thank you so much ! that ' d be wonderful i ' ve opened my gates ! <| sep |> It is not the same engine . Not even close . <| sep |> sun is sold out here , moon is plenty x . NL <| sep |> 2 weeks to Midwest . <| sep |> At Berkeley , it ' s really not practically impossible . I know people who did it . I transferred from MIMG Microbio . to ChemE at UCLA . It ' s definitely doable , but a significant part is based on luck of the draw regarding your professors . In my experience , your GPA depends on whether or not you get the easy professor . I luckily had some easy professors that handed out As like candy , but other professors were a lot more stingy . Getting a 3 . 5 GPA for two quarters in your math and science classes will likely be tough but not impossible . If you ' re a high schooler trying to decide , for reference , I came in with 4 s on both AP Physics C exams so I ' m not an expert at physics , but still did well in the class . I got a 5 on BC Calc , so I started with MATH 32 A people with AB Calc start with MATH 31 B which some of my friends had difficulty with . I didn ' t take AP Chem so I came in cold for CHEM 20 A but it ' s honestly barely what you would expect a chemistry class to be . It was definitely challenging getting and maintaining the required GPA , but it ' s not at all impossible . PS If you ' re choosing between UCLA and Cal , I was in your position ! It ' s a tough choice , but the schools are similar enough , it comes down to which location is preferable and quarter system vs semester system . I like UCLA ' s location and ubers are much cheaper in SoCal vs NorCal but I honestly am not a fan of quarter system .
