<p>I'd like to major in Biochemistry, but I don't think I'll get accepted due to lack of pre-reqs (I have a 4.0 GPA and IGETC completed). I've completed a year of Bio and Chem w/ lab, and I'm taking Ochem w/ lab and Calculus all year, but I won't start physics until after I transfer. I'm simply going to apply under Biochem and list MCDB as an alternate, but I'd like to hear what you guys have to say.
Thanks!</p>
<p>According to the UCLA Admissions website:</p>
<p>Biochemistry*
one year of general chemistry with lab for the major
one year of biology with lab for the major (cellular, molecular, genetic)
one and one-half years of calculus
one year of calculus-based physics with lab
one year of organic chemistry with lab for the major
*Demand for this major significantly exceeds space available.</p>
<p>Life science majors*
Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics
Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology</p>
<p>one year of biology with lab for the major
one year of calculus
one year of general chemistry with lab for the major
one semester in organic chemistry with lab</p>
<p>Strongly Recommended:
a second semester of organic chemistry
one year of calculus-based physics
*Demand for the life science majors significantly exceeds space available. Because these majors require the completion of extensive preparatory coursework prior to transfer, you must be admitted directly into a life science major; you will not be able to change from a non-life science major after admission to UCLA.</p>
