<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I am trying to decide whether I should transfer UCD -> UCB. The main factor is whether I can get into the economics major during the first semester there.</p>
<p>Davis GPA: 3.85
Major GPA: 4.0
Finished econ reqs
Finished math reqs with Calculus AP and Math1B. Just need to take Stat20
UC reciprocity (if that helps)</p>
<p>Chance?</p>
<p>Your stats are great. I don’t see why you would have a problem getting in.

<p>They want you to list an alternate major if you have a GPA of 3.1 or lower. I’m sort of relieved</p>
<p>What is the average GPA of those accepted into the economics major?</p>
<p>you just need a 3.0 in prereqs to get in. you might still get in if u fall below still.</p>
<p>^that’s for Berkeley undergrads, it’s probably different for transfers</p>
<p>I believe transfer students still need to take some more pre-reqs for econ before declaring once they get here. the op is worried about getting into the econ major once he has already transferred in.</p>
<p>I’ve been lurking around more and I’ve read some people saying that to be competitive for the major you need upwards of a 3.5</p>
