Do you know anyone that got into Haas with a low GPA?

<p>How low? Why do you think they got in? A hook? Luck?</p>

<p>I'm thinking of applying to Haas maybe in my 3rd year. I'm planning to take a few business classes anyways (financial accounting, marketing, OB, etc), so if I get in then, I won't graduate late or anything.</p>

<p>Person A: genius academically, no extracurriculars
Person B: average academically, significant extracurriculars
Person C: above average academically, above average extracurriculars</p>

<p>A and B will get in, C will not. By the way, I’m not pulling this stuff out of my derriere - a good friend of mine had a 3.2 but got in because he started very successful internet company.</p>

<p>I was person C, and I got in.</p>

<p>@ 88888888 you got into Haas? aren’t you doing some sort of bio major?</p>

<p>I was person B. Let’s just say that my prereqs average grade was not good.</p>

<p>@jb … 8888’s a cnr nutri sci/public health premed dude. and he’s a 2nd year.</p>

<p>@sparetire… what were those significant ECs?</p>

<p>Right, i thought so. I believe 88888888 is a she, not he.</p>

<p>hmm… is that so?</p>

<p>We’re starting to sound creepy xD</p>

<p>Oh oops. didn’t see the haas.
How do you guys know my major and my year! stalkers!</p>

<p>I also happen to know that you live on dwight and telegraph. =O</p>

<p>…hmm… close… but not quite lol.</p>

<p>lmao… Well, I know because you were in my nutri sci 11 class last sem.
And you always make threads about your major that I see popping up around here. :)</p>

<p>haha… it’s has become a “post what you know about 888 thread” =_=</p>

<p>i wonder if 888 is chinese…
gotta be…</p>

<p>hahaha, probably.</p>

<p>She’s definitely Asian. I think Chinese…</p>

<p>there was this thread about having too many Asians on campus… and she said something about being asian… xD</p>

<p><___<</p>

<p>i just assume all of you are asian, unless stated otherwise.</p>

<p>are you asian too? o_o
Statistically, you’ll only be right 60% of the time. That’s a failing grade :0</p>

<p>I LOLed at jbtheeunknown’s post.</p>

<p>yes i’m asian as well.
i like how we’ve hijacked this thread.</p>
