Yes, it’s very hard to get a 3.9 in EECS and Haas. But if you’re exceptionally talented and hard-working, it’s possible.

Check out this guy: http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/r...05_ankar.shtml. In addition to graduating a semester early with straight 'A’s in EECS and Haas, he started an undergraduate research journal and a charitable organization. (Just for perspective, this guy was the 2003 University Medalist and Cal’s most recent Rhodes Scholar.)



Okay, so there is one student who can do it. But come on, you’re going to have trouble finding even a handful of guys at Berkeley who can do this. In other words, one in thousands. That probability is so low that I consider it just about impossible to do.

Let me put it to you this way: if you have to ask whether or not you can do it, you can’t do it.
