<p>I will be attending Berkeley this fall, and plan on majoring in applied math/econ and applying to Haas (hopefully land a job in finance) . I am also considering minoring in CS, out of interest. </p>
<p>Is this at all doable? Will I be devoid of a social life? If I were admitted to Haas, would it be redundant to major in economics?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone have experience with transferring credit from stanford EPGY- specifically does Berkeley accept Stanford's math 52 A+B (diff and integral calc) for math 53 credit?</p>

This will be difficult, not necessarily because of the difficulty of the major (though this may very well be the case), but because you will have a hard time getting classes, due to so many EECS and LSCS majors taking up most (if not all…) of the spots in upper divs.</p>
<p>
Maybe. Depends on how good you are and how many courses you can pass out of. It will be a tight fit if you can do it.</p>

Maybe. See the first answer.</p>

It would not be entirely redundant, but there’s probably at least some overlap. I’m not the expert on this, though.</p>
<p>My advice: choose a couple of subjects you really like and concentrate on them. Sure, it won’t hurt to take a couple of CS courses, but once you start committing to too many minors/majors, you may very well end up with a cramped schedule and not enough depth in any one subject. I found this out when I was contemplating triple majoring; I planned out a schedule for that and I found it too restrictive for my tastes.</p>
