<p>Is there an option on the UC Transfer App to declare an alternate major.
I'll be applying to UC Berkeley as an EECS major (CoE) and wanted to know if i would be allowed on the application to declare CS (CL&S) as my alternate major.</p>
<p>I presume that my chances would be higher for CS (CL&S) if i wasn't accepted to EECS on the basis of GPA.</p>
<p>there is no alternate for berkeley unless you have tap</p>
<p>Do know that for CoE you must have <b>ALL prereqs</b> done by Spring 2012, or you will not be admitted. I haven’t heard an exception to the rule yet. </p>
<p>If you will not have all prereqs done for EECS, I’d declare a similar major that you can finish prereqs for, then switch majors after you’re in (this is the sleezy back-door way, but heh, it works).</p>
<p>Yeah I only know two people that got into CoE: one for Bioeng had all the required pre-reqs and none of the recommended classes (GPA about a 3.6-3.7ish, due to ESL), and one for Mech Eng and they had all the pre-reqs and a few recommended courses (GPA probably 3.8+). I also know 2 people with 4.0 that were missing 1 or 2 pre-reqs for their respective major that didn’t get in… not sure how much that relates to EECS.</p>
<p>@econeric - I didn’t know of UCB TAP? Do you know where if SMC offers such a program?
I looked around this forum and read that it’s “invite only”. Any more information on how to actually apply/qualify for it would be helpful! </p>
<p>@anacondrea - you do realize that I said if I were to be rejecting on the BASIS OF GPA, I would want CS (L&S) to be a backup. Basically all of CS (L&S) pre-reqs are already part of the EECS pre-reqs. The only difference would be i would neeed IGETC. which im doing as well. </p>
<p>@killmyentourage - yeah. i’m in a big mess. cant decide between CS L&S and EECS.
