<p>Currently I hope to transfer to Berkeley for my Junior year (fall 2015) as a double major in Chinese and Political Science. However, I can’t find the prereqs for Berkeley’s East Asian Languages, what are they or where can I find them? Also for the last year and a half I have been experiencing unexplained medical issues that can (especially when I’m stressed) interfere with me performing as well as I know I can. It also has limited me participating in some of the extracurriculars I would have liked to participate in (ex. ice hockey), since muscle weakness and shakiness is one of my main issues. Will I even have a chance at transferring because of this?? My GPA should be around a 3.7 or 3.8 by the time I transfer. Thanks!</p>
<p>Could you please post your transcript and list some of the ECs that you have been doing? For extracurriculars, you don’t have to do physical things. I personally didn’t. You can join a club to volunteer and/or become an officer; do leadership conferences/various other workshops; visit old folks homes; volunteer at some sort of religious institution; and showing familial obligations are just some ECs. </p>
<p>Have you tried going to assist.org?</p>
<p>Hey! Yeah I tried to find it on assist.org, but it was extremely confusing.</p>
<p>Well I did do a music group since I play cello, I tried to join the Model UN, but when I started my medical health wasn’t as good so I dropped out. That is my biggest problem I’ve had- if I start adding in too many ECs, I don’t have enough down time to recover from going to class and doing homework. Since overall my condition isn’t as bad as when it first occurred, I believe next year I’ll be able to pick 1-2 ECs to add in… This summer hopefully will be getting a job and if not, my academic advisor suggested I work with Asian Immigrant families over them summer.</p>
<p>Also, I forgot to mention, that I may be spending a semester as Sonoma State from an National Student Exchange Program because I really just need to get out of Minnesota for the long winter since it seems to make my medical conditions worse… I don’t really think that would help my transfer case at all.</p>
<p>Course I’ve taken so far:</p>

<p>Next semester:

<p>One of my main concerns is that I <em>did</em> take an easier freshmen year because I didn’t want to overdo myself… Thanks for your input!</p>
<p>@MNfresh </p>
<p>When you apply for next fall, which major will you be applying as under? </p>
<p>It sounds like you’re having anxiety attacks. </p>
<p>Again, I have to ask…could you please post your transcript? What school do you go to?</p>
<p>@Calbro
^^ transcript in my last comment I edited</p>
<p>School: UMN Twin cities</p>
<p>(the doctors think my anxiety is making it worse- before they’ll do anymore testing I have to finish a 8 week anxiety treatment, however the neuropathy like symptoms I’ve recently developed are concerning me)</p>

I’m a double major in political science and chinese (Asian American Languages) If I had to only pick one I would pick ALL</p>
<p>@MNfresh </p>
<p>On the UC application, you have to choose ONE. I would choose the major you have completed the most prereqs for. </p>
<p>@ocnative
Thanks, if I did transfer would I then be able to declare a double major? AND I believe I will probably have around the same amount of prereqs done for each major, so would it be a good idea to pick the less competitive one? Or does that not matter too much?</p>
<p>pick AAL*</p>
