A friend of mine switched from L&S (undeclared) to COE (IEOR) without much difficulty. He stayed in L&S for his first year and maintained a 3.7 GPA, which shouldn't be impossible to do.

There is no international studies major per se, but there is the International and Area Studies Teaching Program which offers 7 different majors.

Their website: http://ias.berkeley.edu/iastp2006/Programs.asp

I asked this question elsewhere on CollegeConfidential discussion but nobody answered so I'm posting it here again :P

Apparently I have to submit my Intent to Register on myBerkeleyApp online BEFORE I get to view my Conditions for Admission?! Could somebody please tell me Cal's Conditions for Admission (undergrad, college of letters and sciences) so that I can decide whether to actually accept Cal's offer? It would be especially helpful if you take GCE A Levels like I do, but please answer even if you don't take those. Thanks!!

Because it is the oldest and first campus of the system. It was originally THE University of California.

Quick Question:

Does the paid Cal parking permit give you a spot in a parking lot or just allow you to impossibly find space around campus?

Cal parking permit lets you have the ability to attempt to find parking at one of the campus parking lots. Most of them are filled usually. The exceptions are probably the two lots on Hearst in North Side.

I was wondering what it takes to transfer from CNR to the COE. I want to get into the Bioengineering major. Is it impacted and are there any other alternative majors that you might suggest?
