<p>Till when one can clear the language and US history courses?? Is it mandatory to clear these courses before the program starts.</p>

<p>EECS, Fall 2013</p>

<p>The College of Engineering does not have a foreign language graduation requirement, if that is what you mean. However, admissions requires at least level 2 of high school foreign language (level 3 recommended) or equivalent demonstration of proficiency via standardized test or high enough grade level attendance in a foreign school where English is not the language of instruction.</p>

<p>The American history requirement can be fulfilled in many ways, including high school course work and college course work: [American</a> History and Institutions - Office Of The Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.berkeley.edu/?PageID=ahi.html]American”>http://registrar.berkeley.edu/?PageID=ahi.html)</p>

<p>International freshman. Got a mail in cal account mandating language course requirement.</p>

<p>Hi, I’m a junior in high school and I’m going to be interning at a lab at Berkeley over the summer and need to find housing for about two months at/near Berkeley.</p>

<p>Can I rent campus housing over the summer or is that not permitted? (in other words: Do I have to be a student in order to lease on-campus dorms for the summer?)</p>

<p>If not, where should I go to search for inexpensive housing? My range is anywhere from $600-900/month - lower is preferable. I don’t mind subleasing an apartment, as long as it doesn’t cost too much and is somewhat close to the campus</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>What does it say about a foreign language course?</p>

<p>Note that for divisions that have a foreign language requirement (e.g. L&S), a student with proficiency in a foreign language (like many international students) can take a departmental placement test; sufficiently high placement fulfills the requirement.</p>

<p>wblee9888 - This page covers options pretty well: [Student</a> Housing | Berkeley Summer Sessions](<a href=“http://summer.berkeley.edu/student-services/student-housing]Student”>Student Housing | Berkeley Summer Sessions)</p>

<p>Looks like you need to be enrolled to stay in the dorms, but the other options could work for you.</p>

<p>Admitted to EECS:

  1. How does one switch to Physics major.
  2. Or can one switch to Engineering Physics major.
  3. Can one do double major in CS and Physics. (How difficult is it?)</p>

<p>I’m a Mech E major and am planning on taking ME C85. ME C85 is cross listed with CE30. If ME C85 is full and I take CE30, will it fulfill the ME C85 requirement?</p>

<p>I’m a Psych major, how hard is it to get upper division classes?</p>

<p>So when I apply to Berkeley, do I have to choose my major and apply to the according department/school (School of Engineering, Haas School of Business, etc.) or can I just apply to the whole University itself, and decide my major/department school later?</p>

<p>You need to apply for a certain college and indicate your possible major. Here “indicate” doesn’t mean “declare”. To declare a major, you will have to take the prerequisite courses of that major after you get in.</p>

<p>

Do you have a MWF 8-9 class already? :confused: CE 30 will fulfill the requirement, as I think you’re trying to sign up for the MWF 1-2 section and MEC85 is full but CE30 isn’t. Be aware however that the schedule doesn’t always keep the two classes synced (I should know!) and you may get a rude surprise during Telebears.</p>

<p>I’m stuck in Bowles Hall. How bad is it?</p>

<p>Hi! I am currently a Cal freshman (will be a sophomore) planning to major in economics. I was supposed to take math 53 this fall because I want to take economics 101A in the spring. However, math 53 is mostly full now and I don’t think I can get in. The prereq for economics 101A says it needs math 53 or equivalent. Where can I find the classes that are the equivalent? Also, are the prereqs for classes at Cal strictly enforced for an economics major? What I mean is, can I take economics 101A without taking math 53?</p>

<p>If I don’t get into Cal Engineering school, will I still be considered for L+S admission?</p>

<p>I want to be a business major and a CS minor, will taking CS classes kill my chances of getting into Haas (low GPA)?</p>

<p>Unfortunately, no you will not.</p>

<p>Hi. I am currently waitlisted for CS61A since I signed up for the class during phase II (I never thought the class would fill up that fast). I am however number 264 on the waitlist of a class that has 805 seats. Do I have any chance of getting into the class? I heard that for lower division EECS classes, most people do get into the class from drop outs and possibly opening up a new section, but how accurate is that? I am a 2nd year L&S undeclared student thinking about possibly majoring in CS so it would be awesome if I could actually get into the class.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Have you ever traveled to Santa Cruz, and if so, what’s the easiest way by public transportation?</p>

<p>Do Chem students have fun? I saw a video and it didn’t seem like it, I got the impression that it was like 80% work, and 10% sleep/eat/shower, and 10% fun. lol</p>
