Pre- Haas Schedule Help

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Hello, I'll be attending Cal as a freshman this far, hoping for Haas in junior year.
So far, I can probably get out of both semesters of the RC requirements with IB credits.
I've never taken econ before, so I was thinking of taking it over the summer at a community college instead. </p>

<p>So here's my intended schedule: </p>

<p>Math 1A
Nutrisci 10
French 3
Poli Sci 5 (was gonna do econ, but like I said, taking it over the summer. willing to switch out this class for something else)</p>

<p>2nd semester, I'd take</p>

<p>UGBA 10
Math 1b or 16b
French 13
Breadth course, maybe psych 1</p>

<p>Would it be beneficial to retake econ 1 at berkeley even though I'll take it over the summer? I mean to keep my GPA high for Haas? Would it look bad as an applicant if I took a prereq at a community college rather than on campus?</p>

<p>Any advice appreciated, thanks!</p>

<p>Economics 1 is not a particularly difficult course, so why does it seem that you are especially worried about it?</p>

<p>For French, the course after 3 is either 4 or 14, not 13.</p>

<p>Since you have to take Econ at Berkeley, you should take it with Olney who is teaching it in Fall 2014. She’s a pretty good professor from what I have heard and she has high ratings. You should take Math 16A instead of Math 1A if you want a easier time too. Math 1A is more theoretical and it is a lot harder. Math 16A/16B is a lot easier. </p>

<p>For that psychology 1 class for your spring schedule, if it’s for breadth, you should take psychology 2 since it will be a lot easier to get a A (less work too) </p>
