<p>University</a> of California - Admissions</p>

<p>"You are considered a freshman applicant if you are still in high school or have graduated from high school but have not enrolled in a regular session at any college or university."</p>

<p>Assuming you are still considered a freshman applicant, a freshman can theoretically apply with as many units as they'd like. The difficulty, of course, is retaining eligibility to apply as a "freshman" while racking up the units. Summer sessions are fine (as long as you don't matriculate anywhere), dual-enrollment should be OK as well.</p>

<p>I was wondering how hard PE classes are at Berkeley? I'm taking a beginning self defense course and I really hope I won't fail it or anything...</p>

943

<p>so what's the average number of units a student takes during the summer session?</p>

944

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm a new Cal student and I was wondering where all the current magazines and newspapers are.</p>

<p>I've noticed the East Reading room at Doe, but I refuse to believe that the colossal library system only houses those magazines under the "Browse" category. Perhaps other titles are housed in different parts of the campus?</p>

<p>For all I know, I could be looking at the wrong places. Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>(I'm looking for:</p>

<p>Mags: Men's/Women's Health, Details, GQ, InStyle, Esquire, Psychology Today, Forbes, Money, Wallpaper*</p>

<p>Newspapers: NYT, USAToday, SF Chronicle)</p>

945

<p>You could easily ask the reference desk or check the reference computers... -_-</p>

946

<p>The city library downtown (Kittredge x Shattuck) almost certainly has all of those in their second floor periodicals room.</p>

947

<p>i want to major in engineering, but i heard its very hard. is it possible to choose like african studies and then transfer to engineering? lol. or can i go in major undecided. :/</p>

948

<p>If you can't get INTO Berkeley Engineering, what makes you think you can handle the actual courses? =&lt;/p>

949

<p>What kind of stats does one need in order to get into the Biomedical Engineering program at Berkeley?</p>

950

<p>@ Castel, well...what if i get like 2150 on SAT and A's my soph and junior year...i just want to know how hard it is to get in the Engineering at Berkeley and if i could make it.</p>

951

<p>Are those events written on big blackboards at the greek houses open to all interested undergraduates?</p>

<p>Or are they invite only?</p>

952

<p>This may have been asked before, but I really don't feel like reading all 64 pages of posts.</p>

<p>Anyway, realistically speaking, how hard is it to get in for an out-of-state resident? I've seen that the admission rate for in-state is about 25% versus out-of-state being around 20%. But to get in, do you really need a significantly higher GPA and SAT score? Or is it virtually the same but they pick fewer students?</p>

<p>Oh, and I'm talking Letters and Science here. Not the others.</p>

953

<p>Degree</a> Requirement-L&S Breadth List: International Studies</p>

<p>From the list, which of the ones offered this fall are amongst the easiest courses to take to satisfy the IS requirement for L&S? With three upper division CS courses this semester, anything that has a light workload and isn't too difficult to get a decent grade in would be ideal. Interesting subject matter is a plus, but not a requirement. Any suggestions?</p>

954

<p>are there any sophomore transfers to berkeley? are you more likely to get into berkeley as a sophomore transfer or a junior transfer?</p>

955

<p>Is it still possible to get a bus pass even if the first week has already passed?</p>

956

<p>theres still a long line for it too.</p>

957

<p>What kind of stats does one need in order to get into the Biomedical Engineering program at Berkeley?</p>

958

<p>what's the minimum/maximum units one takes during summer? also avg?</p>

959

<p>Don't take more than 8 units (which is considered a full workload, kind of like 16 units in a normal semester).</p>

960

<p>^</p>

<p>... so pretty much. i can take like chinese 1a.. during the summer? cause that's 10 units.. LOL</p>
