Goldpig:
I am a transfer applicant of Fall 2016 Berkeley, and my major is also computer science. I see berkeley website and it posts cs GPA is 3.0, that 3.0 GPA is only for uc transferable gpa? Are there any other requirement for cs major? for example: what is preparation major gpa?
To declare L&S CS after admission to L&S, here are the requirements according to http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/csugrad/#petitioning :
Students entering UC Berkeley before fall 2015 must complete all 7 of the lower division course requirements with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 in order to petition for admission to the major.
Students entering UC Berkeley in fall 2015 or after fall 2015 must complete CS 61A, CS 61B, and CS 70 with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.30 in order to petition for admission to the major.
We only use grades for courses completed at UC Berkeley for the GPA calculation. Students may petition for admission to the major during the semester in which the final technical prerequisites are being completed.
It is likely that you need a GPA much higher than 3.0 to get admitted as a transfer student. Once admitted, you must complete the remaining prerequisites with a 3.30 GPA to enter the L&S CS major. Prerequisites previously taken at Berkeley (e.g. in summer sessions) count toward that GPA, but those taken elsewhere do not.
