<p>Hey guys,
I'm currently a freshman at NYU and my first semester GPA was around a 3.6. Does anyone know what type of stats I should have if I want to be a strong candidate for UCLA or CAL economics ?</p>
<p>Something along the lines of a 3.7 for UCLA and a 4.0 for Cal (if you want Haas). You can check their admissions sites for transfer information.</p>
<p>Apparently L&S Econ is also capped - I’m not sure what the mean xfer GPA is for that, but I’d imagine it’s probably up there.</p>
<p>does college prestige come into play when it comes to transfer admissions?
and im in LSP does that matter?</p>
<p>No, college prestige is not a factor.</p>
<p>You actually get last priority as a 4-year University transfer.</p>
<p>According to [Profile</a> of Admitted Transfer Students by Major, Fall 2011 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof11_mjr.htm]Profile”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof11_mjr.htm) , fall 2011 admissions for economics and business economics at UCLA were more selective than math economics.</p>
<p>i think the GPA requirement order is like this
haas>ucla bzecon>ucla&ucb econ>>all
if i were u i would stay at NYU. stern is the better way to wallstreet than haas</p>
<p>The thing is, I’m not in stern. Ill probably end up doing CAS economics and business minor in stern. Im looking to transfer simply because I</p>
<p>miss california and it will be a lot cheaper if I attend ucla or cal. Im only looking at the economics major btw. Not biz econ or haas</p>
<p>no one cares about your major, they only care about your GPA.</p>
<p>Experience > University > GPA > Major</p>
<p>that’s what employers want in roughly that order. NYU is better than Berkeley. You might hate it… my advice join a business club, become a leader and become good friends with the people there. I’ve known a lot of people who went off to college and were absolutely miserable… for about 6 months. After that they loved it.</p>
<p>NYU is overrated and a poor quality school, take it from someone whose parent has a PhD from the school and is familiar with it. Berkeley, UCLA> NYU. don’t listen to these losers</p>
