<p>You are just hovering over the border, so TAP will be very very useful.</p>

<p>Since most of the major prep work has been straight A's you have a good chance. I'd say 70% you'll get in imo just because econ is so competitive.</p>

<p>If you were majoring in Poli Sci or somethin, you'd probably be in. </p>

<p>Again, just my opinion.</p>

<p>I assume you're talking about UCLA</p>

<p>Wow fast reply. You have a good chance at UCLA and I'd be surprised if you didn't get in. I'm just worried that there is so many people applying into Econ @ UCLA and they have limited spaces available, it might be difficult.</p>

<p>Cal is a toss up. 50/50</p>

<p>If you are really anxious to find out, I'd call up the UCLA college admissions office and talk to a counselor.</p>

<p>I rather live in ignorance though. ;)</p>

<p>Well, I have done everything I can do to get into LA. I think I will just wait. I keep asking counselors at my school and they are very careful not to make any gaurantees, but they do seem very positive about my chances to LA.</p>

<p>PS. I get email to my cell everytime someone responds, so that is why I respond so quickly. :)</p>

<p>If I were you, I'd apply to NYU too. Deadline is March-Aprilish.</p>

<p>You have nothing to lose except application fee.</p>

7

<p>Oh really, that is a really good tip. I haven't done ANY research about schools other than UCs. I will look into NYU.</p>

8

<p>What are you looking for in a school?</p>

9

<p>NYU has a great business program going on and they looking for hardworking students. They don't just look at stats.</p>

<p>They are a private school, so their application review process is different. I also don't know if you can afford private, but hey, thats what college loans are for.</p>

<p>Theres a huge thread about it somewhere.</p>

<p>DO EET, APPLY TO NYU. :)</p>

<p>I just want to go to the best school possible. I have been looking at the US NEWS top 100 Universities list. I would prefer an urban setting rather than a rural setting. I grew up my entire life in San Francisco. I like Los Angeles a lot more than San Diego for example.</p>

<p>I can afford private.</p>

11

<p>USNews.com is an overall ranking of one particular school. Each school succeeds in one section more than others. </p>

<p>EX. USC might be 20ish on the list overall, but they are Top 5 best school of cinema.</p>

<p>IF you are going to major in business/econ or law, NYU is arguable has one of the best programs. Even better than UCLA imo.</p>

12

<p>USC has a top-10 undergrad business school. And hey, I'm from The City too. :D</p>

13

<p>Unfortunately, USC apps deadline has passed.</p>

<p>More like Top....1. :)</p>

15

<p>Ya, I noticed you were a Giants fan.</p>

16

<p>Yep, if you're IGETC certified, your application minus TAP is very borderline. But you sealed the deal with TAP. I woudln't worry about UCLA.</p>

17

<p>man i think your TAP and everything looks good cause will help you.
Question I have though is that you got an A in Accounting and that is not an easy class. Yet your GPA is only 3.46...just confused cause some of the harder class you got A's in but why such a low GPA?</p>

18

<p>60/40 for the worse at cal imo</p>

<p>in at ucla</p>

19

<p>too bad De Anza doesn't have TAP :(</p>

<p>I got a lot of C and B grades when I first started college, then I started focusing on school!</p>

<p>Financial Accounting might be the hardest class I've taken, I worked really hard and I'm really proud of that A. </p>

<p>These days my GPAs for each semester are about 3.7</p>
