3 Questions

<p>1) What are the average statistics of out of state applicants? (GPA & SAT 1 & SAT 2)?</p>

<p>2) Rank the majors on how hard it is to get into: EECS, Eng Undeclared, Computational Engineering Science, Pre-Business (Haas)?</p>

<p>3) How hard is it to change majors at UCB (assuming you want to move within the college of engineering)?</p>

<p>The stats for Fall 2006 are in the following link:
<a href="http://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/freshmen.asp%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/freshmen.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>For the Engineering Majors, there is some info in this:

<p>These statistics are overall and include both CA and non-CA residents. I know UCB accepts 20% OOS and 25% in state, but does that mean that OOS residents have higher stats? If so, by how much?</p>

<p>I'm within the ranges listed above, but I doubt I'll get in b/c I'm OOS.</p>

<p>QUESTION 2:</p>

<p>Difficulty of getting in:
1) EECS
2) Eng Undeclared
3) Comp Eng Sci
4) Pre-Business</p>

<p>Does that seem right?</p>

<p>For Question 2 the Answer is no.</p>

<p>Pre-Business is admitted with everyone else in the College of Letters & Science, so its difficulty level for admittance is the same as any of the L&S majors. EECS is essentially computer science engineering, which Cal doesn't have.</p>

<p>UCB does have EECS:</p>

Because of student demand, selectivity varies among Colleges, and --in the College of Engineering-- among majors; for example, it is more difficult to gain admission to the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences major than to the Mechanical Engineering major.

<p>Is getting into LSA easier/harder than getting into an engineering program (or certain engineering majors - if so, which ones?)?</p>

<p>^He was referring to the computer science eng you were talking about. There is no such thing.</p>

<p>^ It's not computer engineering science. It's computational engineering science, and it exists at UCB. It's a major in the Engineering Science dept. (<a href="http://www.coe.berkeley.edu/engsci/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.coe.berkeley.edu/engsci/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p>
