<p>If you could be more specific with your questions I might be able to provide more a more helpful response
Very Generally speaking:</p>
<p>Pros
- Fairly easy to get into a research lab (and there are a decent number of drug/pharmacy oriented labs)
1b. Excellence in Research program - presentation of results, posters, paper etc
[UCI</a> Bio Sci Student Affairs: Research: Excellence in Research](<a href=“Undergraduate Cabinet - School of Biological Sciences”>Undergraduate Cabinet - School of Biological Sciences) - Free Biology tutoring to help you through the hard classes
<a href=“EEE+ Home | UCI”>EEE+ Home | UCI; - Bio Sci 2B seminar spring quarter freshman year
- Lots of interesting upper div bio electives</p>
<p>Cons
- Large class sizes in bio/chem/physics (300+) until you get to upper div biology electives, some of them get very small, smallest upper div bio elective I have had was between 15-20 students.
- A couple of the very early classes are weeder classes, but that happens everywhere I would think, not just UCI
- Bio 100 (required upper division writing class) super boring pass/no pass class with a bit of busywork.</p>
