Haas Transfer Advice

<p>Hi Lobo? I don't know if you are still on this thread but I am an incoming freshman at Davis and I want to transfer to Haas as well and what do you have to do to even submit a transfer app? Do you need to take extra classes? or are there special requirements? Thanks!</p>

<p>Just go to assist.org, find your school, and take a look at the articulation agreement for Haas. There's gonna be a list of courses that's required for Haas and what classes you can take at Davis that are equivalent to them.</p>

<p>Is it possible to first transfer to the College of Letters and Science at Berkeley and then apply for Haas?</p>

<p>In short, no.</p>

<p>CAn i say in my essay that i wanna do international law, which oftentimes deals with business entities, and i am majoring in business to build knowledge that will help me in business law?</p>

<p>I don't see why not...</p>

<p>i was in a UCB transfer seminar once... they advised us not to talk about ur graduate study... atleast try not to... unless u can tie them together really well...
cuz think about it this way...
u vs a student who really wants to study business
y would a business school let someone interested in law rather than business take up one of their precious spots?</p>

<p>That actually does make a lot of sense. I wouldn't try to mention your graduate work if you're serious about getting in.</p>

<p>I am not trying to defend myself here. Rather, I'm trying to find solution for myself because i've been taking all these classes, and now that I hear some opinions from you guys, I am not so sure anymore about what I'm doing. But, this is my rationale. Ultimately, I wanna build up an international law firm, which can transform into a law corporation. I think law is just like other services but more expensive. Business entities produce, but they also need to invest their money in other services (law, transportation,etc) and products (machinery, wutever) to make their own business entity more efficient and profitable. Law is just another business entity that "sells" service, rather expensive one. Business entities merge and break apart, and during all those processes involve law. If a business entity wants to go spread out internationally, they definitely have to comply with the laws of this country and the others. Is this good enough? I don't know.. I just wrote some things down. Once, again, I'm just trying to know if I have the right rationale in getting into this mess.</p>

<p>???? huh?
do u know who opens law firms? lawyers... NOT businessmen..
if google wants to expand into lets say china... which it probably did already... big firms have their own law department
i really doubt there is any "law corporation" out there... is there? correct me if i m wrong... but law firms are normally small... </p>

<p>world class lawyers are known individually... lawyers are not known by a company/corporation or organization... INDIVIDUAL
so its about singularity fame and fortune</p>

<p>business mergings are managed by investment bankers... the lawyers just type out the contract and the 2 parties sign it...
i dun think u know wut ur saying >_></p>

<p>I won't say much cuz i'm too lazy to type
but i called the admissions and the rep said i have a very good rationale and that many biz students at Haas are planning on going to law school after graduation</p>

<p>By all means go for it then. Competition is so stiff for Haas that just about anything that sets you apart might give you a better shot. Maybe they'll see that with you and your career goals.</p>

<p>thank you!</p>
