<p>Yes, but you might have to stay longer.</p>
<p>I was talking to a dorm peer adviser.. and he said that applying junior year is a good option for some, especially for people who think they can bring up a low GPA with more coursework. He said that even if you are not in Haas in junior year you can still take business courses, so that when you get accepted into the program senior year you will still be on track. And everyone gets equal chance when signing up for classes too...</p>
<p>The department head of Haas, in a question/answer section looked a bit dubious, saying, "Well, we can't stop people from doing that," when discussing people applying during their third year, since they auto-boot you after 4 semesters at Haas.</p>
<p>I don't know what to interpret from that, though.</p>
<p>Also, not everyone gets equal chance signing up for classes. Haas students get priority in business classes, and for certain required classes for business students, Haas students get guaranteed entry.</p>
<p>I'd say, if you're stronger junior year, apply junior year. However, even if you don't get into Haas, many of the Haas teachers overlap with the economics teacher, so if you get into economics, you'll still get a great education there.</p>
<p>Make sure you take economics classes or whatever-other-major classes as well though, especially for economics. Also, you need to apply before you hit 80 total units (not including AP) or else you cannot apply for an economics major as a back-up.</p>
<p>Keep in mind you can only apply once.</p>
<p>Yah Im in engineering, but am still interested in Haas. I found out it doesnt matter when you apply, you just have two years to complete the degree. Also I guess you can take Haas courses during the summer. They told me if I was interested in bussiness, but didnt want to overload with two BS degrees, I could take the classes I was interested in during summer, when it is open registration to everyone.</p>
