<p>Does anyone know what the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major in UCI is like?</p>
<p>[School</a> of Biological Sciences - Undergraduate Programs](<a href=“UCI General Catalogue Archives”>UCI General Catalogue Archives)</p>
<p>Those are the graduation requirements. </p>
<p>I’m sorry, but if you ask really vague questions, you’re going to have to settle for really vague answers.</p>
<p>Most of the biochem people i knew were doubling with a chem major.</p>
<p>Except that question is pretty specific, you just don’t know the answer. Nor do I.</p>
<p>Despite what the name my say, biochem and what not is focused much far more on the bio side than the chem side. That being said, there is a lot of memorization. I remember hearing the virology courses being particularly bad.
In terms of jobs, I can’t say. Everyone I knew doing it is/was applying to med/pharm school.
Something to note is your lower div bio classes are basically the same no matter what your major is (93-94, 97-98-99).</p>
<p>Again, I’m not sure what kind of information you’re looking for. Are you interested in research opportunities? how MB&B compare to other bio majors/other schools? What are the students like? Are there lots of electives offered? How are the teachers?
This is what I mean by “what’s it like?” being a vague question.</p>
<p>You think your future employer or grad school interviewer is going to ask you what the electives were offered in your engineering major?</p>
<p>No they don’t go easy on you. They will ask you, so what was the materials science like at UCI? And stopping short and telling them it was a vague question is the last thing you want to do.</p>
<p>
No, you ask them to elaborate. </p>
<p>But maybe I’m wrong. So please correct me. I googled a few lists of [url=<a href=“http://jobsearch.about.com/od/interviewquestionsanswers/a/interviewquest.htm]common[/url”>Job Interview Questions, Answers, and Tips To Prepare]common[/url</a>] [url=<a href=“http://www.usatoday.com/careers/resources/interviewcommon.htm]interview[/url”>http://www.usatoday.com/careers/resources/interviewcommon.htm]interview[/url</a>] [url=<a href=“http://www.iseek.org/jobs/interviewquestions.html]questions[/url”>Get Hired Toolkit - Job Hunt Tips to Help You Get the Job | UniversityHQ]questions[/url</a>]. Which questions are similar to “What was xxxx like at UCI?”? The closest I could find is “Describe yourself”, but that seems more like an ice breaker/small talk rather than a question designed to ascertain specific information. (vs., say, “What can you do for us that someone else can’t do?”, which seems fairly specific in my mind.)</p>
<p>
No, but an incoming student might.
And your employer might ask which electives you took, but this is really splitting hairs and getting us nowhere.</p>
<p>Rule #1 of any interview is that anything you put on your application is fair game son.</p>
<p>You think they want to dig inside of you? Let’s be more realistic now, unemployment is sky-high these days, they will toss you aside if you can’t take the initiative and sell yourself at a competitive rate.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’re right. I totally thought this was just a random person (probably a freshmen) asking a question to get information and make an informed decision. It was really a practice interview.
Now I’ll be unemployed forever ='[</p>
<p>^ :] 10char, Work it flemmyd</p>
<p>You never know, don’t underestimate anyone bro. He’s gonna be your employer someday and you’re rude to him? Sad</p>
<p>It’s k tho, you can still be useless and uninformative on cc for a living as long as I’m not watching. lol</p>
