<p>I applied for the EECS major. However I cannot remember what under EECS I applied for.. whoops. I believe it was the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). It's not under the myBerkApp site or the completed app that I had printed out in November. In any case considering CSE under EECS, I have a few questions</p>
<p>1) Am I actually in the major? Or do I have to do some pre-req classes and than apply to get into the major like Haas?</p>
<p>2) What are the GE classes for both the Engineering school and EECS?</p>
<p>3) What are some of the weeder classes and what general tips would you suggest to evade screwing up?</p>
<p>I'm really new to the entire college scene and so I'm afraid as you can tell..</p>
<ol>
<li>In</li>
<li>Phys 7A/7B (Mechanics/E&M), Math 53/54 (Multivar calc/lin alg&diff eqns)</li>
<li>CS lower-div classes (61A-C) are graded on a scale (set up so that the median is around a B-), while EE classes (20 & 40) are on a curve. Study to stay ahead of your classmates, even if it means working on Friday nights when your suitemates are likely out getting drunk. You'll be competing with the same talented group of students across many of these lower-div EECS "core classes."</li>
</ol>
<p>3) Some Weeders? Math 1B (good if you can place out of this with AP). Physics 7B. CS 61B (although perhaps not, if you are good at logical structures), EECS150, EE40, EECS120.</p>
<p>To avoid screwing up? Get yourself some of those Schaum's Outlines or similar workbooks for courses and just practice problems over and over again. This is the sort of thing that will help you on the exams. The truth is, a lot of times, lectures don't help very much because they will spend endless hours deriving equations in lectures, whereas the exams will just ask you to do problems. </p>
<p>Another thing that may be useful is to already start reading the books before classes even start. I would usually dedicate a few days before classes officially start to read the first few chapters of every textbook for every class, and maybe even doing some practice problems. That way, you can hit the ground running.</p>
<p>Whew. I would hate to have to go through another admissions thing again before grad school.</p>
<p>Also is there a list to what AP courses are accepted for credit. </p>
<p>Mine: AP Chem (4), AP US History (5), AP Comp Sci AB (5), AP US Gov (this year), AP Calc BC (this year).</p>
<p>Will they give me any credit. Esp. AP Comp Sci and AP Calc BC. </p>
<p>Laslty can I transfer any thing from a Community College? I have classes like: Intro to C, Inter. C, Adv. C, Data Structs, Intro to C++, Adv. C++ and Java.</p>
