<p>@ crunchyleaves: Ahh you had to ask lol. Great question. Here’s my best answer: If you apply as a Rhetoric major to Berkeley and write great PS’s that incorporate both rhetoric and psychology well (you have to write in that you’re a double major in your PS since you’re applying Psych everywhere else), then I would say that’s your best bet. Now, if it’s way too much work to write about your passion for both rhetoric and psych, or if the statement just doesn’t flow well in general, I’d advise just going with psych and crossing your fingers. With a 3.61 as a Psych major…you have an okay shot, but you are a long shot. It’s WAY too easy to switch majors once you’re at Cal, so don’t worry about being able to switch once you get here. </p>
<p>However, only apply as a rhetoric + psych double major if you have all the prereqs done for both majors. I can’t emphasize this point enough. I really hope you get in! Your situation is tricky lol. Best of luck!</p>
<p>@ SunnyBanana: Hmmm, well, it doesn’t look great, but honestly it won’t affect your chances all that much. If you have a 3.75-4.0, I would say you’re fine and not to worry about that prereq. As long as you tell the UC’s that you’re taking that prereq in the spring, technically they can’t penalize you.</p>
<p>BAM DONE! For now :). Hit me up with more questions…and this time, I’ll reply promptly.</p>
