HI I will be going into molecular biology and genetics in the fall and I was wondering which biochem (2B03 or 2EE3) should I be taking.

Take 2EE3, it's much easier to get a high grade... But I don't believe you need to take either. 2B03/2BB3 are for biochemistry and chembio

There were some molecular bio/genetics people in my 2B03 class--depends what you're more interested in. It also depends what you want to take in upper years, and what the prereqs for those classes are.

2EE3 is NOT the equivalent to 2B03, though. 2EE3 is about metabolism & stuff, and is antirequisite to 3D03. 2B03 is about DNA, and 2BB3 is about proteins. Together, 2B03/2BB3 are antirequisites for 3G03.

I found 2B03 to be so much more interesting than 2EE3. 2B03 is like indepth of what you learn in second year. I found that it helped with my other courses.

Thanks guys for your opinions. I think that I'll attempt to get into 2ee3 (which is now full. )
Hopefully solar likes me. 2b03 is the back up if i can move other classes around :(
