<p>I guess that's for transfer students, and that's what I will be. In an email, they said that if one wants to transfer to any major in the econ department, then they must have at least an overall 3.9 gpa.</p>
<p>Is there truth to that? Does anyone have any experiences?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
<p>Wow, that's outrageous. I'm an econ major with a 3.23 overall.</p>
<p>The econ major at UCLA is overrated anyway...</p>
<p>I'm not sure about the validity of that, but the average GPA of transfer admits into BusEcon and Econ were both like 3.82 for 2008.</p>
<p>3.9 is a gross overestimate...</p>
<p>Oops.. let me clear something up. What I mean is that I was accepted into the math department and I am going to UCLA. In order for me to switch into the Econ department, it's required that I have an overall 3.9 gpa. </p>
<p>From an email I received:
"You are unable to switch into a Dept of Economics major unless you have a 3.9 GPA and have finished all the coursework that students transferring into the program have comepleted by this Spring."</p>
<p>I wouldn't doubt it that much, then... econ's an impact major, and according the website, the "number of applicants greatly exceeds the number of available spots".</p>
