Ask a Recent UCD Biochemistry Grad

<p>@CSB111</p>

<p>I was a engineering student (chemical) who was premed all five years, until I decided not too go that route. It’s definitely tough, you take a lot of the “harder” classes/more classes. The work load is tough. I will say though, I had the opportunity to take Physics 9 series, which I learned quite a lot from. A lot of my Biosci/NPB/MIC/BIO Chem friends only took 7 series. I keep hearing how the 7 series was a joke. No idea. And we also need way more math as well. But if you like it, do it. I came to a realization that I didn’t want to go to Med School by the end of my 5th year (I was accepted to a few), but I had a nice degree to fall back on.</p>

<p>Sorry BMB2011 for going somewhat OT in your thread. I did take a lot of MCB classes though: 120L, 124 (yuck), and the enzyme kinectics one (forgot), and my roommate/good friend was a biochem major and took a lot of similar classes with him.</p>
