Berkeley Requirement Waiver?

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>I'm working toward transferring to Berkeley for engineering. I finished my first semester of English composition (ENGW 300), and am almost done with an additional semester of english,
"ENGWR 302 - Advanced Composition and Critical Thinking". </p>

<p>I just checked out ASSIST again, and it looks like while UCLA does accept 302 as a second English course, Berkeley does not. It lists "ENGWR 301 - College Composition and Literature" as the only acceptable substitute (at my college) for their "R1B" requirement.</p>

<p>I really hate writing. Please tell me I don't have to take another one of these classes. </p>

<p>P.S. </p>

<p>The ASSIST transfer agreement was not updated for 09-10. It's still 08-09. Am I grasping at straws with this? I can also write very well when I have to, so I'm sure I could pass some kind of writing exam instead of taking the actual class. Is that, or something like it, an option?</p>

<p>P.P.S.</p>

<p>I hope my CC counselor wrenches his knee when he gets out of bed this morning.</p>

<h2>Update</h2>

<p>Ok, I just lucked out. I was actually looking at a different college’s transfer agreement. </p>

<p>For R1B:</p>

<p>Berkeley does NOT accept 302 from that college, but DOES accept 301 from them.
Berkeley does NOT accept 301 from my college, but DOES accept 302.</p>

<p>I’m making a note here: Huge success</p>

<p>P.S.</p>

<p>I renounce any bad juju placed on said counselor</p>
