<p>It seems like the only majors that would give you a disadvantage are finance and business, so you should be good.</p>

<p>Wow, there has definitely been a ton of heat in this thread…! Glad to see it’s toned down.</p>
<p>Regardless, does anyone think a CS (Computer Science) major at Berkeley could make it into the 2+2 program at Harvard? (assuming that GPA, GMAT, and the soft factors are all exceptional)</p>
<p>I’m not in EECS… I’m doing the B.A. Computer Science program in the College of Letters and Sciences here at Cal. Is that strong enough? Surely, the 2+2 program is saturated with top Ivy applicants.</p>
<p>Is my choice of major a good foundation/fit for the 2+2 program? I only want to guage my choice of major and University; I’m obviously not expecting anyone to “chance” me, since I have given no other details about myself.</p>
<p>Some people say the B.A Computer Science program is a “weak” version of EECS, here at Berkeley. Unfortunately, I also haven’t seen any Harvard 2+2 admits on Berkeley’s career center reports… (from any major! not just CS or EECS).</p>
<p>How important is an internship? GPA/GMAT/Major wise I think I’m good.</p>
<p>But I just finished my sophomore year with 0 internship experience. Should I even both applying? Will a internship at the end of my Junior year matter?</p>
<p>does having graduated from university disqualify oneself (or at least dampen one’s chances significantly) from getting into 2+2? I’m planning to graduate from university in 2 years so I could spend an entire year preparing for graduate school and still be one year ahead. However, that would mean that I technically graduated from university when I apply for grad school.</p>
<p>You have to apply in the spring of your junior year.</p>
<p>You guys put way too much weight on GPA. I applied with a 3.4-3.5 and got in to the 2+2. I had a bunch else going for me (not to mention my GPA is super for where I go to school and what I study.) So don’t let that keep you from applying. Find your niche in industry, make sure your personality is that of an inspired leader, and you should have a decent shot.</p>
<p>I’m an student at the University of Waterloo in Canada. I am specializing in public accountancy and my program prepares me for the Chartered Accountant designation. I am interested in applying for the 2+2 program. My university is special because 16 months of work experience is embedded in the 4 years and 4 months degree program. I will graduate with a bachelor of accounting and financial management. I know accounting is a business major, will this be a disadvantage for the 2+2 program? Isn’t harvard looking for non-business majors?</p>
<p>bumppppppppp!</p>
<p>^^ I have the same question . Does majoring in Business admin. significantly lowers your chances of admission to the 2+2 program ? I am planning on majoring in Economics but I also consider doing a double major in Economics and Business administration.</p>
