Will berkeley accept people that have more of the three done?(61A,61B,61C equivalent) I’m just wondering because my community college only offers 61B equivalent.
It is advantageous to take the three prior to transferring, naturally, and doing well in them. But it’s not entirely necessary. People get in without doing so. Because CS is competitive though, it’s best to take as many as you can.
Which CC do you attend? Are there others in your area that offer 61A or 61C?
i go to CCSF and dvc has a course that is equivalent to berkeley’s 61C. CCSF also has that same course, but on assist.org, it doesn’t count towards the pre reqs for berkeley
here are the courses

do you know why this is? i think i can go to dvc, not sure yet
Note that Laney has the equivalent of CS 61A.

For L&S CS, you must complete any remaining prerequisites out of CS 61A, 61B, 70 after transfer with a 3.3 GPA (counting only those completed at UCB) to declare the L&S CS major.

If you are in the area, another option is to take them during UCB summer sessions. Then you will also know if your grades in them are high enough to assure entry to the L&S CS major after transfer before you apply to transfer.
