<p>If you weren’t at Berkeley, where would you be? Cal is my #1 choice. But I feel there really isn’t any other college for me (stanford - wont get in and it is not my style), UCLA and USC (dont want to be in S. Cal), UCD - not excited.</p>
<p>Berkeley or bust! I turned down WASHU SL, USC, Brown, Dart for Berkeley! Golden bear at heart (:</p>
<p>what’s the best place to get used textbooks? preferably by buying directly from a cal student? comegetused.com is down…</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>is engineering super hard to get into for oos? haha berkeley accepts a lot of people from my school (not a lot apply to engineering) but i dont want to get my hopes up if it’s a totally different situation for engineering majors.</p>
<p>Note that selectivity within engineering varies by major.</p>
<p>How hard would it be to switch to Biomedical engineering from an CAS undecided?</p>
<p>Are international students more difficult to be admitted by UCB?</p>
<p>^ Nowadays, they are becoming less selective about international and out of state students, because you’re paying three times what in-staters pay.</p>
<p>International students also don’t get FAFSA aid and all other Cal scholarships (much less financial aid), so that’s even better for Berkeley. I would say that for all the colleges except perhaps engineering (and to a smaller extent chemistry), you will stand a better chance than say, 5 years ago. Don’t expect something like 50% acceptance rates though, it’s still pretty competitive.</p>
<p>In short, yes, it’s definitely more competitive that being in-state, but that gap is narrowing.</p>
<p>When does Cal send letters to the students that are applicable for the regents scholarship?</p>
<p>How hot are the chicks?</p>
<p>^well that depends on how drunk you are at that particular point in time when this issue becomes pertinent to you.</p>
<p>Are there any reliable places to store stuff during the summer with cheap price? D:</p>
<p>Regents candidates get notifications around Mid February.</p>
<p>Have a bunch of questions regarding taking summer classes.</p>
<p>Is it worth it to take an upper division English course over the summer? How difficult are English courses at Berkeley? I have R1A / R1B credit from highschool but need to fulfill 1 year of english for medical schools. The summer lower division english courses don’t have descriptions / books listed and I don’t want to take a class with a subject that I’m not as interested in. There is an upper division course N117S on Shakespeare that I’m interested in but I don’t want to compensate a good grade either.</p>
<p>Also is there really a difference between a 4 unit and 3 unit english course over the summer in terms of workload? I’m considering 3 unit just to save $400 for the same requirement. Should I just satisfy a different requirement instead? Do all english classes satisfy the Arts & Literature breadth? Are there any good International Studies / Philosophy + Values classes?</p>
<p>Regarding L&S AL, IS, PV breadth, look here:

<p>You may want to check what counts as an “English composition” course for the medical schools you are applying to.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me some general info on IEOR (Industrial Engineering)? I applied to it and I keep hearing that not many people apply to that program as freshmen. I also emailed one of the IEOR professors who confirmed my speculation that IEOR doesn’t have a lot of freshmen applicants. Will this give me an edge in the admissions process and help me get in because not a lot of people apply to the same major as me? Thanks!</p>
<p>Hello</p>
<p>I am international applicant. I have a question for Berkeley student.
When I submitted my application, I wrote “math” as a my major. But, I feel now I also like economics and business. Would it be possible that I change my major in my first semester? or even before the enrollment?</p>
<p>Also, would it possible that I graduate with 2 major? economics and computer science?</p>
<p>Some info: international applicant from Asia (not Chinese, not Japanese, not Korean, not Indonesian, not… guess ? )
Stat: IMO medals </p>
<p>Accepted at UCSB, UCSD, UCD, UCLA so far. Waiting for my Berkeley decision???</p>
<p>Thanks for your help</p>
<p>Yes, technically all freshmen enter Berkeley undeclared, regardless of what you chose on your application. You only need to declare your major(s) by the end of sophomore year. And yes you can graduate with two majors, which is called double majoring!</p>
<p>College of Letters and Sciences that is true, but for some others you are admitted into a specific major - for example College of Engineering. </p>
<p>You can graduate with two majors, a double major as Conaanaa informed you, or a triple major, when they are from the same college within UC Berkeley. If two majors across different colleges, it is called simultaneous degrees. For example, BSEE and a BA in math would be simultaneous degrees, while BA in math and BA in biology would be a double major.</p>
<p>Thank you very much Conaanaa and rider730 !</p>
<p>Is there computer science major at College of Letters and Sciences? </p>
<p>I am thinking about double majoring in Economics and Computer Science at College of Letters and Sciences. Is it too hard to achieve? (because it is very different fields)
Is it possible? if so, will i have to take so many courses? </p>
<p>I am really interested in both of these fields.</p>
