<p>I realize there are some posts about this, but I just wanted to clarify. </p>
<p>At Berkeley, I heard there is a bell curve system. Can someone tell me what type of classes are affected by this, and what are the consequences of this?</p>
<p>Pros and Cons?</p>
<p>all the lower div premed classes, all eecs/chem/E</p>
<p>not so much humanities</p>
<p>oh so I wont be affected too much if I’m econ+stat double major pre-Haas?</p>
<p>Also could you tell me what exactly a bell curve at berkeley means?</p>
<p>oh and haas-forgot about that one, lol. mainly ive heard its there for econ 1, math 1b, ugba 10</p>
<p>basically, you are competing against the rest of the lecture hall and this is how professors will grade you. theres probably a better way to explain this though</p>

<p>You’re going to meet most of the bell curved classes (ba10, econ, your calculus courses). BA10 is the most extreme one.</p>
