<p>I'm leaving high school this year and heading straight to my local junior college to begin the transfer program. I would have started my junior year in HS this year, but due to a number of personal reasons, I've decided on doing the CC route. My aim is still Berkeley - I know around 20% of their students are transfers. I just want to know what I have to realistically do (besides maintaining high grades) while at my junior college to actually have a shot at Haas. thank you in advance.</p>
<p>its not too high..... getting into berkeley is one thing and getting into haas is a whole different cookie... just make sure ure really well rounded and be almost perfect in every aspect of the application then im sure ull get in</p>
<p>This will sound stupid, but you should look at the Haas prereqs carefully--there are a lot of transfer students every year who get turned down because they unfortunately took the wrong classes. If you look at:</p>
<p>Undergraduate</a> Program - Admissions - Haas School of Business</p>
<p>you'll see that "871 applicants did not show planned completion of the admission requirements and were considered ineligible. Of the 443 eligible applicants, 96 were offered admission." The site assist.org should be helpful when it comes to transferring credits. Otherwise, be sure to have more than just good grades going for you. There are loads of threads here about Haas admissions that I'm sure you'd benefit from.</p>
<p>advice from a cc transfer who got into haas:</p>
<p>get involved in an EC that is business related or get a job that is business related...something that isn't working at a bookstore or anything like that. i think my experience in business got me in. do some volunteering too.</p>
<p>Cupola hit it right on the nail there.</p>
<p>Getting into Haas as a transfer student is no harder than getting into the social sciences as a transfer students. The transfer acceptance rate for Haas looks low, because most applicants did not plan out their courses. However, if you took the time to plan out your courses well, then you stand a decent chance at admissions.</p>
