Okay.. is anyone else annoyed by this? All along during CAL we're told to take a "special chemistry series" chem1A/3A/3B/ and MCB 102 if we're interested in going to health schools/for biological science majors, and told that these will fulfill requirements. I'm a recent switch into pre-dental and I am planning to apply to California schools... I just found out that UCLA now wants berkeley students to take an additional general chemistry class. The community colleges courses for chem1b seem pretty redundant to the material covered in Chem1A.. and I wouldn't even mind taking it but the problem is I've already made plans lined up for my gap year including traveling and a job. I've talked to students from the last cycle that have been accepted into UCLA without needing to take an extra chemistry class... does anyone have any experience on this? Anyone know how willing schools are to grant requirement exceptions? Sorry if it seems like I'm griping but its a bit frustrating especially since I feel that I've proven myself with good DAT chemistry scores (22gen26ochem).
