UCSF prereq spreadsheet qtr unit conversion confusion

Hello,

I just want to confirm with ya'll...

If I go to a semester school and each one of those prereqs is 4 credits, does that mean that I multiply by 1.5 to get 6 quarter units?

For both chem and orgo there was 1 and 2. And each of those were, 6 qtr units. But the school is requiring 8 units for genchem(2 semesters) but only 4 units for Ochem(1 semester).

Does this mean I don't fulfill the requirement?

Thanks lots

Seen it. Still don't get how I can arrive at a minimum of 8 qtr units from my 4 credit semester of orgo when I am multiplying the credits by 1.5.

4 x 1.5 = 6 not 8(which is the minimum).... what am I missing?

The semester units are right next to the quarter units. Just use those values. You are fine with orgo.

Oh its just that in the chart the column is for qtr units only. I thought that was the only format in which we were supposed to report it.

Got it though, thanks weakfart 🙂

But this.....

"4. List all units as quarter units. If you went to a semester school, multiply your semester units by 1.5 to convert them into quarter units [E.g. 4 semester units = 6 quarter units (4 x 1.5 = 6)]."

If you've got CHEM 1 (4 cred) CHEM 2 (4 cred), and the same style series for OCHEM then you have met the requirements
