<p>Are you TAP? If so you’re in. If not, you got a decent shot, I would say you’re probably in at one of the two if you met all the prereqs (too lazy to check if you did).</p>

<p>For UCI and UCSD you are in.</p>

<p>UCB looks at extracurricular when it comes to HAAS (I believe most of your classes will be there). Since it’s a tough school to get into, they look at your extracurricular activities and leadership skills. There be ton’s of 4.0s and you need to stand tall in front of them. My brother was a business major and his GPA was around 3.8. He got a C in trig, B in pre calculus and a B in business law (1 or 2 Ws). His extracurricular was impressive and he had a strong personal statement. So he got into HAAS (I believe they accepted 70 students out of 1200-1500 applicants).</p>

<p>However, he got rejected by LA since he was unable to finish Calculus II before transferring, so make sure you complete all the requirements. But, I believe you are 70% in for LA.</p>

<p>Your GPA is very impressive and you have managed to make it up to calculus III (which most business majors are unable to do). But, I advise extracurricular stuff and a solid personal statement. If you can pull that off (which I believe you would), you’ll have strong chances for getting in.</p>
