Haas Transfers

<p>I am slightly lost at what I actually have to complete as a haas transfer(and any other prerequisite intensive major). Should I aim for the IGETC certification first, and supplement with the prerequisites listed on assist, or vise-versa?</p>

<p>I was told by a counselor that IGETC should be top priority, then pre-reqs - but ideally, one would get everything done. I do wonder if anyone else had heard a different recommendation?</p>

<p>I don’t know what ^^this guy^^ is talking about…Haas doesn’t even follow the IGETC. You have to complete the 7 course breadth requirements instead, along with ALL the Major Requirements. If you are missing one course your application will be tossed. That’s why every yr more than 50% of applicants are considered ineligible.</p>

<p>I’m female, thanks. Apologies - didn’t realize Haas doesn’t follow IGETC.</p>

<p>I am trying to get into Haas as well. But I have UCLA and USC as backups. So far, I’ve been working on a plan that will qualify me for all three schools by admission time. So far I think it’s doable. Has anyone done this before?</p>

<p>^aMorrison i thought u were adam morrison. anyway to cupertino- yes it is doable. i’m applying to all 3 schools as you. (but for ucla im doing pol sci instead of business econ, which i assume u r doing). the 7 course breadth requirements fill in nicely with the IGETC and USC GE. i only need to take one more class b.c of haas (literature class) and one for USC (sociology)</p>

<p>hah… backups?
you’re in for a rude awakening…</p>

<p>@laker - Thanks for the informative response.</p>

<p>@pinker the UCLA defender- Well I had great stats in high school (4.0) and was accepted to USC already. My goal is to go to Haas (which is ultimately the most prestigious of the three). If I don’t call UCLA/USC backups (safeties), what should I call them because I feel like I have a good chance of getting in through CCC. haha</p>

<p>@cupertino: are you saying you’re applying to UCLA biz/econ as a safety? i believe the UCLA biz/econ program has like a 13% acceptance rate or something. i believe thats why pinker says you’re in for a rude awakening.</p>

<p>the numbers for Bus/Econ at UCLA are pretty damn close to those of Haas.
people with great stats get turned away all day, you c0cky little n00b.</p>

<p>Hmm, every transfer I personally know got admitted into UCLA. I guess I was just generalizing. My bad.</p>

<p>play with this ( [University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu/]University”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu/) ) before you start ‘feeling’ out your chances.</p>

<p>I have d00d. You got the “cocky” part of me right. I am too overconfident with acing community college lol.</p>

<p>Obviously it would appear to be a bad idea to choose such selective programs as back-up, or safety schools. But if I did it(and I’m probably going to), I would choose more than two, thus increasing you chances of at least getting into one. </p>

<p>I’m assuming, of course, that your stats are above the average of those admitted, otherwise it may not be a good idea at all.</p>

<p>lol @ koreanbbq saying haas (6%) and ucla biz econ (13%) is the same.</p>

<p>Bus/Econ UCLA is not a back-up. lol
A solid back-up is UCSB or something.</p>

<p>In any case, the best mindset would be to see it as a win-win.
EITHER WAY, I WIN.
thats where I’m coming from</p>

<p>Is it ridiculous transferring from ucsd to haas? I really want to go to Haas but I heard it’s hard to transfer among ucs…whAt should I do?</p>

<p>I just ran the numbers on UC statfinder. For 2007-2008, 168 students were admitted out of a pool of 609 applicants. (These are the numbers for UC to Berkeley) That percentage is consistent for a three year stretch, starting in 2005. Also, about 50% of the applicants from a UC with a GPA between 3.6-3.8 were admitted. </p>

<p>Based on those numbers, it does not seem as difficult to get accepted to Berkeley from another UC as many on this board make it appear to be.</p>
