<p>Hi,
So Im a sophmore whos attending community college. I want to transfer into the school of biological sciences.
After my sophmore year I will have completed all of my IGETC prerequisites, and General Chemistry 1 and 2 and General Biology 1 and 2 and Calculus 2. </p>
<p>Can I get into UCI, UCD, or UCSD without Organic Chemistry and Physics. I have a 4.0 GPA and Im done with General Chemistry 1 and 2 and Calculus, Statistics, and the GE's (Sociology, 1 year of English (critical thinking and general)).</p>
<p>Maybe UCSD and UCD. I know a few people that got accepted to UCD missing Ochem. I know UCSD doesn’t really look at prerequisites. I got accepted having none. A lot of people did last year.</p>
<p>@Mermaker You applied as a bio major and you were admitted with 0 prereqs? That’s surprising bearing in mind at UCSD, biology is (or was) probably the most competitive department to apply to behind engineering and was just until this year listed as impacted.</p>
<p>Regardless, as a current biology major at UCSD, I think with a perfect 4.0 you’ll be okay. They seem to highly value GPA in the admission process and of the prereqs from my experience they seem to favor you having the biology/gen chem series finished. I would say there are a decent number of transfers I’ve met that have been missing physics or ochem here, although I’m not sure I’ve met anyone missing both complete series. I’d be confident you’ll be fine for Davis and likely UCI too.</p>
<p>I never said I got accepted as a bio major. Look at last years’ acceptance thread. A lot of people were accepted with a lot of prerequisites missing.</p>
<p>Given the context of the thread, it’s easy to see how it could be mistaken that that’s what you were implying. All majors are not created equal for admissions at the UC’s, so perhaps you should clarify what major you applied as when giving advice to someone asking about a specific major and prereqs that differed from your own?</p>
<p>Yeah, I should have probably been clearer. </p>
<p>@college I went over last years’ UCSD thread to see if anyone else got accepted missing substantial amount of prerequisites. If it’s any consolation, this is what I found: </p>
<p>Post #442: Biological Anthropology missing 0/4.</p>
<p>Skipped to page 71</p>
<p>Post #1045: Computer science major missing 2 physics, 2 math(calculus?), and 1 CS classes.
Post #1070: Biochemistry and Cell Biology missing Physics and Ochem.
Post #1085: Human Biology missing Cal 2 and physics sequence
Post #1106 Microbiology missing 6 (?).
Post #1152 Environmental Engineering missing a crap load</p>
<p>I didn’t go through the whole thread.
It wasn’t a lot, but a few people did get accepted missing prerequisites.</p>
<p>Yeah mermakers right. I spoke with an admissions officer on campus that worked on the 2013 admits and she straight told me if you have over half of your major’s prereqs completed with a 3.5+ youre good to go.</p>
<p>Thank you so much. I really hope so. I feel really stupid that I couldn’t take Bio with Ochem. It was just too hard. I really tried but I was at school most of the time and I came home and had only a few hours to study all that material. :(</p>
<p>I also talked to my counselor she said make sure to take Bio but for Ochem I should try very hard to take it.</p>
