There is definitely no need to worry so much. Cal accepted you so you are good enough. They don’t accept anyone they don’t think will do fine. If you put in the work, you will do fine, it’s as simple as that. You don’t need to prepare yourself by reading over course material or anything like that. They wouldn’t make classes where you need to do that; that’d be silly. Don’t let the intimidation get to you. I feel as if everyone in my classes are smarter than me, as if they have some hidden genius. But the truth is there will be people smarter than you and dumber. Even smart people have to put in the work to learn. The only exception is the rare case with super geniuses with like a photographic memory. So just put in the amount of work YOU need to understand the material. You’ll know when you understand the topics well enough or not.
