Which pre-req should I do?

<p>As you know different UC’s have different pre-req’s even for the same major. So, should I take a shakespeare class that is required for UCB, (my reach) or should I take a history class (intro to middle east would be interesting) that is required for UCI (third choice school). </p>

<p>I am done with most pre-req’s for all other UC’s, it’s just these two schools that have pre-req’s on assist.org that I have never taken. I think a Shakespeare course would be very interesting and is probably required for all UC’s to graduate, but that intro to the middle east course sounds very cool too. I don’t know which course I should take between the two.</p>

<p>I’d choose Cal’s prereq because afaik you don’t need to finish every prereq for TAG with UCI. Better to improve your chances at Cal.</p>

<p>You’ve listed valid reasons for taking the Shakespeare course so I would go with that.</p>

<p>I’ve heard (only heard though) that all UCs minus B and LA are more lenient with the pre-req part of your application, so I’d say go for that Shakespeare class. Why not take both this year though?</p>

<p>I could take both but it would be kind of tough because that would equal 3 english classes in which multiple 5-10 page papers are required for all. It can be done but I don’t want to be stuck writing 30 pages of essay’s every couple of weeks, especially since I have to take a soc science class and advanced spanish on top of those classes. This is why I have to choose. You’re right though it’s not impossible to take them but I don’t have the time to take 15 units in the spring and work. Trying to keep my units at 12.</p>
