<p>Do you have all the pre-reqs?</p>
<p>Which major did you apply for?</p>
<p>I have the history and Poli 1 reqs down. I’m pretty sure if I take classes online in the summer I could knock out psych and soc. I applied as an English major but I really want a minor in media/comm – I might want to do journalism but even for a government/public policy job i think it’d be beneficial. </p>
<p>Also, I wonder if I know you lol - I went to De Anza but now i’m at Foothill.</p>
<p>Lol, you know me? That would be too cool! I have all the pre-reqs done except history (WHY does De Anza have to make 2 history courses out of 1?!?!).
But on the Berkeley Media Studies website it says you can declare the major if you have 3 out of the 4 pre-reqs done (one of them has to be MS 10 or an equivalent) and 1 in progress.
I want an early CalSo date, so I can get into the history class I need…</p>
<p>Here, this is straight from the website:</p>
<p>"In order to declare the Media Studies major, you must have completed three of the four major prerequisites, and be enrolled in the fourth for a letter grade. Media Studies/Media Studies 10 must be one of the three completed courses.</p>
<p>You cannot have completed more than 70 semester units (excluding AP) of college course work at the time of application to the major.</p>
<p>You must have a minimum GPA of 3.2 in courses applicable to the major. This includes lower division prerequisite and methods courses, upper division electives and the equivalency of transferred course work.</p>
<p>If you have not fulfilled the requirements as described in the first paragraph, you are ineligible to apply at this time. If you are eligible to apply but do not meet the unit or GPA requirements as described above, then you will need to submit supplementary materials in the form of an appeal as part of your declaration."</p>

I would like to be a consultant, analyst, strategist or advisor(ex. Boston Consulting Group). Would employers prefer it if I took the Math or Theory path at Berkeley Economics?</p>
<p>I’m a Spring admit, and if I were to take the Math path, I would take Mathematics 53 Multivariable Calculus during Fall 2011 at my local community college(only two people get As in classes of 36… at my CC). Then, Econ 101A, Mathematics 54 Linear Algebra and Differential Equations and a required Statistics course during my first semester at Berkeley… I would also be able to at least Minor(maybe even double Major?) in Math.</p>
<p>I would also like to attend Harvard Business School(#1 choice) after working 2-3 years in the corporate world. Would HBS prefer the math or theory path? I’m guessing they would like to see that I took mathematical Economics courses and minored in Math.</p>
<p>This is very urgent! I’d have to register for the course/contact Berkeley by May 15th, so all responses would be greaaatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>According to <a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/major/econ.html[/url]”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/major/econ.html</a> you need to apply to economics your first semester if you are a transfer. I wonder how competitive it is! Any insight? Do you need a 4.0, etc?</p>
<p>bump for someone to answer the question above me^</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know when exactly we need to declare? I’m thinking about adding on a capped major…do we need to declare towards the very end of the semester…or upon arriving?</p>
<p>I’d like to know the answer to this question too!</p>
