Intra-transfer to EECS

<p>Hello everyone, I am going to Berkeley as a L&S student coming Fall. I originally applied wanting to do an econs and business degree. However, since then I have decided to do EECS instead. </p>

<p>I am taking CS61A, Math 53 & Math 54 and a RnC for my first sem(Fall 2011) and I am confident of getting at least a 3.6 technical GPA. However, my question is this, is there still a chance that I might be denied admission into EECS even with that GPA? Thank you very much! </p>

<p>P.S I know that there is a CS in L&S also but I'm more interested in the EE side.</p>

<p>Information from the College of Engineering:
[Change</a> of College — UC Berkeley College of Engineering](<a href=“http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/prospective-students/admissions/change-of-college]Change”>http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/prospective-students/admissions/change-of-college)</p>

<p>But it does not say how difficult (GPA wise) it is to get the change into EECS approved.</p>

<p>Which part of EE are you most interested in? If you are willing to take six upper division CS courses (which can include CS 150 and 152 about hardware), L&S CS may be more of an option.</p>

<p>Hey thanks, I remember seeing something like “it is advisable to get a 3.2 GPA for transfer into EECS” but they didn’t give any specific numbers. One of the sophomores who also transferred told me that the general rule is to have a GPA higher than the people already in the major but I have no idea what that is. (he had a 3.9 when he transferred)</p>

<p>And anyways, I’m more into the design of electrical circuits etc.</p>

<p>There is this page, but it is for students already in the College of Engineering and want to change major within the College of Engineering:</p>

<p>As far as average GPAs, this page:</p>

<p>has some for the entire College of Engineering. Note that EECS is by far the largest engineering major.</p>

<p>Oh thanks, but the thing im worried about it is whether I would still be denied admission into engineering even if I get a 3.6 GPA or higher?</p>
