finishing more pre-req before applying = more competitive?

I’ve heard nothing to refute this from people associated with admissions and transfer advising. They want people who have shown not only good general academics, but potential/interest in a specific field. Obviously the IGETC is required, so things like lower division pre reqs might not mean anything for certain majors (such as mine where all you have to do is complete the IGETC to meet the requirements). However, if you’ve shown that you’re willing to take other classes that don’t necessarily satisfy pre reqs but do demonstrate interest, it helps a lot.
