<p>Here's my questions..</p>
<p>To transfer to UC, i need to pretty much do most of my pre-reqs for bio major , so if i take my courses here at CSM which are most likely Pre-Med/Dent courses, will that hurt my chance when applying to Med/Dental school in the future?</p>
<p>and also, with my record right now? how's my chances for admission to graduate school? is it hurt? </p>
<p>please any info, advice, or just anything will help me greatly. THANKS!!</p>
<p>If you major in biology, you will most likely take higher courses at the Universtiy that will prove you can handle the science. Just make sure that you get some good advisement and are taking the right classes. The W's will be a flag...be prepared to have an explaination for that.</p>
<p>If you do not do extremely well in English 848 that's a gigantic red flag and you are really going to need a good explination for that. By majoring in bio you will prove yourself in science so taking your major reqs which happen to be premed reqs at a cc will not hurt your chances.</p>
<p>shades_children, i dropped English twice with a W bc, during the summer, they ran out of teachers to teach 848, so they hired a high English level English teacher to teach the class and she actually has a notorious reputation among the CSM administration and students. Her class was hell, it was so obvious she didn't want to teach. She rambles about how her boyfriend cheated on her, her grandma was in the hospital and how it all makes her depressed. ???? She gave us a LOT of homework. Her grading format on the essays were too strict. 3/4 of the class dropped with a W. Only people left were a couple of kids who all got Cs. By the way, no one got an A. So that's a drop. My 2nd drop is when i took the same class fall sem, in the morning at 8 am. As my sister brings me to school everyday since we go to the same school, she would always run late and this posed a big problem for me. ...2 W drops. hopefully my last drops in my life. lol</p>
<p>shades_children, next semester will be Bio 210 with LAB, Chem 210 with Lab. </p>
