<p>Are there any other econ majors who are applying to UCSD on here?</p>
<p>Did anyone actually complete SD's ridiculous math requirement? / Does anyone actually plan to?</p>
<p>UCSD requires calc 1c and 1d vs everyone else who only requires 1b at most...</p>
<p>I'll be completing it, but for other reasons. I know people who've gotten in with just 1A and 1B done. Keep in mind that UCB wants up to 1C done.</p>
<p>I think for the Econ major at SD the prereq says Math 5abc and econ1ab but i think you can even get in with up to math 5a calculas 1 b/c i have couple of friends who only have up to math 5a, and in the end they didn't even passed math 5a also =/ but they already got accepted.</p>
<p>what's 1c and 1d?
As far as I'm concerned, i got in to UCSD econ with Calc I and Calc II, and I know i didnt complete the requirement.</p>
<p>"Keep in mind that UCB wants up to 1C done."</p>
<p>Really? The assist page is a bit confusing...it says that you can do 1a, 1b, and 1c, "OR" 1a and 1b....</p>
<p>I'll check with a Berkeley rep asap or something..</p>
<p>It's only 1a and 1b for cal.
i didnt take 1c and i got in.</p>
<p>awesome, thanks, that's good to know.</p>
<p>I'm going to have to disagree with dhl3, unless he went to De Anza or Foothill, in which case I will defer to his experience. But since he said Calc I and II, I'm assuming he went to a semester system school, so we're talking about different courses here. Our Calc 1A-C covers Calc I and II (and a little bit of Calc III).</p>
<p>So assuming he didn't go to De Anza or Foothill, us on the quarter system have two options:
1) Take Math 1A, 1B, and 1C. These three courses are articulated to match UCB's Math 1A and 1B.
OR
2) Take Math 1A, 1B, and Math 23 (Engineering Statistics). In this case, just Math 1A and 1B match UCB's Math 16A and 16B series, which is like a "short" calculus course, that goes slower and does not cover series and sequences I think. Some community colleges offer an equivalent to this but Foothill/De Anza does not. </p>
<p>But really option 2 is null because Math 23 is a) offered only once every few years (Lisa Markus, who makes the math schedules, told me last year it may be offered Spring 2008), and b) it requires a year of calculus as a prerequisite, so we would have to take Math 1A-C anyway. For those applying for Fall 2008, if Math 23 ends up being offered this year (she plans two quarters ahead so I should ask again), and you are allowed to slide on the prerequisites, it would still be useless unless you plan on taking more stat courses at Berkeley. This is because when applying for the major during your first semester at Berkeley while you're still pre-Economics, you have to take one math or statistics course that is required by the major (in addition to one intermediate theory course). So then you're left to repeat material, or take an upper division statistics course.
I hope that was clear.</p>
