<p>nicorobin90, I am an intended math major at Berkeley who wants to go to law school. I originally planned to major in economics, but then I took Math 55 and loved it. My suggestion is that you do the same: Take Math 55. It’ll shed insight into whether you want to be a math major.</p>
<p>As for difficulty, Berkeley has liberal add/drop policies. After you take Math 55, you can try taking a class like Math 104. Work at it for a few weeks. If it is impossibly difficult, then you can always drop the class with no hit to your GPA or mark on your transcript. You don’t have to make this decision blind.</p>
<p>Also, I’m not entirely sure where you got the average GPA number of 2.2, but I have seen sites skew those numbers. There are far more people taking Math 1A, 1B, 53, and 54 than the upper division classes and these lower division classes typically have harsher curves. This can give the impression that the average GPA for a math major is lower than it really is.</p>
