<p>3.3gpa
Molecular tox.</p>

<p>I think I’m too big of procrastinator to go to UCB though</p>

<p>^ … what?</p>

<p>Wow, lucky. Congrats. I got rejected from CNR for molecular environmental bio with a 3.6.</p>

<p>does anybody have a link for the 2008 berkeley transfers fact sheet or whatever you call it?</p>

<p>The undergrad admission office staffs at UC Berkeley are not friendly at all as they are not willing to tell you the reason of your rejection. (UCLA admission office does answer people question and far more helpful).
Anyway, i am rejected with 3.9 gpa by L&S and thinking of appeal.</p>

<p>Any outstate people here or elite university/colleges?</p>

<p>eric: whats your major? prereqs done?</p>

<p>My major is econ, my prereqs and igetc are done by fall 08.
I just want to know why i am rejected. I know econ is a very impacted major but i see ton of people get in with lower gpa (around 3.7).</p>

<p>Econ is impacted. Are you an international student? Do you go to a CCC(California CC)? GPA is the biggest factor but EC’s and essays are important too.</p>

<p>i am not an international student and i am transfer from a ccc. I will try to appeal and hope that they change their mind. If not, I will go to UCLA for business econ.</p>

<p>Any EE majors?</p>
