Haas chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>So I just experienced a 3 hour rape in my intro to comp sci class. I walked into the final with a solid A and I think I came out with my grade dropping many folds. I needed at least a C- in the final to salvage an A- in the course, but I don't think I even have that.</p>

<p>Anyways, I was pretty much getting all As in my classes, including UGBA 10, until this class. My question is: how badly are my chances hurt for Haas now if I have As for the core pre-reqs but a below average gpa? (below 3.7).</p>

<p>I seriously felt like dropping out of school after taking that comp sci final.</p>

<p>how does one single class drop you from a 4.0 to below 3.7?</p>

<p>CS3 is known for giving out easy As… you should be fine :S</p>

<p>@ HelloAll: I mean my overall GPA. My GPA wasn’t that great my first semester and I was hoping this semester’s projected 4.0 was gonna bring it up.</p>

<p>@ StarryNight: Will Harvey curve the class if it turns out a lot of people did horrible on the final? From what I heard, almost everyone did bad on the final.</p>

<p>Maybe you’re overreacting? If you did A-work throughout the semester, I don’t think you did as bad as you think you did.</p>

<p>I hear plenty people get in with 3.4-3.6</p>

<p>and some people get in below that.</p>

<p>I even heard someone got in with a 3.2</p>

<p>^ Then again, those people usually had a combination of good essays and amazing resumes :(</p>

<p>I heard the person with the 3.2, had no extra curriculars, and was planning to do economics, but applied to Haas for the hell of it, and got in.</p>

<p>yes, the process of applying to Haas for the hell of it without even caring if you get in because economics is your primary interest anyways does seem to have a great track record for producing acceptances :]</p>

<p>why do u wanna kill this guy’s hopes and dreams? You want less people to apply? You angry you didn’t get in?</p>

<p>And there’s still a chance he could get in.</p>
