@kingiceland96 CoC is basically one of the top 2 programs in the country, so that’s gotta be a good thing right?
By the way, here’s a very new thread from the last week or so that will help you decide on Berkeley:
http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/2136831-101-reasons-to-attend-berkeley.html
@whostolemycookie Data Science has been an official major since last Fall.
@ProfessorPlum168 Im actually thinking of minoring in the program! The website says they’re aiming for fall 2019 but its not confirmed. Any idea if it will actually happen?
@whostolemycookie sorry, I misread your original statement. Yeah, the actual requirements for the minor is a big mystery as to when it will come out. The Data Science department for the most part hasn’t communicated things that well prior to an event happening.
For sure, I would expect Data 8, Data 100, 1 year of Calculus, CS 61A, and probably CS 61B to be part of the minor. Most likely other upper division classes would be a probability class, a MLDM class, and one C&ID class as well. Just a pure guess of mine, loosely based on what it takes to get a minor in CS.
I wouldn’t hold my breath re the DS minor. They’re so vague as to when it’s rolling out. Very sad.
But @ProfessorPlum168 probably has a good handle on it.
I always felt they needed to broaden their minors at Cal.
@Ohm888 @ProfessorPlum168 thank you for all the info!! What other minors should I look into in this case? I’m not very good with maths and I thought the DS minor might help with my quantitative skills as a poli econ major and broaden my job prospects
The DS minor will be out soon I would think. Too many people inquire about it almost every other day on the internal DS forums.
Has anyone been able to figure out why we don’t see the cal grant?
@Romeo233 both my cal grant a and b are out
@whostolemycookie that’s really weird because I have been awarded a cal grant and it’s not showing on my financial aid. I know others are also having this problem.
@anthro101 I have that same problem too. I was surprised that I received no grant money but got $18k from the Transfer Scholarship. Have you SIR’d yet because I haven’t and maybe that’s why its not showing for us? Or maybe it’s waiting for us to see if we are going with their housing options, which will affect the amount of grant money we receive?
Anyone here a disabled student?
@transfer2019stu yeet
@transfer2019stu Yes, I’m in the disabled program in my cc because I have diabetes type 1.
@GoodAfternoonSir my disability isn’t ‘physically visible’ either. I wonder if Cal disabled services will allow us priority registration
@transfer2019stu If my appeal is accepted by cal then yeah I’ll definitely apply for the program haha. Im hoping for the best!
I’m so confused… sorry if this has been answered already. But I had initially labelled my housing selection as ‘Off Campus’ but then changed it today to ‘University Apartments’. My gift aid more than quadrupled and instead of just saying ‘gift aid’ it also says ‘Berkeley Transfer Scholarship’. Anyone know why this changed??
@transfer2019stu dude, did you check if you are eligible for university apartments? I was a bit dissappointed when I found out i wasn’t when i thought i was.
@GoodAfternoonSir oh man… so university apartments are only available to those with kids/who are married ??
