<p>I don't think legacy matters at UCB or UCSD. Also your chance of getting into UCB is different then your chance of getting into Haas. You would first have to be accepted to UCB and then you would have to apply for Haas your sophmore year.</p>

<p>Your high school performance will have little impact on admission to Haas. The vast majority of the weight will be given to your performance in your first 2 years of college.</p>

<p>oh yeah. Well, then, how are my chances of getting into Berkley as an undecided or a member of the college of letters and sciences? I am out of state, but I don't really know what to expect, even though I lived in Albany, near Berkeley, for two years when I was younger.</p>

<p>I think 'Undeclared - Business Intended' is one of the application major choices, but it doesn't really matter.</p>
