Pre Med at UCD!

<p>Hi! I’m a freshman for the fall 2011 quarter and I don’t know what classes to take my first year/first quarter. I’m planning on going to med school in the future and my major is NPB (neurobio, physio, and behavior). Thanks for any help!</p>

<p>the same classes as most people in the college of biological sciences. mat17a and che2a for sure, and probably enl3 or uwp1 and an easy class like a freshman seminar. enl3 really varies depending on your TA and how much you like english classes. it was really easy for me but my friend who was in my class absolutely hated it.</p>

<p>bis 2a, che 2a, mat17a, [any elective]</p>

<p>Please do not start with bis 2a, chem 2a, and math 17a together your first quarter unless you can transition VERY well. I would, however, take chem 2a and math 17a right off the bat with 1-2 GE’s.</p>

<p>Is Che2a/b/c a hard class to get into? What are my options if it is?</p>

<p>Yes Chem classes are very hard to get into. If you do not get in during Pass 1, don’t give up hope! (: When Pass 1 open registration starts, try to check sisweb every now and then (like every hour or if there is time, every 15 minutes). If you are lucky, someone may drop and you can take their spot. Sometimes, if the demand for any class is really high, they will add more classes. That was what happened to Chem 2B last winter quarter, 6 more sections were added. Also, when pass 2 comes, waitlist! When the quarter starts, try to go to every possible lab that can fit into your schedule. A tip is not to be picky and try to waitlist for classes with very few people on the waitlist, even if it means having a 7pm lab time. You will have an even higher chance of getting in. One more tip I can give is to check sisweb after the final exam or when the final grade is released. Some people will drop the chem class they are currently enrolled if they didn’t do well in the previous chem class.</p>

<p>Basically, just check sisweb all the time! </p>

<p>If you can’t get chem during the fall, you can always try again in winter (:</p>

<p>what are some possible GE’s for first year, first quarter?</p>

<p>lol, basically intro to blank, or even any lower div class that fulfills GEs. GEs are GEs. all of them are possible.</p>
