Can I still transfer if I am missing a course from my prerequisite??

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I would extremely appreciate if you guys could give me your insight on this!! </p>

<p>I am planning to major in Economics, and I am aiming to transfer to UC Berkeley. However..I couldn't get into the macroeconomics class this semester at my community college...and I am currently applying to transfer for Fall 2015. That means ..if I take macroeconomics next semester..I would be missing...microeconomics. What do I do?? I am currently freaking out..because I just found out that I can't take micro through the UC Berkeley Extension..because their department won't accept it. Worst case scenario..I am planning to take macro and micro at the same time next semester...</p>

<p>Econ is impacted. The more pre-reqs you’ve completed, the stronger an applicant you’ll be. If a major has a lot of pre-reqs then missing one may be okay, and some UCs/majors are less picky than others. But Econ at Cal is impacted, and it only has 5 pre-reqs, so missing one could really hurt you.</p>

<p>The [url="&lt;a href="https://www.econ.berkeley.edu/undergrad/prospective/transfer-students"]website[/url"&gt;https://www.econ.berkeley.edu/undergrad/prospective/transfer-students"]website[/url</a>] says “All five classes (or their equivalent) must be completed prior to acceptance to the major and all must be taken for a letter grade.” So, if I had to guess your chances are very very low if you’re missing a class. Keep in mind that you’ll have to take 2 more pre-reqs your first Fall at Berkeley (Stats and Econ 100/101 A/B), get good grades, and petition for your major, so adding a third class to that already stressful situation is probably a bad idea.</p>

<p>I would suggest taking the class at your CC if you can.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the reply! I really appreciate it!! </p>
