<p>^
Why didnât you apply for a tag? Otherwise, 90+ percent in. </p>
<p>If you had a tag, you wouldnât be needing this thread anyways.</p>
<p>@kjeon</p>
<p>Nice gpa. I think your ECs are relatively poor because they arenât business related. You shouldâve joined a club at school. Your Mom and Dad having never graduated from college will be beneficial to you. I think you are 7/10 in for Haas.</p>
<p>Directly from the Haas website:</p>
<p>âMyth: Students must get an internship or join a business fraternity/club prior to applying to Haas.
Truth: The admission committee is looking for leadership potential in extra curricular activities and does not give certain activities more weight in the review process. Students should participate in what they enjoy (on-campus clubs, volunteer experience, work experience, religious activities, etc.)â</p>
<p>I donât think my ECs are such a disadvantage. I know that my ECs arenât the strongest, but âpoorâ is not the word I would use. Iâve risen to leadership positions in both of my jobs, which is what the admissions committee is looking for.</p>
<p>I didnât apply for a TAG because Berkeley does not have such a program. As for Davis, I wasnât planning on applying there. I really want to make it into Haas, but I know itâs really competitive. I decided to apply to Davis as a backup when I was filling out the UC application.</p>
<p>Hopefully, it doesnât come back to bite me in the ass. hahaha</p>
<p>Greetings all, since I am in the running and have benefited substantially reading through the forums and it only felt right to post and get a little feedback. Many thanks in advance for your notes and thoughts.</p>

<p>@mino
should be in everywhere not really familar with your major but 3.6 is high enough and good e.c so i donât see a problem</p>
<p>@kjeon I correct myself, I shouldnât have said âbusiness-related.â However, working full time in retail while not going to school, then working at a roller rink seem soâŠuninspired. There are people who work in hedge funds and student body presidents. Maybe my expectations are too high.</p>

<p>For UCLA i would say you have VERY little shot 3.7 was average admit gpa last year for history. Average GPA applied was 3.37 so it will be extremely difficult</p>
<p>UCSB hmm a lot more likely 3.14 average transfer gpa you best shot is here 60% chance your in i say</p>

Essay: 8/10ish</p>
<p>any decent chance i can get into uci?</p>
<p>@izy
You should be fine for David and SJSU </p>
<p>UCLA was 3.86 admit last year and UCB is always a crap shoot 40% chance for those i would say.</p>
<p>@aznmouse</p>
<p>0 shot at UCI sorry, IIRC on one of the web videos it said you need a near 4.0 for Business Admin this year only 15 slots available for transfer. </p>
<p>You should be in at UCR/UCSB though</p>
<p>^
Basis of your words please. Thanks.</p>
<p>google profile of ucla transfer </p>
<p>first link it list admission of last year by major. UCB is unpredictable anyone with 3.6 got a shot except for Haas and like engineering</p>
<p>So you mean, itâs the GPA, not my ECâs or whatsoever that somehow reduces my chance of getting in?</p>
