<p>Ha. It just confirmed that the percentage admitted to my major was the same as the division percentage in fall '05.</p>

<p>dude that is the most god awful grid thingy i have EVER seen, if i go to berkley ia m going to petition to become in charge of that thing and redo ing it.</p>

<p>It's not for us, Malishka! Statisticians don't care!</p>

24

<p>gabe why dont u call UCSB and ask them? i dont think you know what your talking about, for instance one of the majors that has a different requirment is theater arts, yet they accepted her even though there is an audition needed, follow?</p>

25

<p>No, I dont follow. The burden of proof is on someone who disagrees with their posted policies; this has been brought up before, and I was just citing the policies as listed everywhere.</p>

<p>I'm not even sure how your example doesn't fit with what I said; perhaps you are interpreting and not focusing on the specific words I used.</p>

26

<p>how come boys fight everywhere, even online?</p>

27

<p>it means you get accpted NOT based on your major which is what i said and was told over the phone by an ADMISSIONS EVALUATOR, not someone on a message board. why do you constantly try to tell people they're wrong?</p>

<p>Psuperman, this has nothing to do with people being wrong; this has to do with substantive issues.</p>

<p>Now I understand what you were saying, thanks, and that contention is wrong. For most majors, they do not screen for prerequisities. However, here is the following official information:</p>

<p>"Applicants in engineering, computer science and the biological sciences are screened for at least partial completion of major preparation coursework. To be competitive in the admissions process, students wishing to study engineering and computer science must also complete two or three courses in humanities and the social sciences."</p>

<p>Also:</p>

<p>"Admissions decisions are based primarily on the overall GPA in UC-transferable courses. Selective majors require a GPA higher than the GPA required for campus admission."</p>

<p>What you read in writing is much more important than what you hear over the phone, usually because there is so much ambiguity in such conversations.</p>
