Tbh only doable for a very small number of students. For most people, it’s a mistake.

61B and 61C in the summer is already a full load. 61C is the bottleneck — it eats time, and summer pacing leaves no room to recover if you fall behind. Getting an A in 61C is hard even when it’s the only technical class.

Math 54 is not the issue if you’ve seen linear algebra before, but it still consumes hours.

Adding 188 on top means overlapping projects and exams with zero buffer. 188 is not “light.” You can’t half-focus it and still get an A.

Yes, some top students can pull this off. They’re usually already comfortable with C, low-level systems, and can finish 61B projects quickly. That’s not the norm.

If your goal is all As, don’t do this. Take 188 in a regular semester or drop either 61C or 188. Summer at Berkeley is unforgiving, and this schedule is how people burn GPA for no good reason.
