<p>To go into Berkeley and as a sophomore apply to Haas, and provided that I get into Haas, that I double major in chemical engineering as well as business?</p>
<p>Also, how far away is Berkeley from San Francisco and LA?</p>
<p>San Francisco: 30 minute drive
LA: 8 hour drive, 1 hour flight</p>
<p>Ooh, ooh! I can answer one of those!</p>
<p>It's about a 20 minute BART ride from downtown Berkeley to SF, 30-45 minute drive (plus parking time!), hour bus ride. It's an hour flight from LA (maybe a bit over), a 6-8 hour drive (on average -- if you drive really fast, toward the lower end, at or below the speed limit, closer to 8-9 hours), 12 hour bus ride.</p>
<p>Answer to first question: Not feasible, you'll have too many classes to take. Not even a load of AP credits would be able to help.</p>
<p>So what would be reasonable to double major in besides business, provided I get into Haas?</p>
<p>Also, freshman year before applying to Haas, what courses do I/should I take?</p>
<p>business and econ is pretty common</p>
<p>All Haas students must sign a contract requiring them to graduate from UCB within 4 to 5 semesters of acceptance to Haas. Good luck if you want to try doing the double major.</p>
<p>I've said the same thing for those who want to do EECS and Haas double-major: it's just about impossible to do both due to the amount of classes needed by both and the lack of overlap classes. Unless you have a ton of AP credits, do summer school, and kill yourself for four years and/or a genius, it won't happen. You could double-major in Haas and Econ but that just seems really redundant and pointless. Honestly I'm not sure why so many students are interested in a double-major but the college really discourages you from them and I have to agree. You have no room for any other fun courses, double-majors don't help you that much in getting jobs, and there are just better courses of action to take. A minor, for example.</p>
<p>I heard that you can't minor in Business anymore and that you should just do courses of concentration. </p>
<p>thoughts?</p>
