<p>I’m on spring break.</p>
<p>So it’s basically 1 week for me.</p>
<p>Are you not jealous of my perception of shorter time?</p>

<p>I misunderstood you in the other thread! Never mind me!</p>
<p>I’m just as nervous as everyone else!
Haas is still my first choice, but I will be happy to accept Cal Poly SLO’s offer over Santa Clara and UCI for the outstanding financial aid package I am being offered at SLO!</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>My stats:
GPA 3.89 (4.0 major)
intern at a hospital (bookkeeping and payroll)
volunteer once a week at our public library
also included employment experience (form Sep 2008-Jan 2010)
never took the SAT or ACT because I was informed they are not required for transfer students.</p>
<p>Do you guys think they take into consideration whether or not you are first generation college student?</p>
<p>I have the feeling I will be rejected but who doesn’t? After all we are putting our hopes on HAAS (more competitive) not necessarily UC Berkeley!</p>
<p>Once again, good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I’m on spring break also so pretty much 1 week for me as well.</p>
<p>Nocal. Your GPA is good but its not just about your GPA so maybe a lack of relative ECs may be bad but I’m no admissions officer.</p>
<p>@talebi, did you apply to any other schools?</p>
<p>USC and UCI</p>
<p>nice…I really hope you get into those schools.</p>
<p>Thanks I’ve worked really hard and I hope the schools see that in my courseload and essays.</p>
<p>omg this is crazy!!! it’s happening so fast!! 2 years of hard work is all coming down to one moment in just 10 days lol!!
my stats:
3.9
all pre reqs done
lots of ecs
no tap
essays were good i think (private message me so we can exchange essays!)
two internships
two part time jobs</p>
<p>i hope i get in!!</p>
<p>also @talebi818, i read your comments about berkeley and non-uc gpa, but i just wanted to re-confirm that they DO NOT include non- uc transferable courses into your gpa right?? sorry if this question is repetitive, i just wanted to make sure. thanks! :D</p>
<p>Just to let you guys know, I went to HAAS on Cal day and the Advisor told me that pluses and minuses are taken into UC gpa if your school gives them; also she told me they go all the way to the bottom where the calculated gpa is and take that GPA into consideration.</p>
<p>Anyways don’t stress out most of the people who apply aren’t even qualified(i.e missing classes, not up to 60 semester units); as long as you have a good essay and resume; which they told me is what they closely examine(about 50% of application-35%-essay 15%-resume)</p>
<p>Last year they had about 1500 applicants and about 1150 applicants were ineligible so that leaves about 370 applicants roughly 105 are accepted, considering you guys have good stats i feel you shouldn’t be too stressed out.</p>
<p>I am applying next year for HAAS, and since there loosening up requirements 
i am fairly scared about my chances. IF any of you guys could help advise me towards what you did; it would be really helpful if you could post your stats after or before the decision comes out, and any essay writing tips would be really helpful(PM??) I could really use the help. Since i only have a year left can you tell me any useful EC’s haas likes?
Thanks for your help!!!</p>
<p>Good Luck!!! :)</p>
<p>I like how they come out with decisions April 29th and CSU’s need decisions by May 1! I applied to both types of Universities… what a killer!!!</p>
