<p>But what if these are classes that you had to take P/NP?
Like Frosh seminars and some fine art classes?
Will they count against you?</p>
<p>Of course they will count against you. But Graduate schools know that some stuff has to be pass/no pass. Every Bioengineer at UCSD has to take BENG 1 which is P/NP. A lot of the 199 classes are P/NP and those are heavily taken by future Graduate students.</p>
<p>As long as you take math, science, composition, social science, etc and classes for your major as letter grades you are fine. If you are a math major and need to take an art class as a requirement, Graduate schools won’t care that you chose it to be P/NP.</p>
<p>What if I took community college classes that won’t be factored into the UC gpa? I can still send in those grades right?</p>
<p>I hope that doesn’t penalize me…</p>
<p>roflkeke’s post are helpful</p>

<p>Send those to Graduate school? Of course. I have a bunch of credit from my AP Classes, I will be sending those for sure when I apply. As long as the credit is from a degree-credited school, Graduate schools will accept it.</p>
<p>ahh do students usually bring desktops to dorm? if so…does Warren triple has space for that?
I started to worry that my pc is too big for the dorm-_-</p>
<p>Is it a normal desktop? Or is it like a full tower?</p>
<p>Okay, I got one!</p>
<p>Does the school lend small refrigerators to students living in dorms like some other schools? Thanks!</p>
<p>I personally would just bring a lap top =/. I’m sure you’ll have enough room for a desktop though.</p>
<p>I haven’t heard of any program that loans fridges.</p>
<p>Pretty sure no about the refrigerator. And pretty sure you have room for any sized computer. You might have to put it beside the desk in a different spot, but you can make it work.</p>
<p>Oh nevermind. I read this site <a href=“Human Developmental Sciences”>Human Developmental Sciences; and a fridge is not listed as provided. :(</p>
<p>For those ppl above, <a href=“Current Students”>Current Students; has an approximation of desk size.</p>
<p>thanks a lot roflkeke and jv1122
TienIsCoolX: it’s a mid-tower…but with a full-tower size (well almost o_O)
btw you added me in facebook a long time ago right?</p>
<p>I did??? What’s your name?</p>
<p>How’s the prebioE-premed major? From what I understand (and I hope I’m wrong), it seems like they made this major because if someone wanted to do bioE with the pre-med reqs, he or she would for sure not graduate in five years. Consequently, UCSD cut down the classes of the bioE major to make room for the pre-med reqs. The problem with this is that even if you graduate with a degree in this major, you lose accreditation as an engineer, since they cut out some engineer classes for pre-med classes. Now, I’m as dedicated as the next pre-med kid, but we all know that the acceptance rate of med school applicants is ridiculously low. I’m set on being a physician, but I wouldn’t mind being a bio-engineer. I would hate, however, to be stuck without a job because my major is not accredited and I did not make it into med school. thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Every Bioengineer major learns the fundamentals of Bioengineering. They all take the classes that teach the essentials, so to say. Bioengineering goes into some more specifics. Also, Bioengineering/BioTech has the design project. Pre-Med was made for people who want to go to medical school, because the classes you take are specific classes for medical school. If you are scared that you won’t be competitive with just a pre-med degree, you can substitute some TEs for Bioengineering classes. Basically, you can make up the stuff you didn’t have to take.</p>
<p>Bottom line: If you really want, the department will let you take the same curriculum (absent the design project) as the regular Bioe major. Then if you decide to work industry with just a BS, you have the classes you need.</p>
<p>There are people that have the Pre-med degree and go on to Graduate school and industry. It’s not an empty degree, you still learn a lot of stuff.</p>
<p>^ roflkeke answered that really well.</p>
<p>very helpful thanks</p>
<p>how big are the mailboxes? what are the mailing policy (if there are any)? I tend to order a lot of stuff online, so would it be a problem if I get too many packages?
thanks!</p>
<p>Too many packages? I doubt that they can forbid you from getting any more mail. You might **** off the people handling it, but they can’t ban you from the service. I’m pretty sure the contract doesn’t put a limit on the number of packages.</p>
<p>Mailboxes? Smaller than a regular mailbox, but large enough to handle regular mail.</p>
<p>thanks roflkeke! :)</p>
