Myth 5 and 6 are not myths at all. You need a strong preparation for most STEM majors and at least at Berkeley, for engineering you need to apply to the COE and for a specific major. L+S is different.
- mamoswined 9y agoYep, engineering was a different college within my university and that's common in many public schools. It was not easy to switch in, they only allocated a few spots a year for it.
- CalChris 9y agoTell me about it. I was the victim of some of this bad find yourself advice. I had a 3.8 when I petitioned to transfer into EECS from L+S. I got in but the following semester EECS was heavily impacted and they turned away 4.0s. The liberal arts are awesome. I took a ton of their classes. You really can find yourself there. Engineering is not awesome. You cannot find yourself there. You can only suffer which was I will admit, gloriously awesome. But I had nightmares for years afterward that I hadn't finished this rec or that rec. EECS sent me to the hospital my senior year. It's a tough route but I'm tougher for it.
- tfmatt 9y agoI had a recurring nightmare in which I registered for a class at the beginning of the semester (generally a summer semester) and I somehow forgot about it the very end of the semester. I've know others to also have this exact same nightmare.
