<p>Have you been accepted to HAAS before with a GPA≤3.7?
Also, what was your work/ internship experience like?
Further, were you a student with special circumstances like first generation or low income?
Your feedback is going to help me tremendously in making my decision!-UCB HAAS vs Econ.
If there is another thread I should be looking at, please let me know. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Just wondering, are 1st generation and low income even classified as special circumstances anymore? Because it seems that a lot of people fit into that category nowadays?</p>
<p>You have made about 10 threads regarding HAAS.</p>
<ol>
<li>If you dont have a 3.8… don’t even apply.</li>
<li>If your EC’s are not spectacular dont even apply (this year will be extremely competitive)</li>
<li>If you have more than 1 pre-req left to complete in the spring… dont even apply. </li>
<li>First generation/low income does not matter THAT much if you are not in TAP.</li>
</ol>
<p>Transfer2Best, you really know your stuff! Thanks for your help! :)</p>
<p>Haas doesn’t even recognize Berkeley TAP anyways so I doubt 1st gen low income even matters at all.</p>
<p>Good point.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if it was just me but I noticed that last year more Haas transfers got in than UCB Econ transfers</p>
<p>^ That is because alot of them disqualified due to their pre-reqs. This year, the pre-reqs for HAAS are out the window, so it is much harder.</p>
<p>You don’t need a minimum 3.8 to apply. I got in with a 3.7 as a transfer. Good luck.</p>
<p>Ashley, really?? Were you in their TAP or did you have amazing ECs?</p>

<p>No TAP. Little extra-curriculars (basically joined the fall semester of the application just to have something to put on my application - nothing important/leadership related at all ;]). I did have two years of work experience in a real estate firm which ended up being the core of my application. The personal statements are key - make every word count. I think my statements are what got me in. I was very proud of them 
Feel free to shoot me an email at ashley_mello*********** if you have any other questions.</p>

<p>Hey Ashley, I’m also a prospective Haas transfer and I have several questions just to gauge what Haas is looking for. I’ll just list them for simplicity:</p>
<ul>
<li>Did you take any Haas prerequisites in the spring semester before you transferred?</li>
<li>Did you have any Bs, Cs, or Ws on your transcript?</li>
<li>Did you have any Bs in your prerequisites?</li>
<li>Did you take any honors courses? About how many units, on average, did you take each semester?</li>
<li>How exactly did you elaborate on your work experience in your personal statement? (I’m in a similar situation in that my work experience is probably the strongest aspect of my application)</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Ashley - I know I’d really appreciate any extra information. Anything you can speak on as far as the other transfer students and their EC and work experience?</p>
<p>I’m seriously lacking in EC and work experience and I’d love to hear anything that might help me gauge what kind of level got people through.</p>
