<p>It states on the Haas site that "Students admitted as junior transfers to UC Berkeley's College of Letters & Science or other majors are NOT eligible to apply to the Haas Undergraduate Program."</p>
<p>I know there must be people who have applied and gotten accepted.</p>
<p>You apply directly into haas as a business administration major as a transfer student. You can’t apply as another major such as econ and then transfer into haas, not possible.</p>
<p>yeah thats what people in 06 and 07 did for UCLA. They would apply for Linguistics then transfer to Econ.</p>
<p>i hate people like that</p>
<p>Does anyone knows the accepted rate for Haas each year?</p>
<p>I think the transfer acceptance rate is between 2 and 4 percent but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>you are correct its like 4%</p>
<p>6.8% according to the pamphlet they gave me when i visited berkeley, but the admission lady did say that its a lot higher than that because if you dont meet all the requirements they don’t even look at your app. so if you have all the requirements done your chance is a lot higher. In UCB’s other programs they still look at it even if you have missing requirements</p>
<p>Overall it’s 6% but thats deceiving because the vast majority don’t even complete the prereqs. Out of those who completed prereqs, the transfer rate jumps dramatically to 25%. </p>

<p>^ there’s a flaw with that thinking though. To re-iterate what Perfectsky mentioned…</p>
<p>Let’s assume there’s only 101 spots available, given that 1491 applied and let’s also assume they were all eligible, 101/1491 = roughly 6.8% (so the pamphlet is right).</p>
<p>If you clicked on the link, you would see that out of the 1491 that applied, 402 were actually eligible. The 6.8% is correct, I’m not denying that. All I’m saying is that the major reason why it’s so low is the vast majority of applicants don’t complete prereqs.</p>
<p>I’m just trying to point out that if **all **1491 applicants were eligible, it’s 6.8%, and therefore the number ~25% can be very misleading.</p>
<p>I’m debating whether i should waste my energy and time arguing about this… nah</p>
<p>I have no idea why you agree with perfectsky and not me. I’m basically backing up what he just said with data. w/e</p>
<p>“1089 applicants did not show planned completion of the admission requirements and were considered ineligible. Of the 402 eligible applicants, 101 (25%) were offered admission.”</p>
<p>So I’m confused, basically 1089 people applied to Haas knowing that they didn’t meet the requirements of transfer by the fall? </p>
<p>They didn’t meet the “planned completion”, I thought Haas wanted everything done before you even applied, but these people didn’t even have their pre-requisites done by the time they planned on transferring? WHAT?</p>
<p>There’s got to be more to it.</p>
<p>its not just not meeting the requirements. Haas does background checks and a lot of people lie about their extracurriculars and get rejected for this reason.</p>
