<p>I have a feeling you’re greatly overestimating your ability to pull off the cs61a/ee40 combo in summer. </p>
<p>Most students in 61A have already taken a programming course in Java or C++ with data structures. I don’t think you’re better off than anyone else in your class with regards to previous applicable programming knowledge.</p>
<p>Your Cisco cert, .net, perl, and Linux is not going to help you at all. </p>
<p>With regards to EE40, how were your grades in Math 1a/1b and Physics 7a/7b? Do you remember your E&M? Were those courses taken at a community college?</p>
