<p>Hello guys!</p>
<p>I'm having trouble deciding between these two schools. I'm an aspiring CS/Econ major (if anyone could also talk about the impacted status of these two for the upcoming years it would be helpful as well) or possible Math/Econ Major. Anyway I was hoping to get some insight to make a more informed decision.</p>
<p>Berkeley Pros
-Stronger programs
-More diverse
-Better weather</p>
<p>Berkeley Cons
-Tougher competition
-Ghetto area
-Not sure if I will be able to get the CS/ Econ major</p>
<p>Notre Dame Pros
-More intimate/family feel
-Although rigorous, I feel like it would be more lax compared to Berkeley
-Better Financial Aid</p>
<p>Notre Dame Cons
-Not sure how I would fit socially ( I am Asian, not catholic, and not really a big sports fan besides tennis)
-Weather
-Far from home</p>
<p>The economics major at Berkeley basically requires a 3.0 GPA in the prerequisite courses.

<p>The CS major currently requires a 2.0 GPA in prerequisite courses, but there are strong hints that it will be raised to a 3.0 GPA (or in that area) in prerequisite courses.

<p>Math and applied math are not capped, although the math department does not recommend that students with worse than B- grades in lower division math courses declare the major.
