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

Additionally, despite popular opinion, L&S CS is officially not capped and the department stance is that transfers are expected to declare by the end of their second semester here rather than the traditional first semester. There is no one semester deadline for declaration for L&S CS.

See: Computer Science Bachelor of Arts - EECS at Berkeley

That web page specifically lists the 3.30 GPA requirement in CS 61A, 61B, 70 to declare the L&S CS major.

Any L&S major where the requirement to declare includes a GPA > 2.0 or grades higher than C is capped (enrollment), where the higher GPA or grade minimum is used to limit enrollment to stay within the department’s capacity. Note that the L&S CS GPA minimum of 3.30 is higher than that of some other capped majors like economics (3.0), psychology (3.2), statistics (3.2 in math prerequisites, B- or higher in STAT 134 or 135), ORMS (3.2).
