Hey everyone,
I tried using the search engine for this one but I think it's very case-specific.
I'm a transfer student from UC Davis to UC Irvine, and i'm having trouble with some of the prerequisites for medical school. I'll try to explain the situation as well as possible.
At UC Davis, the organic chemistry series I take is 118 A - B - C (Davis is on the quarter system.. as is Irvine). The labs for these classes are coupled with the 118 B and C classes, but not the A class. At UC Irvine, the o-chem series I take is 51 - A - B - C. The labs that I need to take for medical school are 51 LA (lab A) and 51 LB. There is lab for part "C" of the course, but that's generally intended for pharmacy people. Now here's the problem:
I finished 118A and 118B + Lab at UC Davis.. remember 118A doesn't have a lab. At UC Irvine, this translated over to 51 A + 51 LA + 51 B + 51 LB. So, the only class I had to take at UC Irvine was 51 C (not the lab, just the lecture). As you can see, I got "credit" for taking two quarters of labs on paper, but in reality I only took one quarter of it.
That's one situation, and here's the other one with physics. I"ll try to simplify
at Davis the series we take is: 7A - B - C. All with lab
at Irvine the series we take is: 3A - B - C. All with lab
Took 7A at Davis, with lab. At UCI, got credit for 3A, 3LA (lab A), and 3LB. Only had to take 3B and 3C, and 3LC at UC Irvine. Again, got credit for taking two labs which shows on the transcript. When I complete 3LC, I will have only technically completed two labs.
My question is then, should I go about retaking these lab classes somewhere? I don't know if I'd be able to backtrack and retake them at my school,although I can ask. I already asked a counselor and they were as useless as ever for me, so I thought I'd direct the question to yall. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated, I realize this is a huge mess haha.
