<p>Stay AWAY from the College of Chemistry. With CoC you don’t have any room to decide the classes you’re taking and you’re stuck with an unhelpful group of people. This includes GSI’s, professors, counselors, etc.</p>
<p>If you’re not the best at chemistry…if you didn’t go to a high school that had a good lab program…chances are you will sink and GSI’s will NOT help you. The GSI’s for Chemistry 4A-4B are not helpful–they will try to answer your questions as lacking as possible despite how much help you need.</p>
<p>Berkeley is the #1 school for Chemistry in essentially the world. However, that also means that it’s very difficult and really the ones most capable should be majoring in it. If you believe that you’re really up top even before college begins, more power to you. If not, you’d better watch out…it might break you.</p>
<p>But hey, this is all my opinion.</p>
