I believe you only have your phase I during CalSO when most classes haven't filled up yet, so it shouldn't significantly alter your ability to select classes.

Thanks for the response.

I have another question. I understand that I need to meet Cal's AC requirement by taking AC approved courses. I would really like to take one that doesn't give much work and grades easily, as I don't want another work-load on top on my engineering classes. Which classes/prof would you recommend? Is the Asian Studies one alright?

Thanks a lot.

hey, I'm an asian male from South Carolina, and I'm visiting Berkeley this weekend. I was wondering if any student had a place for me to sleep for the nights April 20-22? If you have something like 4x6 feet of floor space, I will definitely take that. I've checked hotels in the area, but all of the ones nearby are running at $120+ a night =_=. Any help would be much appreciated!

I have to mail in a form to the financial aid office in order to verify that i have a sibling that will be going to college next year, and the form asks for my student ID#. I was wondering if you get that only after you submit your SIR. If thats not the case, where can i find the number?

It depends on how you switch. EECS -> L&S major would be easy. L&S -> Engineering not so easy. It all depends on the major. Switching into let's say Geology would be easier than into BioE.

Not really. There is a chance that sometimes your class can get full by phase I but don't sweat.

Now Phase II that's the problem
