<p>Haas is a two year program at Cal…so you don’t get into Haas as a freshman. You need to apply as a sophomore. Try to bring that ACT up though.</p>

<p>You can’t apply directly to Haas. You get into Berkeley first and then you submit an application to get into the Haas major/school. Also, there is only one major in Haas, Business Administration, but you can have a concentration on finance, accounting, management, etc…</p>

<p>Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>What do underclassmen typically study before applying to Haas?</p>

<p>You can apply as Undeclared - Pre-Business Administration. You can see the admission information for current Cal students at [Admissions</a> for UC Berkeley Students, Undergraduate Program - Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley](<a href=“Admissions - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas”>Admissions - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas). Remember that admit rate for current Cal students is about 56% (source: [Class</a> Profile, Undergraduate Program - Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley](<a href=“Class Profile - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas”>Class Profile - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas)).</p>

<p>56% admit rate to Haas from L&S looks low considering they’re already Cal admits. Cal would look more attractive for HS students if Haas would be more lenient or accommodating with Cal students and admit a significant number of them instead of giving plenty of slots to transfer admits. </p>

<p>Sometimes Cal looks so ridiculous bcoz of their some stupid system such as this one.</p>

<p>Why is it that Haas doesn’t admit freshmen directly?</p>
