<p>Hey All,</p>

<p>I plan on applying to Berkeley in the fall and so far I have completed most of my breadth courses and some pre reqs. I was just wondering if I follow the classes listed on Assist.org and complete my pre reqs and g.e.'s will i have enough credit to transfer(the minimum 60 semester/90 qtr units)? or do i have to take more courses?</p>

<p>Thanks for your Input, I appreciate it :D</p>

<p>Better to be safe then sorry xD. Anyone else know???</p>

4

<p>i hear that. which cc are you at</p>

5

<p>Yes, as long as you complete 60 transferable units by the end of spring youll be fine.</p>

<p>How about you?</p>

<p>san joaquin delta college.</p>

<p>what if you don’t get in to HAAS?</p>

9

<p>I am not sure, i might stay longer :frowning: or try ucla.</p>

<p>how much do you think the acceptance rate of econ majors is?</p>

10

<p>my friend was an econ major, and works in burlingame now. but this was when we graduated.</p>

<p>what is it you would like to do with the degree?</p>

<p>why are you so firm on top grade quality UC’s, perfectly fine, just wondering.</p>

11

<p>If you are considering eventually going to graduate school in economics, you may want to take multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations in order to prepare for the more math-intensive intermediate microeconomics and other courses after you transfer for the economics major.</p>

<p>Its just all my good friends go to either UCB or UCLA plus i evaluate the other campuses being as if (MC>MB) hehe econ.</p>

<p>I eventually just want to go to investment banking or finance which requires connections from higher UC’s. </p>

<p>Plus my siblings have attended berkeley, and i heard lot about it lol :D</p>

13

<p>are they successfu? your siblings</p>

14

<p>Yea, well they have jobs now. So I guess so</p>

<p>I will try my best to help you since I am admitted this year into Haas. </p>

<p>1) what is the quality of your courses?
Answer the question honestly, we know there are ez teachers in ratemyprofessor and hard ones, there are teachers who never teach in soci 1, and there are ones that makes you read that textbook like a bible. I personally does not have a lot of courses each semester, (4 the max and never more than that), but I had make sure these are the best teachers I can possiblly find. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>Are you in a hurry?
If you are then yes 60 or 90 is enough, if not, take 3 years. A lot of transfer students take 3 years rather than 2, it really worth it, and really makes you better prepared. </p></li>
<li><p>As regard to assist?
You have to take into account that the diffculty among each category differ. In my opion, a Physics IA is going to be much harder than Physics 10A, and yes admission officers know that. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>hope that helps.</p>

<p>Not sure how the above post pertains to the thread, especially point #3.</p>

<p>what i was mainly asking was if i complete all classes listed on assist and the breadth requirements wil i have 90 qrtr units to transfer(or enough units to transfer). or do i need to take more classes?</p>

18

<p>I regress. Seems the original message was in a PM. My apologies.</p>

You can use the coursework section for the TAG application to figure out how many units you will have if you complete all the classes listed on assist. I used this to plan out my fall, winter, and spring course schedule. It shows you your gpa, the units you have completed, and the amount of units you plan to take. It also shows you the classes that satisfy IGETC requirements. I think it’s pretty neat.

<p>Or you can just open up an excel spreadsheet to list out all of the classes you’ve taken and plan to take to calculate how many units you’ll have. Either way works.</p>
