<p>Part of The reason that Berkley is so strict about their prerequisites, is because if I’m not mistaken they only allow you 4 semesters to complete your program. If you come in missing prereqs, then it becomes difficult to impossible to complete all the necessary coursework in 4 semesters. </p>
<p>My suggestion would be to map out your coursework once you transfer to Berkeley. Factor in the prerequisites that you will not have completed as well as all of the coursework necessary to complete your degree. If all of that cannot be completed within four semesters, then you likely would not get admission.</p>
