Transferring to UCI as Bio

<p>Completing the absolute minimum amount of pre-reqs does not set you up to finish in 2 years. If you have Bio, Gen Chem, Ochem, and Calc done in addition to IGETC, you should have no problem finishing in 2 years provided you work hard and take Physics as soon as you transfer. In your case, biology will most likely take you 3 years, if you are even accepted. Additionally, you have a somewhat low GPA for a bio admit. I personally was originally waitlisted for Bio with a 3.6 without TAG at UCI. With only the minimum transfer requirements at any UC you listed, you will probably not be accepted with your GPA. Each of them have different minimum requirements also. Ex. UCLA requires a semester of Ochem also. If you are missing any of the requirements, you will definitely be rejected.</p>

<p>I have no idea what you’re talking about regarding transferring in at sophomore level. If you mean that they admit transfer and expect them to take 3 more years to complete their degree, I don’t believe that is true, though they do allow students to take 3 years.</p>
