<p>How many will be applying to Haas in 2008? </p>
<p>Let's collect everyone and create an active thread where we can network, ask questions, seek guidance, etc.</p>
<p>I'll start!</p>
<p>how is going here
I am applying to Haas</p>
<p>Ahhh, the naivet</p>
<p>i heard someone here mention 1800
compared to last year's 1300
and
are the 90 people admitted each year inclusive of internal transfers UCB to UCB?</p>
<p>no. If you are a internal transfers, you have 50% admission rate....</p>
<p>so the 90 is basically raw external transfers.</p>
<p>anyone wanna predict what the average GPA this year would be? last year was 3.87 with 1300 applicants.
this year 1800 applicants... safe to say 3.93?</p>
<p>The Eligible Applicants For Haas Last Year Were 443 And Not 1300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>did u see me put a word eligible infront of applicants when i stated there were 1300?
read please?
fine u wanna be nifty on numbers 443 applicants
average GPA was 3.87
90 people got in
10% came from 4 year universities
so lets assume 9 people with probaby an average of 3.8 gpa
put that into consideration and with some math the average transfer from a CC would have an average of 3.92 gpa.</p>
<p>anyone wanna assume that more than 1/2 of the "eligible" applicants had above a 3.8?
i am pretty sure they did</p>
<p>if we take the same ratio of eligible applicants last year and predict this year's eligible applicants we'd have 613 eligible applicants</p>
<p>last year 90/443 its about 20%
this year 90/613 its about 14.5%
then again this is assuming that everyone has an equal chance in the admission process</p>
<p>anyone good with statistics wanna figure out the predicted GPA for acceptance this year?
i was thinking mayB closer to 3.94 - 3.95
then again its run completely from speculation, numbers and data</p>
<br>
<p>_> oh wells could be wrong</p>
<br>
<p>oh oh oh... and then again haas does take heavy preference on GPA we all should accept that fact by now
so those of u who are of the higher tier of 3.8 and above lets double ur chances to about 30%
hey u know what lets be optimistic and make it 33% chance
take a dice and roll it 20 times if you roll 5-6 you win
everytime you roll 1 - 4 think of yourself getting rejected. think it hard</p>
<p>do you feel safe and confident yet?</p>
<p>I think 443 was a fake number made by the school. Where did you get the 1800 number ?</p>
<p>i think 2 people from CC called the admissions at haas.
it was on another thread probably a month or two ago
it seems to be a well known number not just on this forums but by applicants everywhere =/
hey u know what i just hope its not true
but then again it did jump to 3rd in the nation last year. that burst in applicants is no surprise.
but then again if everyone saw how its ranking dropped this year b4 november last year, we all would have stood a much better chance</p>
<p>I think Guardiangel is really good at making joke :> , but I think that the average GPA doesn't really tell us much information about the accepted applicant. The decision will depend much more heavilly on your EC's and essay rather than 0.05 or even 0.1 different of GPA.</p>
<p>I think the chance is relatively stable in the recently years at around 7-8% . At least 2 years ago, when Haas was ranked at 12th, the admission rate was at about 7%, and in last year, it was a little bit less than 7%</p>
<p>true ECs and essays play a huge role
but can u deny that GPA is most significant in evaluating the applicant?
true from ONE applicant to another. its not significant
but if u use common sense and its a pool of applicants instead of a specific student, then the data has increased credibility.
i think statistics is part of the haas requirements. have you not learnt that
i thought 2 years ago it was 8%
i don't remember last year.</p>
<p>90/1300 is 6.9% ~ 7%
90/ 1600 is 5.6% ~ 6%
in a range of 300 applicants there is only a change of 1% if you go according to the accuracy of the transfer pamphlet</p>
<p>I do think this way, the one who have impressive EC usually have high GPA (almost all 4.0) ! and randomly, there are some guys with extraodinary ECs got in with kind of low GPA (3.7 or below lets say) that makes the so called "average GPA" drop. That's why I say, we can't guess the probabily that a applicant can be accepted or not just by the GPA :<. BTW, I have 3.96. Got the first B with a stupid professor. wanna cry</p>
<p>i think the main thing that makes the GPA drop is the transfers from 4 year colleges.
TBH i don't believe that they would choose a 4.0 with little EC rather than a 3.90 with excellent ECs
i think that the 4.0s that got in probably had good ECs. and 3.9s that got in probably had impressive ECs to even things out.
i really don't know how many 3.7s can make the average GPA drop.
the lowest GPA ever admitted from my CC was a 3.87 with unique CCs.
i still think applicants have to pass through a bar set one after another, more like stages into reviewing applicants or filtration.</p>
<p>really, where did you get the 3.87 ? cause it was the average GPA of admitted applicant! I agree applicanat from Uni have a lower aver GPA, but the admitted one as you said only made up 10% of the 90 (9 students), that wouldn't affect much the average 3.87 I think.</p>
<p>3.87 lowest in my CC info was provided by my honors adviser
9 students
an average GPA of 3.95 from 81
and 9 students from 4 year with 3.7
can bring down the GPA to 3.92
a whole 0.03
ofcourse i m not denying the fact that lower GPA admissions get in and pull down the GPA as well but i do remain that you cannot disregard the 4 year applicants</p>
<p>probably, but it's so headache to estimate the admission decision. Maybe we can use this simplier method: 2.5-3 admitted UCLA Bus Econ = 1 Haas Admitted applicant ^_^. Caues most student who apply to Haas also apply to LA</p>
<p>not really... UCLA econ requires extra math while UCB haas breadth requirement is different from UCLA
so i would say there is quite a number of differences.
