<p>Freshman intended CS/Stats/Bio major. (2 of 3)
Pulled a 2.7 last semester and got a C- in Math 1B.</p>
<p>Do I need to retake this course in order to pass prereqs for both majors? Also, I know I ****ed up but how likely would this 2.7 affect internship opportunities, getting a double major and overloading on classes. </p>
<p>Any help/comments would be appreciated.</p>
<p>As a CS major, I think that just as long as you have a 3.0+GPA you’re fine. And if you do, make sure to put that on your resume. What really separates you from the crowd as a CS major is prior experience and personal projects. One of the greatest things about being a CS major is that you can always learn and create new things on your own. So I would suggest to keep your cumulative above a 3.0 in order to be able to put that on your resume and work on broadening your skill set and projects. I suggest joining a hackathon or getting a group of friends to start on a project. You shouldn’t have a tough time landing an internship if you adhere to learning and coding on your free time.</p>
<p>As for your question about pre-reqs., I know that the CS department looks at the average for its technical pre. reqs., so you’re fine if your technical cumulative is above a 2.0.</p>
<p>According to the stat major website, [Statistics</a> Major](<a href=“http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/94#Prereqs]Statistics”>http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/94#Prereqs), “*A letter grade of a C or better must be earned for EACH prerequisite.” I’m not sure how strict they are about that though. You can always email the adviser to make sure.</p>
<p>CS is currently not capped, so you just need a 2.0 GPA in the prerequisites.

<p>However, there are rumors on this forum that the increasing popularity of majoring in CS may mean that it may be capped so that a minimum GPA higher than 2.0 is required to declare the major.</p>
