Yay! A new miniseries for my channel - all about reflecting on my experience in college at UC Berkeley. Starting off with a video all about majoring in computer science - the requirements, classes I took, and my overall thoughts on the degree at Cal. Shoutout to mayuko for the inspiration for this video, check out that video here: • My Computer Science De... .

Awesome video! I love making/watching videos on different CS curriculums at different colleges.

@noemig4619 2 года назад

Great video. I needed something like this for political science lol hopefully I find something 🤞 the fact you graduated in 3 and a half years is super impressive :)

Love how down to earth/real your videos are! Just wondering, would you say its possible to get into project management without a technical background (cs, data analytics,etc). Currently studying finance and accounting and I'm interested in product management as a potential for the future!

@kristen5449 2 года назад

thank you for the helpful video! You said that you waited to take certain courses so that you could take it with the professors you wanted. I was wondering if itd be possible for you to recommend a few!

@chaficsinno1574 2 года назад

Hi Evelyn, The key question is: how to know who are the "good energy teachers" in order to make the classes more interesting....

@meghai5618 3 года назад

ty this video is so helpful! I had a few questions - did you take more courses than the ones you mentioned in this video, or is 1-3 courses per semester a typical amount? also, is there a difference in going down the research in cs route in l&s vs eecs? and, I heard that there is a 30% passing rate in the intro classes that require a minimum 3.3 gpa in order to declare a cs major. is that true, and what is your experience with how people do in them?

@evelynshares 3 года назад

I did take more courses! Here's the follow up video with my full schedule ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TXMZbEvVp6Q.html I'll have to pull a friend in to answer the research question as I'm not familiar with that route. As for the passing rate for intro CS classes, I'd be pretty surprised if only 30% passed...I tried looking for more info on this but couldn't find any. Unfortunately my sample size for passing rate is just my group of friends, all who passed. The intro courses are tough, but I feel like if you put in the work and seek out help if you need it, you'll be just fine.

@coochiedestroyer5000 2 года назад

tbh i was actually looking into majoring in CS but my math skills are absolutely ABYSMAL and seeing that CS is very math heavy really put me off :(

hope you still tried... maths is all about trying!

Hey evelyn! Loved your video and it has genuinely been so helpful... i had a question though, is physics or any science(chem or bio) required to do cs? As i have maths and IT right now, im so confused please help me out

@user-zi4if7ff6i 3 года назад

@dooma350 3 года назад

Cal grad here! (20 years ago lol) Can you talk about the process how you declared the CS major? Im aware of the 3.3 you need in CS 61A/61B/70 but is meeting just the 3.3 enough to get in? Or are you in competition with other students applying where you realistically need to get 3.5+ GPA? Also whats the path of people that dont get into CS major? Do they go into Data Science? (seems newer and less comp). Thanks in advance!

@evelynshares 3 года назад

Awesome, go bears! You actually only need that 3.3 in those three classes to be admitted to the major. As long as you meet that requirement, you're in the major I believe. eecs.berkeley.edu/resources/undergrads/cs/degree-reqs-lowerdiv For people who aren't able to meet that requirement, I would say I've mainly see people go into Cognitive Science or Data Science since a lot of the prerequisites overlap!

@dnguyen6 3 года назад

Hi Evelyn, Did you have to know about Linux and shell programming in any of the CS courses or just knowing MS Windows was enough?

@evelynshares 3 года назад

I mostly used MacOS and occasionally Linux, our school never used Windows.

@user-ug9nw4zq4k Год назад

What kinds of outside activities did you do to get into UC?

@van20aguas 3 года назад

Hey Evelyn are you still going to make that video about double majoring? I was thinking about doing a double on computer science and physics but not sure if that would take longer or financially worth it.

@evelynshares 3 года назад

Yes! It'll be out in the next couple weeks, a bit behind in posting since life's been a bit crazy.

@jakechoi9817 Год назад

Hey, Im rising senior high schooler, and I wanna go to UC Berkeley as CS major. Since its extremely hard to get into UCB computer science, do you think it would be easier to just get into UCB first then switch major to CS?

@fringehead9883 Год назад

Starting in 2023 it will be more difficult for non CS applicants to switch to CS, and CS admits will be guaranteed a spot in the CS major. I would say don't apply to another major unless you also have a strong interest in that major, because admission to the college of letters and science CS degree is far from guaranteed. The EECS program as far as I am aware does not even allow people to switch majors into it.

@minhphan4241 3 года назад

Hi, how did you start college classes in the summer after highschool? I tried to take summer classes but calcentral doesn't allow me to

@evelynshares 3 года назад

Hmm..it's honestly been a while since I took those classes. I remember it being pretty simple to sign up for though. Try reaching out to your advisor, they should be able to help!

Hi. I loved your vlog a lot. You need to put out more vids. The scene at 1:12 is my fav. You should most definitely collaborate with the hilarious RU-vidrs Bad Friends. Their pranks are like Vitaly mixed with a blend of Faze Clan. They're a hilarious team of friends in SoCal. You should check their RU-vid out and give the crew a subscribe! 👉 #BadFriendBaddies
