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.

Is there an international studies major? I searched under the college of letters and science, but couldn't find any..

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

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!!

Ah yes, my mistake - just checked carefully again and there IS a reply. Thanks for letting me know!

do ppl call berkeley mostly UCB or Cal?
i personally prefer UCB...but i see Cal everywhere...I don't even know why it is called Cal. Enlightened me please?

UCLAri

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

Smallz3141

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?

punkdudeus

it only allows you to hunt for parking

Golden Bear

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.

what is the importance of Cal receptions?

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?
