<p>Hi, I'm plannin on doin economics and political science maybe at Cal. I wanted to know whether it's very hard to get good grades in these subjects since a good GPA is important for law schools.</p>
<p>Also, is it tough to double major at berkeley since the workload is already pretty big?</p>
<p>Econ has a reputation at Cal for being tough. Poli sci isn't exactly creampuff, but it's not econ. I'd stick to poli sci if you're just grademongering.</p>
<p>And take all the Zook classes you can before the poli sci department eventually fires him.</p>
<p>Poli sci is pretty creampuffy if you avoid certain classes, but it is becoming less creampuffy.</p>
<p>Double majors are generally doable, besides in certain cases (say, EECS/ business). Which subject areas do you have in mind?</p>
<p>Also, in general, ask yourself why you're double majoring. I think many people do so for poor reasons, but there certainly are some good reasons to do it.</p>
<p>I wanna do economics and polisci double. Do u guys think it's a lot harder to get good GPA at berkeley than at USC?</p>
<p>If you want to go to law school don't double major. It helps you out NONE in the admissions process and only increases the chance you will get a bad grade.</p>
<p>How about 1 major with a minor?</p>
<p>Don't do anything just for law school. Odds are that you will change either your major, career goals, or both. Study something that you enjoy.</p>
<p>Polisci and eco r two subjects i enjoy the most. Is it a lot harder to get good grades at cal than it is at USC??</p>
<p>Anybody...?</p>
<p>Bump (10char)</p>
<p>Can sum1 answer my question?</p>
<p>I doubt it'll be that much harder to get good grades at Cal than USC. Econ is econ is econ...</p>
<p>Are subjects like econ and polisci graded on a curve?</p>
<p>Econ is usually curved, yes. Poli sci...depends. Most classes are usually not curved heavily, since the learning curve for most poli sci at the undergrad level isn't nearly as steep.</p>
