Berkeley L&S + AP scores + IGETC =???

<p>I'm getting pretty frustrated because no one at the counseling office at school can give me a straight answer on whether getting a 3 on my AP Lit exam & using it to clear Engl1A (aka Freshmen Composition) on the IGETC is OK with Berkeley..</p>

<p>I hope that didn't sound too confusing >_< but basically: I turned in my AP Lit score of a 3 & recieved credit for Engl1a for IGETC and I know that for Berkeley's College of L&S, you can use the IGETC as subsitute for their Reading & Composition requirement but I've also heard that Berkeley only accepts a score of 4 or 5...</p>

<p>So does this mean I have to take Engl1a again because I got a 3 even though IGETC allows me to use that to cover its Engl1a req (wow I sound repetitive sorry T-T)... even if it's not a major prereq?? My friend told me for Haas, it specifically says that 3s are NOT accepted for Engl1a but the English major page (on assist) says nothing about that.. </p>

<p>Note: & unfortunately, I'm an English major T_____T;; so I hope it doesn't look too bad that I'm taking Engl1a so late... (I'm applying this fall) </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Depends on your CC’s igetc. If they take the 3 for eng 1a, they will count it for your the igetc. The IGETC is an agreement between the UCs and your specific CC. I don’t know about Haas though.</p>

<p>I got into Cal as an English major (this is me trying to build random rapport).</p>

<p>Anyway, why don’t you just take the English composition class at your community college? If you’re an English major, think of it positively–that is, a GPA booster.</p>
