Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>so berkeley is my dream school and has been for about 2 years and i cannot imagine myself anywhere else for the next 4 years of my life. i was wondering though, how exactly does one tell if courses are a-g approved (specifically the fine arts one, i'm set on everything else)? i am scheduled to take two classes (both 1 semester each, adding up to 1 credit total) that are listed in the fine arts section of my school's course selection book. how do i know if they are a-g approved? </p>

<p>for reference, they are Piano Lab and Film & Society Honors</p>

<p>I got into Berkeley 2014 this year, and I’ll admit that I’ve never taken anything remotely related to art as a high school class, though I did take outside piano lessons. So perhaps it’s just an in-state requirement since they can’t assume that high schools across the nation have the same curricula? I’m not sure, but maybe you should contact the school about this. I tried to, and I still don’t understand exactly how A-G works.</p>

<p>Same as insomniac, no idea what A-G is but I filled in all the courses I took, and was alright.</p>

<p>You can see the a-g requirements at <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/subject_reqs.html[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/subject_reqs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>There is a detailed narrative of the a-g requirements for the counselors at [University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/freshman/advising/admission/agr.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/freshman/advising/admission/agr.html) which includes a list of acceptable and unacceptable courses for the VPA requirement.</p>

<p>You also have the option to satisfy the requirement using other means (passing SAT Subject tests or AP exams, taking college courses, etc.). For the different options available, see [University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/freshman/advising/admission/subjectr.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/freshman/advising/admission/subjectr.html)</p>

<p>wow now that is about the best news i’ve heard in a long time! so happy, i would have had to drop those for music theory 1 & 2 probably and dont think i would have been able to make it through the year hahah. an off-topic question in regards to the thread, but how hard exactly would it be for an OOSer to get in?</p>

<p>OOS admit rates are expected to increase two- to three-folds this year due to the budget crisis. There is no telling what will happen next year or the year after that.</p>
