Is this for students who were already admitted or do you have to go if you’re planning to apply?
@sixsamurai Admitted only. Applications are required to do nothing but follow the application process.
What if I apply for math&cs so that I don’t have to take cs70, and let’s say that I’ll be finishing cs61A at Laney College. Will I directly declare for CS major? (Considering I have also taken CS61A&B at my cc)
@Sean1995 to declare CS major we need to have taken CS 61 series/ ABC and CS 70
For the insight questions could we only answer with experiences from college or could they be from anytime?
@sixsamurai Your experiences should be from college rather than just anytime. They want to see what you’ve been doing now, instead of beforehand. There may be some certain exceptions, say that for instance you developed an interest for your major at a younger age, but typically your insight questions should be focused on what happened during college.
Gotcha. Also, how long does it take for people to transfer from a cc? Is taking 3 years ok? I know you have to apply as an incoming junior but can I apply if I’m already a junior and just restart with junior year?

@CalRunner Hi I am also a transfer student who is hoping to apply to UCB as my number choice for Political Science. Can I ask what your profile looked like when you applied. I will have my IGETC completed by the end of Spring 2017. Thanks
If it was the last couple of years of high school, it’s fine. You may be writing your insights after one year of college only so you need a slightly bigger time frame and they’re fine with that. I wrote on a high school event, and I saw a uc article that said for freshman nothing before high school (3-yr frame at time of submission) so assuming you went straight to college, the last two years of hs is fine. It’s really going to be more about the event and what it says about you.
Does anyone have knowledge of the avg gpa for transfer math major? I’m sitting on a 3.7 and feel it’s too low, also do they take major gpa under consideration or just transferable gpa ?
Junior transfer into Business School.
I have all the prerequisites except I received a 3 on my calculus BC exam in high school. That allowed me skip calculus 1 and 2 in college and I took engineering calculus 3. I know a 3 on calc BC at UCB only counts for calc 1. Do you think that will affect me?
-California resident and went to a great California high school.
-Spent 2 years at The Ohio State University as an accounting major.
-GPA: 3.5 (4.0 for all business courses)
-Credit hours: 60.5 college credit hours(+ 21.5 AP credit hours, 91.5 total)
- all GEs
-all math and science classes
- will have completed all non major business courses
-A few of ECs including treasurer of one of the largest and most unique student organizations.
-A summer business rotational internship
@Sierra1452 I’m not exactly sure if skipping Calculus 1 and 2 in college because of the 3 in Calculus BC would suffice. Someone else will need to comment on this. My first gut would have been to just retake those classes. I think that alone may or may not deem you disqualified for admission to Haas.
@henry1231 https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/infocenter/transfers-major has your information. Anyways, a 3.7 overall GPA fits around the 25th percentile, so you have a decent chance – granted, your holistic profile is as competitive as your GPA.
edit: This is the wrong thread, future viewers should be reading the '17 thread instead.
@Sierra1452 You’re posting in last year’s thread. Regardless, it doesn’t look like you’ll meet Haas’ Calc II requirement and would be ineligible to transfer. AP only covers Calc 1 and applications missing pre-reqs aren’t considered.
Your GPA is also a bit low.
Are you transferring from OSU?
Your best bet would be taking Calc II at a California community college and then apply and transfer from there. Transfers from out of state institutions are lower priority (and unlikely for Haas) and you’re missing a pre-req.
Hello I am trying to take math 54 this semester with James Sethian and it says the class is in the Pauley Ballroom. Is this accurate? Because how can that room fit 500+ students? Thanks
@wilsonusopen Might want to post elsewhere or ask on one of the UC Berkeley groups on Facebook.
@wilsonusopen the pauley ballroom is massive, it should be accurate
@yanrb650 If you don’t mind, could you please send me your personal statement?
do you have volunteers or internship? wow man 4.0 is awesome
