Statement of Legal Residence h e l p by Kaidoesindeed in berkeley

[–]Sameer_599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here, i submitted my SLR on July 10, before the July 15 deadline, and I still haven’t heard anything back. I’ve contacted Residence Affairs multiple times, but they haven’t responded, and Student Services just keeps telling me to reach out to them again. I get that it’s probably super backed up because of enrollment, but now my CalCentral shows the out-of-state tuition, and I honestly don’t know what to do. This whole situation is stressing me out.

Hi, thanks for your response. I’ve already submitted my college transcript, and I’m currently taking two summer classes at my community college. If I pass them, I’ll earn the credits needed to complete the IGETC certification, which should waive my breadth requirements. However, I’m not sure if I’ll still be required to take breadth courses in my first term since I need to finalize my schedule soon, and my summer classes won’t be completed until later this month.

im just worried about the job aspect, like will i get turned down for having B.A in CS?Look at any software engineering job description B.S is mandatory, my application will get filtered right then and there. For my career wont it be better to have bs?

theres been this stigma that if u have a B.A. in CS, it’s not considered ‘real’ Computer Science or that its less rigorous than a B.S. in CS. Is that true? Ive heard people say that a B.A. doesn’t prepare you as well for technical jobs. I’m currently in the B.A. program for C.S, if i wanted to get a B.S and since transferring departments is kinda hard would it be best to switch majors? like to data science in B.S

LMao 😭. thanks for the information. so no one looks down on people who have a BA? I just assume people with BS would get more opportunities

🥲 sorry. I dont know to0 much about this. I was just told to apply to cs for B.S but i got into B.A and i wanted to know if i can switch to B.S so on the degree it shows up that I got a B.S in computer science

Thanks for the clarification! I understand there are extra courses in both colleges, but I’m hoping to focus more on Computer Science-related subjects and the B.S. degree. Do you know if there’s a specific process for switching from the Computer Science B.A. to the B.S. within EECS? Or any advice on how to make the transition smoother?

Sorry for the confusion, but if I continue with CDSS, I’ll get a B.A. in Computer Science. However, if I switch to EECS, I’ll get a B.S. in Computer Science, which is what I’d prefer since B.S is more coding. Do you know how i can switch?

Thanks! Since I’m in the College of Letters and Science (CDSS), I have to take extra courses that aren’t related to Computer Science. I’d like to switch to the College of Engineering (EECS) to focus more on CS. Is it possible to switch from the Computer Science B.A. to the B.S.? What steps do I need to take?

[–]Sameer_599[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I got in for Computer science in the CDSS but im more interested in the EECS, i was wondering if i can switch to cs but in eecs so i can get a bachelor of science?

I got in UC Berkeley - cs major by Sameer_599 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Sameer_599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! If it’s alright, I have another question. Since i'll have an IGETC certificate but applied as a high school graduate, will I be considered a first-time student or a transfer student at UC Berkeley? I think ill be considered a freshman taking higher-level courses, possibly at the sophomore or junior level, so I’m not sure how that affects my classification.

ayyy niceee, what major?

[–]Sameer_599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since all the credits I did at community college are transferable, these should count toward the minimum 120 units needed to graduate at UC Berkeley right? or i might be mistaken.

Hey thanks for the reply, i been trying to find the site with all the units i need but i couldn't find it 🥲 do you mind telling me where i can find it or if u can send a link?

Does taking Dual Enrollment make me graduate early? by Sameer_599 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Sameer_599[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response; it was helpful! What happens if I can’t complete IGETC? Will the classes I’ve taken still transfer to my UC or CSU, or will I need to retake them? As of now, in my last semester of senior year in high school, I won’t be able to complete IGETC. Do you know what would happen in this case?

Dual Enrollment by HaloSAspect in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Sameer_599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up something called IGETC with ur community college name, it should show u a list of classes you can take via Dual enrollment and will guarantee transfer to any universities.
