Got into Cal..can someome please help me out?

<p>Hey everyone! I was just recently admitted to Cal (which was a complete surprise to me) and needless to say I'm EXTREMELY excited, but to be honest I'm intimidated as well.</p>

<p>I was admitted to the College of Letters and Science for Fall. </p>

<p>My question starts with this: I'm actually very interested in business. So, what would I need to do to get into Haas School of Business?</p>

<p>From what I've heard and read, it's very competitive to get into the school, somewhere near 50% of applicants within Cal. </p>

<p>Now, I plan to work my butt off to get into the business school, but if I'm denied, my back ups are:</p>

<ol>
<li>Economics</li>
<li>Environmental Economics</li>
</ol>

<p>The issue is, both of these majors are "capped" majors, meaning they're impacted. So my next question is, if I had to defer to one of these majors, how hard would it be to get into one of them if they're both impacted?</p>

<p>Cal has always been my dream school, but I'm not sure I want to go there if I can't get into any of these majors.</p>

<p>Please leave any answers and information that could help me out. I've been wracking my brains all week because of this!</p>

<p>Thanks in advance to everyone!</p>

<p>You need to get as high a GPA as possible - especially in the pre req courses (UGBA 10, econ 1, Calc 1A&1B, Stat 20/21). Then build up your ECs, and have good essays to complete the application. </p>

<p>I have heard it is not that difficult to get into econ - you just need the GPA.</p>

<p>Welcome to cal :)</p>
