<p>I'm wondering how realistic it is to become fluent in more than one language while at Cal, starting from scratch or some proficiency (like a level 2 or 3). It probably relies on major but even with a flexible L & S major, it seems pretty difficult.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me how to get to the Big C? And if there is any special events planned on it tomrorow (10/2)</p>
<p>I have a question about the "backstabbing" I've heard about in the MCB majors. Is this really true? Is it really that brutal? </p>
<p>I'm just a FPF student right now, and I'm trying to find potential majors. I've currently narrowed it down to a biological science (pre-med) goal or something in CS or even EECS if I could make the switch. I'm in L&S right now. Can I even make the switch from L&S to CoE? If I say I scored a 4 on my AP Calc test and a 5 on my AP Bio test, with the fact that I'm not as confident, should I make the jump? or will EECS be just hell? </p>
<p>Thanks for those who reply =]</p>
<p>MY FIRST SEMESTER AT CAL..does this scheduel look ok????? hellllp </p>
<hr>
<p>hi everyone. so i am a spring admit freshman at cal (yey!) and i wanted to see if these classes made sense for next spring semester. So i am an mcb premed...except my heart isnt really set on mcb and i was thinking of going into maybe public health or microbio later...
i have taken a lot of breadth req at community college during the fall...i only have like 2/3 left
ok
so i was thinking
SPRING FIRST FRESHMAN SEMESTER:
now i am not sure between MATH1A and MATH 16A because mcb req MATH1A..but i am not sure if i even want to do mcb. also looking at the math1A times they interfer with the chem 1A times so i can either wait and take math 1A later or just take 16A</p>
<p>assuming i just wait and take math 1A in fall of 09 this is how it will go</p>
<p>SPRING FIRST FRESHMAN SEMESTER:
CHEM 1A/LAB
ENGLISH R1B
BIO 1B/ LAB/DISC ( can i take 1b before 1A...i heard 1A is harder...true?)
FRESHMAN SEMINAR</p>
<p>SUMMER FRESHMAN YEAR:
CHEM 3A/L</p>
<p>SOPHMORE YEAR FALL:
MATH 1A
BIO 1A/L
PHYSICS 08A
BREADTH</p>
<p>SOPHMORE YEAR SPRING:
MATH 1B
CHEM 1B
PHYSICS 08B
BREADTH</p>
<p>or i could just do
FRESHMAN:
math16a
chem 1a
r1b
semenars</p>
<p>FRESHMAN SUMMER
chem 3a/l</p>
<p>SOPHMORE FALL..............this seems like overkill...all sci classes and math
math 16b
bio 1b/l
chem 3b
physics 8a</p>
<p>SOPHMORE SPRING
bio 1a/l
physics 8b
2 breadth</p>
<p>does the order of which i am taking these classes make sense?
should i just take 16A and forget mcb...and do i diff science?
does any semester look like overload?
is there anyway to avoid taking summer classes? </p>
<p>THANK YOU SO MUCH>....I WILL BE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF ANY REPLIES</p>
<p>Hey guys, I was wondering if Computer Science in L&S is a capped/impacted major? Are there certain GPA requirements for it? </p>
<p>According to this website:
General</a> Catalog - Computer Science (Letters & Science)
CS "is also extremely competitive; fewer than half of the juniors who apply are admitted, and the others must choose another major."</p>
<p>However, I've also heard that it is no longer an impacted major, and it's not listed on the capped majors here:
L&S</a> Major - Capped Majors</p>
<p>But it is listed as a capped major here: L&S</a> Advisory, The College of Letters and Science, UC Berkeley</p>
<p>Anyone care to shed some light on this?</p>
<p>It's uncapped. They just didn't get around to updating some of the pages.</p>
<p>For IAMABEAR: it seems like u don't like math but if u take 16 series u better be sure don't want to do MCB unless there is a path that 16 series is allowed. Also, u don't have to take Bio1B or physics 8 so early (u don't need physics to declare). So yeah, don't have to cram things in. I personally like math so iono if i should persuade u to take 1A and have u hate me haha</p>
<p>yo, im currently a student at csulb and im majoring in mechanical/aerospace engineering and i really want to transfer to a UC in two years because i think csulb isn't the scholl for me and i just dont feel accomplished going there...is it really worth it to transfer?</p>
<p>Can you double-major in, say, electrical engineering and physics at Cal and, for that matter, the other UCs? And what is the status of aerospace engineering at UCB?</p>
<p>tmonster6: If you're thinking in terms of the engineering program at Cal, then it definitely is worth the transfer. You can learn more about Cal's engineering program here: Home</a> — UC Berkeley College of Engineering</p>
<p>I really can't find info on CC to this at all-- but if i apply to the Chemistry under the College of Chemistry, does it lower my chances of admission?</p>
<p>Also, is it hard to transfer from Chemistry from L&S into CoC? What about the other way around?</p>
<p>I would really like to go to CAL, however I am worried about not getting into classes. If I transfer in as a Junior Transfer and declare as a Poli Sci major, how likely is it that I will be able to take the classes I would like to take in that department?</p>
<p>Quickly, political science isn't impacted. If you declare, you are given priority in political science courses in the first round of class registration. Classes are opened with no restrictions for political science in the second round.</p>
<p>hey, im wondering about changing schools once you are in.
if i get into the engineering school, is there any liklihood i could transfer to letters and sciences during the first year or two.
i applied for mechanical engineering, but have since decided that i'm more interested in theoretical physics and literature. is there hope or am i downright f'd?</p>
<p>im probably shot my chances at admissions by applying engineering oos anyway but if by some miracle i get in, is switching engineering to l&s possible?</p>
<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I am very interested in participating in spring rush for a sorority. Do you know when spring rush is usually held? Do the bids only go to girls who are friends with other girls in the sorority? Thank you!</p>
<p>so on average, how many animals does the average cal student sleep with each year?</p>
<p>shalala<em>lala</em>la: you'd definitely be able to transfer colleges. However, you might consider majoring in engineering physics since you're in COE and if that's your thing. And your lit would just be a double major in another college, which may be less complicated then switching out. check with advisors about that. Either way its very much possible.</p>
<p>What is the average age for a freshman?</p>
<p>151carabou: It depends. Upperclassmen are usually busy, so we can sneak a few sessions in with an otherwise unoccupied mammal. Depends if you were including other species in there, though. Reptiles, amphibians, etc? All animals? </p>
<p>Freshmen and Sophomores are ridiculous, though. </p>
<p>Stay safe during your first year. Wrap it up!</p>
<p>What do current students feel about the class sizes at Berkeley? Are they too big? Do you feel you get enough "personal attention" from the professors?</p>
