Does Haas prefer students to finish all of their prerequisites before applying?

<p>^ xD before anyone gets confused, prereqs should be done by end of spring semester prior to starting at the Haas School of Business (not prior to applying)</p>

Haas states that the application process is weighted 50% grades/coursework, 15% resume, and 35% essay; that being said, Haas does know that some people take classes in the spring purposely to avoid it affecting their gpa when the application comes out in fall, so they will take it into consideration. </p>

<p>I wouldn’t think it would make a big difference if you get a B in Stat W21 instead of taking it spring; Haas has other things they look at on your application. Try to get a A on the class, but if you can’t, it’s not a big deal. Hopefully you have leadership/internship/extracurricular activities that will help you stand out in the application process. Well-written essays are another important factor as well. </p>
