L&S Declare without all Prereqs

[BerkeleyHopeful]

<p>I'm only short EE42 for CS but now I probably can't take any CS upperdivs spring. Quite a few people have told me I can declare without all prereqs completed if I have above a 3.5 technical GPA, which I do. I've researched this quite a bit but I can't find a shred of evidence so are these people just deluded or did I miss some website somewhere? Thanks</p>

<p>[Undergraduate</a> L&S CS Students | EECS at UC Berkeley](<a href=“http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/csugrad/#petitioning]Undergraduate”>http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/csugrad/#petitioning) says that</p>

The Computer Science Prerequisites</p>

<p>You must complete all the lower division course requirements before you will be considered for admission to the major. These are:</p>

<pre><code>CS 61A (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs), 61B (Data Structures), 61C (Machine Structures)
Math 1A and Math 1B (can be satisfied with Advanced Placement),
Math 54 (Linear Algebra and Differential Equations)
CS 70 (Discrete Mathematics and Probability Theory)
EECS 42 (Digital Electronics). (We highly recommend taking EECS 43, a one-unit laboratory course taken P/NP, during the same semester as EECS 42.)

<p>While an undeclared student has the lowest priority in upper division CS courses, it does look like a number of them are not anywhere close to full for fall 2012, according to the schedule.</p>
