<p>I'm planning to transfer to UCB. Do I have to take both History and Political Science? Or only History is enough?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>um, what is your intended major? what you're asking is too general. be more specific.</p>
<p>I'm going to apply for Architecture. I'm almost certain that I will need a History class. Just that I 'm trying to avoid political science if I don't have to take it.</p>
<p>I do have some other questions about UCB. </p>
<p>1, let's say I'm 25 plus years old. Will my age affect my application in a bad way?</p>
<p>2, what are my chances of getting into the major if I have nothing else(no honor classes, no community works, etc) but a fairly decent GPA. What are my chances if I have a GPA of 3.7 plus? So far it's 4.0 but I'm gonna run into some tougher classes soon.</p>
<p>3, Do I have to finish all the prerequisite classes listed on ASSIT.ORG agreement? Lets say that by Spring 2010 I will finish 60 -65 units and most lower division classes, what are my chances to be admitted for Fall 2010 with 1 or no more than 2 courses uncompleted ?</p>
<p>4, Do I have to take foreign language class? how many? Does anybody know any online Japanese classes from any community colleges around bay area?</p>
<p>Thanks for any reply and insight!</p>
<p>According to assist.org you have to take one history course and one course in Social and Behavioral Sciences, of which political science is an option. It doesn't look like it has to be political science.</p>
<p>I don't see foreign language being a requirement in and of itself but it does meet the breadth requirement for International Studies at the second semester class level.</p>
<p>Older age is usually a plus not a negative.</p>
<p>What about this? Does it mean political science is required? Check the 3rd item.</p>
<ol>
<li> University and Campus Requirements</li>
</ol>
<pre><code>* Entry-Level Writing
* American History
* American Institutions---------( ????)
* American Cultures
</code></pre>
<p>AI is usually something most students complete during High school. </p>
<p>"Both the American History and American Institutions requirements may be satisfied in one the following ways:</p>
<p>By fulfilling the portion of the "a" subject requirement for freshman admission that consists of one year of U.S. history or one-half year of U.S. history and one-half year of U.S. government in high school with letter grades of C or better. </p>
<p>By passing with a grade of C or better or P, one quarter or semester of a transferable course in basic U.S. history or U.S. government at a college or university before entering Berkeley. Students may also go to assist.org to find California community college courses that have been approved to satisfy the American History and American Institutions requirements. Inquiries about specific courses at institutions other than a California community college should be directed to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 110 Sproul Hall. "</p>
<p>from the registar's home page. i dont know if it helped at all. but if you remember doing
anything similar to the first item in high school, you're good to go.</p>
<p>So, with one year of regular US history with C or better from high school is fine for</p>
<p>transfer students right? (except for UCSB and does not have to be AP History)</p>
<p>Also, if we fulfill the requirement by using high school history course, we may also </p>
<p>have to provide UC's our high school transcript to show it, correct?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<li><p>No, being 25+ might actually be an asset.</p></li>
<li><p>Do you have work experience, especially something other than working in a movie theater selling popcorn or some other "easy" job? Actually, all jobs probably count as ECs. Maybe you could also start volunteering once a week somewhere.</p></li>
<li><p>It is highly - highly - recommended that you finish all of the prerequisites, especially if they are offered at your school or at a nearby school (or even online at a school not that close). Your chances of being accepted are diminished if you don't fulfill this requirement if it is possible for you to do so.</p></li>
<li><p>This depends. Did you finish two years of a foreign language in high school? Are you a native speaker of a language other than English? Please speak to your transfer adviser regarding this question. CCSF might offer one or two online Japanese courses, but they would probably be the lower-lower division courses that won't count (1A and/or 1B).</p></li>
