<p>I typed up my academic history up until now (includes spring 2008 semester), and I added classes I plan to take in the future and the grades I hope to get.</p>
<p>I'm currently a freshman at IVC and I'd <em>like</em> to transfer to UCLA's bizecon program or (yeah, I'm dreaming) UCB's Haas School of Business.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, 2 writing classes, 2 psychology classes, and an anthropology class all dragged me down quite a bit (argh), so I'm wondering what you guys think are my chances of getting into either school.</p>
<p>But since I'm applying to Business Economics and Business Administration majors, do you think that maybe they won't put <em>too</em> much emphasis on those relatively irrelevant classes? Despite my grades in Writing, I <em>am</em> a good writer and I plan to have above-average application essays.</p>
<p>SAT won't help
Not discouraging you, but the chance for u to get into Haas is almost 0. For Biz Econ, you need to raise your GPA up to at least 3.6 to have a little chance to get accepted (3.7 or more would be safe if u can write essays well along with some ECs</p>
<p>yeah i already know someone who had TAP with a 3.6 and still got rejected for biz econ...i think haas is out of your reach though in all honesty.</p>
<p>Well, my high school gpa was 3.7, which isn't exactly <em>great</em> but it was good enough to get me into UCI and presumably most of the other UC's. But tuition is so damn expensive, and the most recent tax records I could give to FAFSA were from 2005, so they didn't account for the fact that my dad quit his telecommunications job in 2007 for a position as a Ralph's cashier (he's getting old). >_<</p>
<p>So...yeah, I blew my entire high school academic record to save a couple thousand dollars on lower division courses. :|</p>
<p>if you wanna go to Ber, apply to it's Econ, its competitive level is about the same as LA. Try hard in your GPA and essay, you have pretty big chance if your PS is good enough (it should not be hard to you). you can get into at least 1 if not both</p>
<p>Your chances at Berkeley for either econ or HAAS is pretty slim. If you complete TAP, while maintaining your GPA, you will dramatically improve your chances at LA. At 3.7 GPA w/ TAP I'd say you would have a 70% chance of acceptance.</p>
<p>Guys, do you think it's worth it to take two extra classes this summer to bring my GPA from a 3.59 to a 3.63? The classes don't have anything to do with my majors, and they're not honors, but if I can get A's in both of them (as well as the other two I'll already bee taking), then I'd be able to boost my GPA up 0.04 points...</p>
