Heyyy. Maybe someone can answer this so I can stop calling/e-mailing Berkeley twice a day. (And also, sorry for cross-posting this. I just need an answer before I pick my classes for next semester.)
I sent this long e-mail to UCB about how I want to make sure the classes I’m taking are lining up with what’s expected from their end–I even made a PDF file of the Assist agreement with different colored highlights for classes completed, classes in progress, and classes left to take. I got a response back that was super helpful but left me feeling like I’m totally fu… I mean screwed. This is what it says:
“After reviewing your evaluation of your coursework using both agreements, it appears that you completed Psych 2H (for General Psychology), Bio 11A & 11B (for Biological Science), Soc 1A (one of two Social Sciences), and Math 42 (one of the quantitative requirements). You also highlighted the courses you are planning to complete prior transferring to UC Berkeley, and I encourage you to take Psych 36 to meet the Neurobiology requirement, Ling 10 for the other social science requirement, and additional preparatory courses in preparation to calculus. You may complete the Psych 10 (must be taken at UC Berkeley) and either Math 1A or Math 10A at UC Berkeley upon transferring.”
I know people were talking about the new calculus requirement, but on my Assist, it says that my two stats classes (one I’m currently taking and one I will take next semester) will satisfy the qualitative analysis section under the “Other courses that satisfy the quantitative requirement for the Psychology major.” The classes the UCB counselor suggested I complete upon entering the college, Math 1A or 10A, are both calculus classes, which I guess I could do over the summer if I absolutely needed to. I would rather keep my two stats classes, though, since they’re significantly easier. I’m thinking maybe she just didn’t see my other math class and I’m just being paranoid, or does calculus absolutely have to be part of the QA section???
