<p>@haasmylove wow i completely forgot to share my stats lol!</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0
Pre-reqs: all done but calc 2, which is in progress
Breadth: 1 in progress, all done by end of spring 13
ECs: 3 clubs, hold positions in two currently; held a position in one last year (currently a member in the club)
Work experience (paid): 25-30 hours per week job and a tutor
Essays: it’s definitely difficult to judge your own essays, but hopefully i did ok or at least good enough to get in… i hope!
For the haas essay i wrote about questioning the status quo.</p>

<p>you all have amazing stats/ecs etc. i hope we all get in!! aaahhh!! :)</p>

22

<p>@haasmylove and comp100
you guys have really good gpas and ecs. i cant see why you wont get in…
my 3.8 seems super low compared to everyone’s 4.0 right now lol
how are we supposed to wait for another two and a half months?
the suspense is killing me!!!</p>

23

<p>does haas read the regular uc application? or do they ignore it and only concentrate on the supplemental essay, resume and sar?</p>

24

<p>@umairk27</p>

<p>Awww don’t be so sad…I think Haas should be fed up with 4.0 “nerds” and is more than willing to accept imperfect gpa!</p>

25

<p>@umairk27</p>

<p>I don’t know…I have heard from my friends that they emphasize more on the January update…but I think they do see the uc app…maybe they will just combine the supplemental application and uc application together and try to have a 3 dimensional analysis of the Haas applicants…just my thought@@…</p>

<p>Niceee :slight_smile:
you stats are really top-notch!
Guess I should take a picture of u at Haas Orientation next semester! :)</p>

27

<p>@umairk27 most of the transfer students I’ve talked to had a 3.8-3.85 GPA. I think haas focuses a lot I. Essays if you’re over the 3.8 mark. And plus you’ve already completed Calc 2 which is really good, I know I definitely wouldn’t have a 4.0 if i completed calc 2. i hope they read the UC application though, cuz I think my UC app essays were stronger than my Haas one. Pushing through these next 2 months is gonna be so tough!!</p>

28

<p>I know. The coming two months are gonna be tough and long for me, despite how much I think I would not get in…</p>

<p>Anyway, has anyone of you received an invitation for the Alumni Scholarship? If so, are you gonna apply?</p>

29

<p>I thought there is no invitation you can just apply by May 1 for the alumni scholarship?</p>

<p>@ comp100
You are right. I just received an email from CAA saying they have mistakenly sent out invitations to transfer applicants, the application period for us actually starts on May 1.</p>

31

<p>I read around here that the avg Haas admitted GPA was 3.81 so you guys are golden…don’t sweat it. Best undergrad biz program in CA. :)</p>

32

<p>@emprex</p>

<p>Thank u the kind words! :slight_smile:
Yeah, haas is great…
if it denies me this year, I will stay another year and reapply…it is my love! :D</p>

@comp100</p>

<p>Awwww…I only got the leadership scholarship email! Does that mean Haas only sends Alumni Scholarship invitation to the predetermined applicants? :(</p>

34

<p>Wait you guys are scaring me lol. I never received any email about any scholarship. I thought you have to apply for these these scholarships, isn’t that what it says here or am I confused: [Scholarships</a> | CAA](<a href=“http://alumni.berkeley.edu/services/scholarships]Scholarships”>http://alumni.berkeley.edu/services/scholarships)</p>

35

<p>@emprex did you apply this year?
But I heard that even 4.0 gpa students get rejected even with all the requirements met. So that’s why I am so worried. I get so terrified every time I see that only 91 students were accepted out of 442 last year. That’s crazy!!</p>

36

<p>@comp100</p>

<p>Don’t worry! that email is useless now!
I think the Berkeley scholarship email will be sent to you some day before May 1 st :D</p>

37

<p>how long have you guys been at a cc? are you all transferring out after 2 years?</p>

38

<p>@umairk27</p>

<p>2 years。。</p>

39

<p>I think the 4.0s that were rejected were actually the ones missing the 7 course breadth. In the past, if you were missing the breadth, your app was automatically tossed which would explain 4.0s getting rejected.</p>

<p>Good news is that I don’t think the breadth is required this year. Ms Sun has a great blog and states here:</p>

<p>[Ms</a>. Sun’s UC Admissions Blog - Changes to Haas Transfer Admission Requirement](<a href=“Error”>Error)</p>

<p>So you guys are all in good shape. I’m applying for econ but expecting rejection. At the end of the day I’ll be happy with any UC :)</p>

<p>@emprex</p>

<p>I don’t have all the breadth finished by Spring… :frowning:
Don’t be so sad! You will get into Econ! Econ admit rate is like 23% or so, but haas is 3 times harder to get in.:smiley:
Honestly, some nights I think I should have chosen Econ instead of haas…I just want to feel secured :frowning:
But it is okay. UC is only a stepping-stone…It won’t kill me if haas rejects me :)</p>
