<p>So I was admitted to Cal's College of Letters & Science, but I see that the economics major is impacted. Does anyone know how competitive admittance to the major is? Are there maybe any stats available?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>It’s not actually that competitive. Automatic acceptance if you have a 3.0 after taking the prerequisites. </p>

<p>Where on that webpage does it say anything about a 3.0?</p>

<p>3.0 and above = likely to get in</p>
<p>getting less than a 3.0 as an econ major may not bode well for you anyway out there in the job market… so just consider yourself in <em>shrugs</em></p>
