<p>luvtoolearn: thanks for all your info. how is the admissions process different at berkeley?</p>
<p>bowtotheserge: do you know of anyone else applying to rhetoric? it seems we are rare.</p>
<p>ccstudent88 - taken from assist.org : </p>

Communication B.A. Option in Communication for Social Change and Rhetoric (CSULA)
Communication Studies: Rhetorical Studies B.A. (CSULB)
English: Rhetoric and Composition B.A. (CSULB)

<p>Now I'm actually more worried about the pre-req thing. My CCC offers two of the three pre-reqs for geography, but I could not take one of them there because it is only offered during the day (when I am working at my inflexible job, which I didn't want to prematurely quit for one class). I complained to the department head about this as it greatly disadvantages non-traditional students - it has only been offered during the day for the past 2 years and will only be offered during the day for the next 1 year. </p>
<p>Anyway, I found that another CCC nearby offers a different class at night that will fulfill the same pre-req, but minus the economic slant, and wrote to the Cal undergrad advisor asking if it would suffice. She suggested that I take it and economics, and I listed all of this on my supplemental application regarding classes in-progress.</p>

<p>Why do so many people go into Political Science?</p>
<p>^why is the sky blue?</p>
<p>because the ocean reflects off the sky duh</p>
<p>because it reflects off the ocean*</p>
<p>nonsense. Does a mirrow reflect off a person or does a person reflect off a mirror?</p>
<p>Oh I never thought of it that way, why is grass green?</p>

<p>This is how Berkeley's students learn?!?!?
haaaaa</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Berkeley only allows you to choose 1 major. There's no alternate.</p>
<p>Pretty sure you guys are kidding, but it has nothing to do with the ocean. O_o</p>
<p>Sorry if I fail at catching your sarcasm.</p>
<p>my dad would say "why are tits fun to play with?"</p>
<p>its just the way it is.</p>
<p>I just fixed a minor error on myBerkeleyApplication. Will admissions officers still be able to view the revised info?</p>
<p>i highly doubt it. the deadline to update was months ago.</p>
<p>sreyes, they told me to fax changes at this point. </p>
<p>Of course it may delay your decision by god knows how long.</p>
<p>^Thanks. I'll be sure to contact them ASAP.</p>
