How can I figure out which courses to report taking when filling out the online application?
The URAP application asks you to include your grades from up to eight classes you’ve taken at UC Berkeley or another college or university. (Please do not use this section to include grades from classes you took at a high school, even if they are “college-level” or AP courses). This is primarily for the use of faculty. Although we require that you submit your unofficial transcript attached to the paper version of your application, providing some advance information about classes you’ve taken allows faculty to begin reviewing your application immediately on the day after applications close, without waiting for the paper copies to be delivered. You can consider this section an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the skills and requirements necessary for the project. You need to make a judgment about what seems relevant to a project, based on your reading of the project description. Don’t feel obligated to include eight courses–eight is a maximum, not a minimum.
