berkeley math transfer with limited pre-reqs

<p>You are going to have a tough time at Berkeley coming in without the math prereqs. The lower division math courses at Berkeley are major weeder courses and you are super time restricted, plus upper divisions require the lower division courses done. </p>

<p>Let’s just say you got in without Math 53, 54 and/or 55 (don’t know if you’ve taken it). With IGETC certification, you are going to need your American cultures course as well. The applied math major requires 8 upper division classes which you are going to have to take over 3 semesters (you are probably going to end up taking more anyways to hit the grad requirements). Over 3 semesters because your first semester you had to take 3 other math classes. So 3 upper division math courses a semester is almost a guarantee for failure, especially at Berkeley. </p>

<p>Source: I was seconds away to SIR’ing to Berkeley and doing Applied Math/Econ. You won’t get very clear answers if you ask anyone there, but I would seriously try and finish at least Math 53 and 54. </p>
