<p>Ok. Would you be worried about not getting your classes if you were in my situation?</p>
<p>I would be more concerned about Physics 7A/H7A than Math 54/H54 (since it does not appear that honors math courses get as full). Of course, this coming semester’s enrollment patterns may differ from the previous.</p>
<p>Hello! I’m a prospective Berkeley student; still deciding between Cal and NYU. One of the main factors in my decision is what opportunities I’ll have after I graduate (e.g. Graduate school, etc.).</p>
<p>Given the large population at Cal, don’t students really have to compete to distinguish themselves (e.g. Join a lot of clubs and aim for a’s in lot of hard classes)? What types of Graduate schools do Berkeley undergrads get into, especially undergrads in English or Philosophy–my intended fields? I almost feel like it would just be easier and more sane for me to distinguish myself at NYU, but I’m not sure. </p>
<p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>
<p>nyu is huge so you will have the same problem there</p>

It seems like your primary concern is the difficulty of the school and classes. I would probably agree that you do probably do have to work a bit harder to get As at Berkeley, but as far as extracurriculars go, there really isn’t a need to distinguish yourself through extracurriculars while you are in school. Remember that when you graduate, you are not just competing against people from the school you go to but also with graduates from other schools. That said, Berkeley’s philosophy and english departments have very good professors.</p>
<p>Academics aside, would you enjoy living in New York more? Location should definitely be a big part of your decision as well.</p>
<p>hey everyone, i m a freshman in Cal this coming fall. i m admitted into CoE, will switch major to EECS. i m thinking abt double majoring or pursuing simult degrees. I have two options in mind: 1) double major in EECS n Engineering Physics in CoE 2) simult degree with EECS in CoE n Physics in L&S. Which one do u guys think is the more feasible option? I am more inclined towards the simult degree option, but i m worried about not having enough time to satisfy l&s 7 course breadth requirement. Any suggestions on how to fit the l&s breadth requirement into the tight schedule?</p>
<p>I m truly interested in both eecs n physics, n also aim to go to grad engineering school, n if possible, eecs honor programme as well.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
<p>EECS will probably take up at least 80 units of major courses (many students do more), plus about 24 for humanities and social studies breadth. Lower division math and physics courses (28 units) will overlap with Physics or Engineering Physics. With Engineering Physics, some upper division courses could be overlapped with EECS requirements. So you’ll probably have about 44 units (about 11 courses) to play with, more if you usable AP Calculus (5 on BC = Math 1A and 1B) and AP English (4 = R&C A) credit.</p>
<p>Of the L&S 7-course breadth, one will automatically be fulfilled (Physical Science). Some of the five others may overlap with the Engineering humanities and social studies courses if you plan carefully. One (Biological Science) would likely require an additional course.</p>
<p>There is a minor in Physics available; it consists of five upper division physics courses (instead of seven for the major), and won’t require you to juggle L&S 7-course breadth. Or you could just take physics courses that interest you without worrying about trying to fit all of the requirements of a second major or minor into your schedule.</p>
<p>I am an ib major here at Berkeley, I am not doing too good in one of my ib classes so I changed the grading to p/np and I was wondering… Does getting a no pass grade in a major requirement hurt your chances for getting in to a grad school? Med school? Pharmacy school?</p>
<p>What types of Graduate schools do Berkeley seniors typically get into? And how hard is it to find research opportunities at Cal?</p>
<p>Thanks again in advance! (:</p>

<p>Look here:</p>
<p><a href=“https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Major.stm[/url]”>https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Major.stm</a></p>
<p>For each major, it lists what graduate schools and graduate majors that survey respondents who reported going to graduate school enrolled in.</p>
<p>hey I have a quick question!</p>
<p>When sending in the final transcript for the admissions office to verify, do I have to send them myself? or do I request the school to do it? </p>
<p>I spent my 9ths grade in japan so does this mean that I have to request the school in japan to send the transcript to berkeley or can i just send the official copy I have by mail?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>How worried are you about the rising costs of attending Berkeley? I am an out of state student and am concerned that if I went to Berkeley, I would see significant changes in my tuition over four years.</p>
<p>Is it true that all incoming freshman going into L&S are considered to be undeclared majors?</p>
<p>@123q: yes.</p>
<p>I’m an incoming freshman. I plan on going to either Poli Sci or Media Studies, or both (both share some pre-reqs in common plus breadth courses would make it easy to get a lot of it out of the way for both). Anyways, for the first semester, would you recommend takings classes that I’m interested in or taking classes that fulfill major reqs?</p>
<p>Hi, can you give me any information about the difficulty of EECS at Berkeley?</p>
<p>I’m considering EECS - UCB or CS - UCLA but I heard many rumors that it is very difficult at UCB…</p>
<p>

<p>Are you be a transfer student emphasizing CS?</p>
<p>Certain CS courses can be a lot of work, and one should schedule carefully to avoid taking too many high-work courses in the same semester. Also, if you are transferring from a school which does not have courses that articulate to all of the lower division CS courses, you may have to spend a semester taking them (this could be true at UCLA as well, although UCLA is on the quarter system; see [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) ).</p>
<p>You may want to read the [EECS</a> undergraduate notes](<a href=“http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Programs/Notes/]EECS”>http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Programs/Notes/), which include sample schedules. Note that there are some specifically for transfer students from community colleges, based on common cases for what courses the community colleges offer.</p>
<p>UCLA CS is described [url=<a href=“http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/undergraduates/cs-department-curriculum-updates/curricular-requirements-and-department-information#computer-science-b-s]here[/url”>http://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/undergraduates/cs-department-curriculum-updates/curricular-requirements-and-department-information#computer-science-b-s]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>@femmefatal: I came in knowing I wanted to do Polisci so I took classes that all counted for different breadths and hit PS declaring requirements. I took a bio breadth, PS1, PS2, and Classics 10A (non-US history requirement for PS). If you’re for sure, take the requirements but if you’re on the fence, don’t lock yourself into something that you might not like later on!</p>
<p>how’s berkeley eecs graduates admission rate to Stanford or MIT grad schools? Around how many got into Stanford or MIT for grad sch each yr? Thanks in advance</p>
<p>I’ve been admitted as a bioengineering major, and I was wondering what are the easiest classes to take to fulfill the r&c requirement. I haven’t taken the AP lit test, but I’m hesitant about taking the english courses because I heard that they were really hard.</p>
