<p>Does anyone know what a safe GPA is for declaring Econ?
I've heard 3.4, and the advisers won't tell me one way or the other lol.</p>
<p>Yeah, I heard it is a 3.4 in the prereqs.</p>
<p>Anything over a 3.0+really wanting to do Econ will get you in.</p>
<p>How can they tell if you really want to do econ?</p>
<p>Get at least a 3.0 GPA in your prereqs and you’re in. 3.4 is just the average.</p>
<p>How are you so sure that you only need a 3.0?</p>
<p>Talked to an advisor and she assured me that a 3.0 was the minimum needed. It’s been that way every semester (I’m a declared Econ major btw).</p>
<p>It’s the minimum needed, but is it the GPA that pretty much “guarantees” entrance?
I heard that number was 3.4</p>
<p>Trust me, if you get a 3.0 in the prereqs, you’re in. The strength of the applicants each semester is roughly the same, and unless everyone who applies one semester has a 4.0, then it’ll remain at 3.0.</p>
<p>Can you declare during your fifth semester at Cal? The website is a little confusing…</p>
<p>According to the website the latest you can apply is the fifth semester unless you have less than 80 units</p>
<p>So 3.4 is the average GPA of economics graduates?</p>
<p>3.4 is the average for people accepted</p>
