<p>Hello again everyone… I have a question. What requirements could I “test out of” with these scores (and classes)?-</p>
<p>-800 French SAT II
-760 Writing
-700 Math IC
-5 AP French lang.
-4 AP English lit.
-4 on AP Environmental Science</p>
<p>-an international relations course (taken at UCSB)~ B
-a geology course (that I think fulfilled some UCSB quantitative reasoning requirement)~ A</p>
<p>-In high school, I got up to math analysis (AKA precalculus), and statistics</p>
<p>Thanks! :D</p>
<p>You cannot test out of the seven-breadth requirement at Berkeley. You cannot use classes from another university as an entering freshmen to fulfill the seven-breadth course; if you can petition to have the course evaluated (pursuant that you saved the syllabus, your work, notes, etc. for that class). </p>
<p>You fulfill the first half of the Reading and Composition Requirement. You must now take the second half (with the designated R1B or N1B usually).</p>
<p>*I fulfilled the R&C requirement (first half--5 Eng Lang) but I am opting to retake the R1A because I believe I need to strengthen my writing.</p>
<p>You tested out of the foreign language requirement.</p>
<p>You tested out of the quantitative reasoning requirement (but for poli sci, you do need to take a empirical analysis class *poli sci 3).</p>

<p>I took two classes at UCLA: the American Novel (A-) and World Politics (A). L&S peer advising says that I need to bring in my stuff to get them evaluated; he's pretty sure I will get the units for them, but not the fulfillment of the 7 breadth requirement.</p>
<p>What is the breadth requirement? I don't really understand it.</p>
<p>The 7-breadth requirement requires that you take one course in the following areas:</p>
<p>Arts and Literature
Biological Sciences
Historical Studies
International Studies
Philosophy and Values
Physical Science
Social and Behaviorial Sciences.</p>
<p>There are a set of approved courses that correspond with these 7 subject areas that would fulfill the requirement. Search for the L&S Announcement called Earning Your Degree. This provides a list of courses fulfilling those.</p>
<p>You may take major prequisites to fulfill these courses, but no more than 2 courses from a single department can be taken to fulfill those requirements; these classes may not be cross-listed elsewhere (e.g. You have taken two courses from the poli sci dept and you want to take another to fulfill a third requirement; you are not allowed to do that; nor are you allowed to say, well this class is also listed as a PEIS class, so I can bypass it; that's cross-listing courses).</p>
<p>These breadth requirements are meant to have you explore different areas and decide on a major if you're undeclared. They're an opportunity to have a liberal arts foundation before a concentration on a major.</p>
<p>Calidan, if you're interested in Berkeley, (May 1st is THIS Sunday) I would suggest you sign that SIR soon so you can keep up with the power curve. As a spring admit, you need to have a CalSO event too.</p>
<p>But could/should I sign it even if I'm not sure I'm going to attend? Because while I'm very interested in Berkeley, I'm still having trouble picking between Georgetown and Cal.</p>
<p>why calso event too?</p>
<p>is it mandatory?</p>
<p>That's right; you're still considering being a Hoya. That's really hard to say. (It was hard to give up Georgetown for me).</p>
<p>CalSO isn't mandatory but you do get to register for your classes up to 10.5 units during phase 1; those not attending CalSO register after all the CalSO events I think. </p>
<p>But if you're a spring admit, it might be different.</p>
<p>it is just me or did the calso for fall extension disappear. i can't find it anywhere (where to sign up)</p>
