Pre-Reqs In Progress: None.
Extracurricular: Sports, work.
Program-TAP, honors, etc: None.

<p>Thought this was in the bag. Waiting on Berkeley now.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.9
Pre-reqs: Completed, with 4.0
EC: Student Club official
Work Hrs: 15/week
TAP: None…I guess that’s why I got rejected.</p>
<p>I’m so bummed that I couldn’t get in.</p>
<p>3.94? sometimes i feel they just pull names out of a hat.</p>
<p>I know, omg, you guys all have AMAZING stats :(… i’m so sorry to hear! Seriously, I don’t understand why they can turn down someone with 3.9+ GPA, ECs, good essays, and TAP !!! My friend got in and I’m sure his GPA is <3.8, very few ECs, ok essays and TAP, plus he’s international student.
@shuangshengzi: try appealing, don’t give up yet!!! is there any other school you applied to?</p>
<p>^ All the people with 3.6+ GPAs who have posted in this thread so far did not have TAP. I guess having TAP may have made a difference, but unfortunately, none of the CCs in my area offer it.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t even offer TAP. Their program isn’t ‘certified’ for Transfer Alliance :-/.</p>
<p>Anyway, LA perhaps saved you for UCB… My best friend transfered to UCB last year… Media Studies, 4.0 GPA. Denied at LA, accepted at Cal.
Anyhow, appeal appeal appeal.</p>
<p>i didnt have tap either. I think i got ****ed over cuz I got AP calc to satisfy calc 1 and i got an A in calc 2 but i have a feeling they rejected me because of that fact</p>
<p>thanks tatty. i applied ucb(pending), ucla(rej), ucsd(pending), ucsb(admit)
do any of you guys know how to appeal???
i’ve no idea at all…
thanks.</p>

<p>thank you thank you~</p>
<p>For the 3.9s who got rejected, I’m just curious but what class was it that you got a B on? It could be that a B on a prereq hurts a lot.</p>
<p>for me. communication 10,just a ge course.finished all pre-req 4.0.</p>
<p>This might be help to some of you: </p>
<p>Last year, people were able to call and find out why they got rejected. I remember someone posted that they got rejected because UCLA accidentally labeled them as an international student and they were able to file an appeal and get in.</p>
<p>look at this post for the number:

<p>I had 3.94 GPA and the only class I got a B was English 103…</p>
<p>I thought I had a decent chance getting into Buz Econ because not only I completed all the pre-req with A’s, but I also finished Calculus 1-3</p>
<p>The only disadvantage that I had was I did not have TAP :(</p>
<p>So for all of you future UCLA applicants, if you reeeeally want to get into UCLA, especially into those impacted majors, better have your TAP certified…</p>
<p>Even a GPA of 4.0 without TAP would not beat a GPA of 3.85 with TAP…</p>
<p>(Thanks for the info jetForcegeminix, I will try to call UCLA on Monday to figure out the reason I got rejected. Since I’m not a US citizen and I’m currently a green card holder, I hope that was not the reason I got rejected… lol)</p>
<p>What about a 3.75 with TAP? Because that’s what I have and my decision is still pending :(</p>
<p>But did you guys apply to Cal as well? if so, for Haas or just econ? What about USC?</p>
<p>3.75 with TAP looks pretty good also…</p>
<p>I did apply to Cal as an econ major, but not USC (probably will consider USC for grad schoold)</p>
<p>However, I would still choose UCLA Business Econ over Cal Econ since I really want to do accounting…</p>
<p>cgee89:
I am taking English 103 (Intermediate College Writing) @ Cypress College this semester and am expecting a B or C, if not worse, from the class. I’m glad that I’m taking it this semester…
And you should definitely call them to see why they rejected you.
My stats:
Biz-econ admitted
I held green card until this Feburary. (I became a citizen :)). However, my profile on the UC application indicated that I am a permanent resident though because when I applied for UCs last November, I was still holding green card.
4.0 GPA as of the end of fall 2008 semester.
IGETC will be completed this semester
No TAP
ECs: really not much
Work experience: a year</p>
<p>When you call them, don’t mention me though. 
I am scared that they might rescind my admission. Orz</p>
<p>rejected here, and i applied for regular econ since i thought i would have a better chance…</p>
<p>gpa: 3.85
pre reqs completed by winter, B in calc 1st quarter, rest A’s
igetc by spring
ec’s: a few, not too much not too little, at least i thought
no tap, no honors
essays: average probably</p>
<p>seemed crazy this year</p>
<p>“You must have tap”</p>
<p>no, I have a 3.93 with no tap and got into ucla biz econ. My school doesn’t offer tap though. That might be the reason. I think it comes down to essays and EC’s. I had an intership at my county’s auditing office. I had done substantial work with a police department. I wrote an excellent essay. I think my passion for economics came through in the application, and that is why I think I got in.</p>
<p>Bottom line for future UCLA ECON applicants: you must have at least a 3.9 and must show that you are really passionate and commited to UCLA. Applying to biz econ just because you want a business degree and its the only uc equivalent beside haas won’t cut it. So do some interships, get obsessed with getting in. I probably have 60+ hours on this forum in the last year.</p>
<p>i think some of us have had 60+ hours on the forum this week just checking for ucla haha.</p>
