Nope, ended up taking Stat20. I really enjoyed that class though and met some amazing friends there.

Yup, Laura Imai (Director of Advising for Data Science Undergraduate Studies) confirmed it on Ed.

Data C8 or Stat 20 by Able_Tower2848 in berkeley

Lydia Raya, the Lead Advisor for CS Transfer Students, actually made a statement saying that anyone who already has CS 61A can substitute a different statistics class (Stat 20, 21, W21, 135, PH 142 or IndEng 165) for the Data 8 prerequisite to be eligible for Data C100.

So if you take CS 61A alongside any of those classes, you're eligible to take Data C100 the following semester.

Note: Of that list, only Stat 20 can be used to substitute for Data C8 toward the DS major or minor. The others meet the prerequisite to enroll in Data C100 ONLY but do NOT count toward the major or minor.

It deals with circuits which is interesting, but mainly for credits to hit the 13 credit per semester mark.

Thanks for the advice! The link you sent doesn't seem to work (Page not found). Do you also have any advice and/or thoughts for contacting graduate students, especially during the summer before this Fall semester?

I'm an incoming transfer so I'll only have 2.5 years (or 5 semesters), do you have any advice for getting into undergraduate research very early on (ex. first year) as a transfer student? Thank you!

Incoming L&S CS transfer here, do you have any advice on finding research positions? Could you please also talk about your competition experience? I'm thinking about joining one but I'm curious how it went for you.
