    Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path

    Ohlone covers all 3 listed courses

    Every UC Berkeley Computer Science prep course in the transfer agreement has a Ohlone match, so none of the listed prep has to wait. Take them all before you apply.

    Start with MATH 100

    MATH 100 sits at the start of its sequence for this route, so it fits your first semester, next to ENGL C1000 for English composition.

    What UC Berkeley looks for

    Transfer applicants must complete all required preparation courses to be eligible for admission.
