<p>Okay, so right now I don't even know if I want to do MCB (neurobiology) or psych. I don't know if I want to choose one of them to major in, major in both, or major in one and minor in the other. </p>

<p>Issues:
My senior year of high school I took a bunch of APs and depending upon if I passed the AP tests (I think I did fairly well on them but who knows), I could potentially get a lot of credit at Cal. If I passed these tests (incl. Bio, English Lit, and Psych), would I not even have to take the intro classes (like psych for my major)? And...I haven't gone to CalSO yet, but would you recommend just signing up for classes that I know FOR SURE I will be taking since I don't know my scores yet?</p>

<p>Also...would I have to take a calc class in college if I got As in both of the calc II and III (C/D) college courses I took in high school and got a 5 on my calc AB course? My dad is totally convinced that I don't have to take a single calc class, but I'm not sure that Berkeley or the med schools I might be applying to later on would agree. <strong>notice that I said calc, not stats because I know that if I major in psych I would have to take stats</strong></p>

<p>One last thing...since I'm not sure I want to be pre-med or do MCB, should I just take Chem 1A just in case? I'm worried because that and a seminar are basically the only two classes I'm sure I'm taking as of now.</p>

<p>They pretty much answer all your questions in CalSO, so I'd suggest relaxing. If you can't (and you probably can't) make sure you <em>really know</em> how to use telebears.</p>

<p>The calc tests pass you out of math 1a and 1b, but I'm pretty sure you still need math 53 which is multivariable calculus. I highly suggest not going straight to 53 unless you like crying, libraries, and crying in libraries. This goes for 54 as well.</p>

<p>I'm an EECS kid so I don't know much about your pre-med stuff, but like I said, they will sort this out for you in CalSO with patient counselors. Until then, relax. Get a tan. You'll be instantly sexier than 90% of Cal students.</p>
