<p>Unlike the other UC’s one is not admitted into a major at Cal, instead you are admitted into a college like letters and science of which both the PCS and POLS major is in. When you go to Berkeley you simply show the paperwork, go to a session and you admitted into the major. So even though you applied as a PCS major as long as you have completed two of the following American Politics, Comparative politics, IR, or Theory and got at least a 2.0 in those classes you can switch over. But the PCS is still POLS heavy! </p>
<p>As for the IR emphasis, I wouldn’t necessary say that. I too am a POLS IR major and was at Berkeley and unless you’re into development studies or LDC’s and possibly Asia there isn’t much in the way of IR! </p>
<p>The POLS dept at cal is AWESOME, and you can be a IR emphasis but your classes will focus on LDCs or Asia! Also if you go Cal take PS 3 your first semester!! The only reason I say this is because it is a difficult class and I knew Senior who where freaking out because it was their last semester they got “A’s” in all there other POLS classes but nearly failed PS 3 because they slacked off, and nearly had to stay another semester as PS 3 is a requirement for the major!</p>
<p>this is totally unnecessary.
in 3 days, people will post the same stats along with the results, i promise.</p>
<p>i agree with pinker. wait 3 days and your prayers will be answered.</p>
<p>i’ll bet this thread still gets to three pages before it dies… </p>
<p>fuccking people.</p>
<p>darwinjoe1831, is this true for all of their departments? CNR included?</p>
<p>bump… 
let people post it, you guys got your 15 UCLA threads guessing time and day and FA summary theories</p>
<p>@ Darwinjoe</p>
<p>thank you so much for the information.</p>
<p>So you are saying the IR emphasis is limited to LDCs and Asia?</p>

<p>Where do you guys get your score for your admissions essay?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they’re grading themselves or based on what other people have told them.</p>
<p>ah. I was like? How did they get their scores. Silly…</p>
<p>sobizzle, how good do you think your chances are for Haas (based on your research)? I have a brother who wants to go there, so he’d like to know.</p>
<p>man im a fall 2010 transfer, and im really anxious to see UCB’s decisions</p>
