Does rigor of general ed classes factor into chances of getting accepted?

Or does it not matter so long as the course requirement is fulfilled?
For example, can I take Elementary Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences to fulfill my math requirement instead of something harder like precalculus? Would that decrease my chances of getting accepted to say, UC Berkeley?

What major are you planning to transfer into at UCB? Are both an option as transfer course requirements?

Possibly political science, but I am still unsure… Yes, both are transferable! In other words, I am asking if GPA is ALL that matters when transferring or if rigor matters too? I’m trying to take the easiest classes possible to fulfill my requirements.

I would post on the UC transfers thread: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/
There are many knowledgeable posters that could help you more than myself, but just based on the competitiveness of UCB, I would think at the minimum you would need at least a Pre-Calc course under belt before transferring.

Okay, thank you for your help! :slight_smile:
