| changusmc: I'm pretty sure it was the physics. Physics is a major requirement for CS majors and if you're missing one class they'll see the whole series as "not completed". If you applied to Berkeley EECS I'm pretty sure you won't get in with missing a Physics class. Hope you applied to L&S CS. Good luck.
Regarding CC vs. UC science classes:
I wouldn't say that the material at UCs is "harder", but it's much harder to get an A. A curve at a CC will rather bring your grade up than down since most people are not that smart. At UC's it's the other way round. A consequence of the harsher curve/competition is that you have to learn the material more thoroughly to get an A, which results in mork work/gained knowledge at a UC. |
