In terms of academics, I want to do comp sci but also try to pick up a second major or a minor in finance or business administration. At Berkeley, this is impossible (since doing Haas and EECS is literally calling for trouble)



If you want, you can transfer out of EECS into L&S and just do CS (the converse is not possible); then it becomes relatively easy to double major in a range of things (Math,Stat,Economics,Applied Math etc). I’ve also heard of people doing CS + pre Haas, and going on to simultaneously major in both CS in L&S as well Business (a Business minor isn’t possible though). Also, in terms of competitiveness, CS probably isn’t as competitive of a major as EECS.
