Only 200 spots available at UCSD for Biology Transfer...How can I get one?

<p><em>reviving this thread from last year</em></p>

<p>For Biochemistry and Cell Biology, the math prereqs to transfer from De Anza to UCSD are Math 1A/B/C/D, but on assist.org it shows Math 1C/D as equal to Math 20C at UCSD.</p>

<p>Do you think they’d mind if I took Math 1A/B at De Anza and then, instead of taking 2 classes, just took Math 20C there? Math 1C and 1D will be the only prerequisites missing from my application, but I’ll be taking a year of Ochem to possibly balance it out.</p>
