Econ Major Question (paranoid :( )

After browsing through the website more carefully tonight, I just realized the gpa requirement is from the overall gpa of the 5 prereq courses. I’ve always thought it was your overall gpa…

Well I screwed up with a C in Math 1A =… so now the only way to get anything above 3.0 is for me to get B+ in the remaining 4 courses: math 16b, econ1, stats21, econ100a.

Either way, I’m definitely going to push myself 100% much harder this semester, but what if I end up below the 3.0 requirement upon applying for the major? Knowing Berkeley, getting a B+ is not something easy so if I somehow getting something below that in one course, I’d be screwed?.. Please help… I’m so paranoid right now…

Sorry for sounding so scrambled, but I’m freaking out as it never hit me the gpa requirement was for the 5 prereq until tonight. Any CC veterans want to shed some light regarding my situation :(.

Thank you so much beforehand… I have to post something or this paranoia will make these last few days of winter break hell :(.
