Alright a few questions:
- I know some people say EECS + Haas is just really hard, but is it even possible for the majority of students even if you study your ass off and have no social life? Or do you need to be a genius to have any real chance of attempting it?
2.If the end goal is entrepreneurship, is just taking some classes at SCET, more worth it? Or if you can actually manage EECS + Business Administration is that route better in the long run.
3.Like before, to get a really good GPA in EECS, do you just need insane study habits, or to be a genius with insane study habits.
I’m sorry if I sound dumb and uninformed I’ve been trying my best to do research but I just can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. (I know M.E.T is a thing but I didn’t really research it at the time and now I regret not attempting it 
)
Thank you to everyone!
If you do want to major in both EECS and business (whether through the double direct admission program called MET or with direct admission to EECS and application to add business later the usual way), you need to take 20 unit (instead of the usual 15-16 unit) course loads each semester to meet the requirements of both majors, as shown in the sample 8 semester schedule for MET students:

In reality, while the combination of EECS and business may seem attractive as a pre-professional course of study to a high school student, many people go into management later in their careers without needing a business degree.
Also, some engineering employers hiring new graduates look suspiciously at engineering students with second majors in business, since they see that as a signal that the student is more interested in using engineering as a stepping stone to management rather than being interested in engineering itself (substitute computing for engineering if you want to emphasize CS). @HPuck35 has written about tha in the past.
That’s what I’ve been hearing that you don’t necessarily need a business degree to go into management, plus there’s always the opportunity for MBAs later. But that being said, how hard are the pre-haas classes (compared to EECS classes)? and also are SCET classes a good replacement then? Thanks for your reply!
@ucbalumnus sorry I wasn’t sure if reply automatically tagged I’m still getting used to this.
