<p>how difficult is it to successfully satisfy all the prerecs to apply into the Haas business school?</p>
<p>is it easier to get a job after graduating CMU undergrad SCS or Berkeley L&S CS.</p>

On assist.org for CS majors it states:
"The entire Computer Science 61 series is also offered during the Berkeley
summer session. The department recommends that, when possible, students take one
of these courses during the summer sessions prior to transfer."</p>
<p>I was wondering how rigorous these courses are and whether it's possible for me to take both CS61A and CS61C during Summer 08, provided I receive acceptance?

<p>im not even sure you can take 61c since 61b is the prereq and 61a is the prereq for 61b</p>

<p>I will finish 61B this Spring at my community college, which btw was a 2 part sequence. Its unfair that I have to take two 4 unit classes to equate 61B.</p>
<p>Hi, I'm newly a newly admitted freshman. I'm going to be an English Lit. major and intend to work in publishing after school is said and done, so...</p>
<p>...are there many publishing internships available around the Berkeley area?</p>
<p>how big are classes at Haas? and is it a bad idea to choose Cal strictly because of Haas, since there is no guaranteed acceptance?</p>
<p>How is the internet at Cal? All wireless? Is it like DSL speed? Or Cable speed?</p>
<p>stanfordbound,
its very easy to cover all the prereqs for haas. you can knock a few of the breadth classes out of the way using APs and the rest are easy to get into. i did it in two years while also knocking out prereqs for my second major. my advice is to take the the most difficult classes or the ones you think you will do worse in your second semester sophmore year because haas cannot see these grades and it will not count towards your application. always take the easy way and inflate your GPA no one cares about your difficulty of schedule.</p>
<p>bagels,
my classes usually range in size from 45-140 (for the big graduate reqs like marketing or financial accounting). that being said though i just took marketing last semester with dave robinson (one of the best known, for better or worse, professors on campus) and also had him as my section leader with only 20 or so other kids. if youre ever in a room with dave robinson and only 20 other kids, be scared. haas acceptance rate is 50% or so, if you have any kind of self confidence in yourself then i say go ahead and do it. see my advice above on ways to make your admission easier. for example, take math 16a instead of 1a. its easy as hell (basic calc) and an A in 16a looks better than getting a B in 1a.</p>
<p>hope this helps</p>
<p>hi i have been hearing somewhere in CC that berkeley has problems with too many people wanting to get into courses with too limited spaces. for which courses are these problems apparent? how bout EECS? is this true and is it a really serious problem?</p>
<p>What kind of early admissions plan does Berkeley have: EA, ED, SCEA or something else? What do you know about it? Does it help a lot w/ admissions?</p>
<p>bcp05, thanks for the help. i was also wondering, how hard is it to keep a high GPA in Haas? compared to the rest of Cal? and if you don't mind me asking, what is your other major? is it common/easy/very difficult for a Haas student to double major?</p>
<p>its is pretty easy to keep a high GPA in Haas relative to the rest of the university. grade inflation is pretty rampant (although this depends on course/professor of course). for example in my financial accounting class last semester about 90% of kids got at least a B and about 50% got As. it is fairly common for haas students to double major and the ones that don't tell me that they wish they had. depending on what the second major is it can be easy or difficult. i mean, obviously you will have a difficult time if you choose any engineering major or mcb, but most liberal arts majors are definitely manageable. the haas advisors are also very helpful in working with you to manage your schedule to make sure you have the units, graduate on time, etc. my second major is history, which is more of a passion and has very little to do with my career ambitions. the most common double major is definitely with economics (although i think its a bit overkill really). my advice would be to choose something you're passionate about. lets face it, business classes are a little stale and boring and its nice to have something intellectually stimulating to complement them</p>
<p>can anyone tell me about pre-med at berkeley? how competitive is it, what's the average GPA for a pre-med student, and how hard is it to survive?</p>
<p>hello, I'm new here and I'm going into cal EECS. I'm trying to avoid taking the infamously hard english classes at cal so I was wondering what I needed to score on the AP lit test to skip it. also, does anybody know where it says all the classes you're required to take?</p>
<p>where do most Haas students end up after graduation? student profiles on the Haas undergrad website feature a lot of students who are getting jobs right after graduating.. is it difficult/uncommon for Haas students to go on to other professional schools, grad school, med school, law school, etc?</p>
<p>How difficult is it to switch OUT of engineering? Right now I'll be entering as a freshman in MechE but if I change my mind in the future is it relatively simple to switch out to College of L&S?</p>
<p>It shouldn't be too hard if you switch during your first semester or two, but if your GPA is low (under 3.0) you might have a harder time switching out.</p>
<p>internet is wireless and wired. (wired in some libraries and the dorms) wireless is available througout the campus, the but wireless setup for the dorms is retarded and annoying. it doesnt make sense why they didnt just extend the on campus network a couple blocks over to the dorms.</p>
<p>Yeah the wireless network on campus is called AirBears and it is amazing. There's absolutely no reason to use wired networks on campus.</p>
<p>The wireless network in the dorms is called Rescomp and it's pretty terrible. The "hotspots" are the lounges, but if you just live 3-4 doors away you probably won't get good wireless signal. Even in the "hotspots" sometimes you'll have a slow connection, and it periodically goes down or disconnects you for no reason. Oh yeah, and logging on is a chore. You are give a login page and you click on "log on". Then you put in your ID and passphrase. Then it loads another page says "please wait...you have been connected..." then after while it loads another gray page that says "you have been connected..." and then it loads another yellow page that says "thank you! Your log-on will last two hours." And if you decide to go on another page before you hit that last yellow page, you'll have to log in again. You didn't really need to know all that but I wanted to rant.</p>
<p>Hi, I was admitted to Cal OOS and was just wondering how I would tell them that I've dropped one of my classes for this term. I am taking an advanced math class at Willamette University in my town and my Physics class no longer fits in my schedule, so I had to drop it. Will they rescind my acceptance for not taking the classes I specified? and should I just send an email to admisssions, or how else would I notify them?</p>
