Transferring to Berkeley L&S CS after transfer admission to Berkeley as another major?

@Ohm888,

It’s definitely confusing but I am told that “capped” and “high-demand” are still separate labels with “capped” referring to the unit/semester cap usually associated with the first semester transfer / fifth semester freshman declaration deadline policy.

AFAIK, only Economics, Public Health and Psychology are currently considered “capped” with ORMS and Social Welfare flip-flopping on their stances every year.

@CCCKid,

Assuming you are not able to take the Math 54 equivalents over summer and don’t have the AC requirement met, your academic advisor will probably recommend that you essentially would follow a variation of Plan B.

1st Semester: Math 54 - CS61A/AS - CS61C - Alternative Major course
2nd Semester: CS70 - CS47B - EE16A - Alternative Major course
3rd Semester: CS1xx - CS1xxx - Tech elective - AC requirement
4tth Semester: CS1xx - CS1xx - CS1xx - Tech elective

Definitely a heavier schedule without a lot of leeway toward the unit ceiling.
