<p>Alright, so i have a question about Berkeley's Art requirements. </p>
<p>I know that it's mandatory to have 1 year of art....unfortunatly, i don't know if i'll be able to fit art into my schedule. it's pretty much been planned. </p>
<p>Is there any way i could bypass this requirement? I'm extremely good at art history; in fact, i am our quizbowl team's "art guy"....would self-studying for the AP Test be an acceptable substitute?</p>
<p>F) Visual and performing arts
UC-approved high school coursesOne yearlong course of visual and performing arts chosen from the following: dance, drama/theater, music or visual art</p>
<p>AP or IB ExaminationScore of 3, 4 or 5 on the AP History of Art, Studio Art or Music Theory Exam;
score of 5, 6 or 7 on any one IB HL exam in Dance, Film, Music, Theatre Arts or Visual Arts </p>
<p>College courses
Grade of C or better in any transferable course of 3 semester (4 quarter) units that clearly falls within one of four visual/performing arts disciplines: dance, drama/theater, music or visual art</p>
<p>those are the options to fulfill the req. kinda sucks cause i just found out and now im gonna have to remove berkeley from my list b/c i’m not self-studying for no reason other than one college</p>
<p>Were you in band or choir or anything? I think those count. Also I know quite a few people who were accepted regardless of their art requirement. Although they were also ivy league qualified.</p>
<p>I have no musical talent whatsoever. My electives were always business courses.</p>
<p>unfortunatly i wasn’t in a band or choir or ever took an art class in high school. :/</p>
<p>however i’m probably going to end up self studying for ap art history senior year…will berkeley be able to see this?</p>
<p>i’m guessing there’s no way around this w/o self studying?</p>
<p>anyone have an answer? ^</p>
