Got accepted but for Pre-Biologyā€¦? Is there any guarantee I can get my actual major (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) once I complete the freshman prerequisites?

@KES2022 Thank you for the kind words. I have been following the UC/CSU decision threads for the last 5 years starting with the application process with my sonā€™s followed by numerous family members and unfortunately all these schools continue to get more and more competitive each year.

As several posters have pointed out that you will end up great schools and your hard work to not be for nothing so do not feel that being rejected/waitlisted is the end. There are many different roads that you can take to meet your goals so embrace these opportunities and you will be successful.

My favorite quote is ā€œbloom where plantedā€. Best of luck to all
