<p>It looks fine (from my perspective). Might as well add in the math major to complement everything ^_^.</p>
<p>If you want, you could take more your freshman year when you aren’t really taking courses that are too demanding (unless you get that Hilfinger guy).</p>
<p>Regarding your question about having a social life: depends on how well you are acquainted with the subjects you are taking. There are people who take far more courses than you (are planning?) and have perfectly normal social lives. For example, my roommate took</p>
<p>Math H110
Math 113
Math 191
CS 61A
EE 42
CS 70</p>
<p>his first semester at Cal and he had a pretty normal social life (hanging out, joining clubs, etc). In fact, he had more of a life than I did =p.</p>
<p>However, I know people who are struggling with a lone CS major where 1 CS class per semester kills the majority of their social life. </p>
<p>Point is: you are the best judge of how comfortable you are with certain subjects. Look over the curriculum and books of the classes you are taking (as well as past exams). If they look trivial, take more classes! If not, you might struggle. </p>
<p>Though, with that schedule, I don’t think you’ll have it too hard…but again, this is from my perspective.</p>
<p>Anyway, as stated above, you are the best judge of how well you can handle such a schedule. The one suggestion I would make would be to find a way to shift at least half the classes you plan on taking in the summer elsewhere. Speaking from personal experience, it is very easy to get burnt out after having school almost non-stop, and it can have negative effects on your performance (although, once again, only you can make the call; you might be able to wiz through financial accounting and CS70 in your sleep).</p>
<p>I have another question regarding the upper div requirement for econ major
on the website it says:</p>
<p>“A maximum of two approved upper division courses (including the macro and micro theory courses) may be taken outside the department towards upper division major requirements. This includes courses transferred to UC Berkeley, courses taken through EAP, at summer school elsewhere, and the pre-approved courses offered at UC Berkeley through other departments (Business, History, Legal Studies, etc.). For more information, please contact the Economics Undergraduate Advisor. Courses officially cross-listed with upper-division Economics courses do not count toward the two course maximum. The outside courses on this list are marked with **.”</p>
<p>Does that mean if i take UGBA103, 131,132,and 133, only 2 courses would count toward the upperdiv requirement for the econ major?</p>
<p>I just noticed that it says officially cross-listed courses do not count toward the 2 course maximum. Since ugba 103 is considered equivalent as econ136, does that mean ugba103 count as an econ upperdiv requirement, but doesnt count toward the 2 outside course maximum?</p>
<p>Why not take Economics 101A-101B-141 instead of 100A-100B-140 since you are presumably good enough at math to handle that (though you may need to add Math 53 to your schedule if you have not already had it previously)? If you are considering graduate school in economics, or jobs in computational quantitative finance, the more math-heavy economics courses are likely better choices.</p>
<p>There was some poster a while ago who said that Economics 136 covered most or all of the material in UGBA 103 and some 130-series courses.</p>
<p>Also, is it really worth going for the economics major, as opposed to taking those economics courses that you are interested in?</p>
<p>Note that only one of the above courses would be considered an inherently high workload course (CS 61A with programming assignments – even then, CS 61A is probably not as high workload as many other CS courses with programming). The rest are basically math or math-like courses in workload – which means not a very heavy workload for a student for whom math comes easily.</p>
<p>High workload courses are typically those with labs, computer programming assignments, art studio, music performance, or large term projects.</p>
<p>^ That would be highly advisable, however. More math/stat probably = more opportunities in CS. </p>
<p>Why don’t you try to load up 5 courses a semester and see if you can handle that kind of load? Maybe you can and it will probably allow you to take more math/stat to pursue the 101/141 series in Econ. Assuming you are a freshmen, 61B with Econ 1, Stat 21, and a P/NP breadth is pretty decent and doesn’t require a lot of work. You could load up a second EE/CS class (say EE42) if you have had some AP CS/Econ/Stat experience.</p>
<p>The only additional prerequisite math course you would need is Math 53 for Economics 101A and 141 (101B only needs Math 1B). You could substitute Statistics 134 for Statistics 21 if you want a more in-depth statistics course.</p>
<p>Based on your schedule plan full of business courses, it looks like you really want to major in business.</p>
<p>For finance, why not take Economics 136 and 138 instead of trying to get into UGBA courses that likely have no space? Also, not sure why you want to have four accounting courses in your schedule.</p>
