMR in Chem 3A since budget cost caused people to not be able to get into 3AL.</p>
<p>^
wait nmr is gonna be on the final? i thought we’re skipping chapter 10…</p>
<p>I’m not 100% sure, but I remember him saying something like that. I hope he doesn’t teach it at the end.</p>
