<p>it’s not that difficult to switch out of CoE into, say, L&S. i know two people just from the top of my head who were able to switch out of EECS into L&S, despite having mediocre GPAs (2.5-2.8). </p>

<p>the only reason they’d reject you is in scenarios like: you get C’s in math courses while in the CoE and you apply to be a math major in L&S.</p>

<p>I think those two people you know were very lucky. </p>

<p>Consider the official L&S college change policy.</p>

<p>*You will be considered for change of college only if (not counting college credit you earned while still in high school) you:</p>

<pre><code>* Have completed at least one semester of coursework at UC Berkeley

  • Have completed fewer than 90 units at the end of your last term before admission to the College
  • Are able to complete your degree within the College’s unit limit
  • Have completed Entry Level Writing and the first half of the Reading and Composition requirement (by the end of your freshman year)
  • Have also completed the second half of the Reading and Composition requirement (by the end of your sophomore year)
  • Are eligible to declare a major (if you have completed 60 units or more)
    </code></pre>

<p>Please note: Grade Point Average is also a significant consideration for admission to the College. Students who meet all other criteria and have a 3.0 or higher GPA are more likely to be approved.*</p>
