<p>I was accepted to over 5 schools out of high school:Michigan State University, Sac State, Oregon State, Chico State, and San Fran State. However, I decided to go to a community college in hopes to try again at my dream school, UCB.
I plan on majoring in either Econ or Accounting, with a minor in English, and my goal is to attend UCB Law school.</p>
<p>My counselors suck and I just finished my first semester with a 3.67 UC transferable GPA. I really need help as this is a 2 year process and I want to get a more clear understanding of what exactly I need to do to give myself the best chance possible at transferring into Cal (ei. Courses I should take, EC's I could look into).</p>
<p>Last semester schedule
Life Management(csu, not UC) - A
MacroEcon - A 3 units
Business Law - A 3 units
US History - B :/ 3 units</p>
<p>My classes this semester
MicroEcon 3 units
Calculus 1 5 units
Accounting 1A 5 units
English 1A 3 units</p>
<p>I will either intern at a law office this year for my uncle or take summer classes and lifeguard in my home town. Any advice anyone could possibly give me would be GREATLY appreciated!</p>
<p>In terms of what to take, check assist.org to see what your major requires. Also, with Cal, admission is never a sure thing, so have a safety or three. 3.67 is probably towards the lower end for Cal (generally speaking, not sure for your major), better GPA gives better chances.</p>
<p>For ECs, do things that you enjoy doing. If they relate to your major, even better. But show interest, and that you’re not just doing things because it’ll look good.</p>
<p>However, for some reason, it does not mention that additional math courses are recommended if you want to go to graduate school in economics. If that is of interest, take a look at the math courses specified for the math or statistics major (Berkeley Math 53 and 54).</p>
<p>I plan on majoring in Accounting as of now… But I may switch to Economics its going to be a decision made within a year or so. I am definitely going to try to minor in English however as I want to go to law school and it would be extremely useful. </p>
<p>As for the B, I finished with an 88%, it sucked so bad I know it hurts.</p>
<p>Note that preparation for the CPA exam requires 150 semester units of course work, including 30 units of accounting and 38 units of business-related course work. It can be done while majoring in business or economics. Some students use AP or community college units to make up the extra 30 units beyond the typical 120 units that a four year bachelor’s degree requires.</p>
<p>For pre-law preparation, you also want to take some quantitative or logical thinking courses (math, philosophy logic, etc.), since the LSAT has questions of that nature (look up the sample LSAT questions).</p>
<p>In order to complete my IGETC, along with my classes I am taking this semester, I will need 7 more courses I believe(I just put this together and not sure if I am right).</p>
<p>Calculus 2
English 2</p>
<p>2 Arts and Humanities
probably will take
Film Lit. or Art 1A
and
Anthropology, philosophy, or religion</p>
<p>Poly Sci
Physics
Biology</p>
<p>Thats all (I believe) … if I am wrong or if you have any advice on other classes I should take to prepare for the LSAT please let me know!</p>
<p>it also says I need a language besides English, however I took 4 years of Italian in high school and was wondering do I need to take another language?</p>
