<p>I am interested in Haas school of Business, just want to kno the first round cut GPA. Great Appreciation for the help.</p>
<p>Look on the Haas website. Considering they accept only 8% you should keep your gpa around 4.0.</p>
<p>Yea 4.0 and if you do alot of activities (work, leadership in clubs, community service), it will improve your chances greatly. And write the best essays you can for the applications cuz i heard from my friend (got rejected from Haas this year) that they have 80 people who look at your application. LOL. I remember when I had a 2.83 GPA (i f'd up my first yr. of CC), my counselor told me to apply because i had a chance. LMAO. Oh yea, don't listen to your counselors. They are either extremely uninformed, or universities pay them to encourage students to apply so they can lower their acceptance rates. LOL</p>
<p>Many without a 4.0 get in. And I don't think there is an official "cut gpa."</p>
<p>There might not be an official cut GPA but the only students who got in from my school had 4.0 GPA's so I guess Berkeley Haas is just as difficult as getting into say UCLA or Berkeley from out of HS.</p>
<p>You know the statistics for all applicants and admits from your college, aznhyboi? Or are you simply referring to THOSE YOU KNOW?</p>
<p>And a 4.0 college gpa does not equal a 4.0 or 4.1 or whatever high school gpa. Let's not get into the whole high school versus transfer applicant difficulty/easiness thing.</p>
<p>Yup, my advice is try to get all A's. If you get a couple of B's, you better have something to back it up. The hardest thing for you is getting admitted. Once you're in, i heard from sister's friends that it is pretty easy to graduate with a high GPA.</p>
<p>thx for all the help guys, it helped me a lot. I don't work but i have a lot of community service, does that help?</p>
<p>I also heard they will review your class pattern and also which community college you transfer from. Therefore picking a good reputation CC is also important?</p>
<p>When you guys talk about GPA, u does it mean a high overal GPA? or just the Tranfering classes GPA. I have a overall 3.83 right now, and i figure even tough i Ace all classes, i will only reach 3.88.</p>
<p>3.88 is a great gpa. If places like Ivies, Stanford, LA, USC take students below a 4.0 or '3.88', then I would hope Haas, too, takes real hardworking people who don't have 4.0's. If they don't, I figure that's Haas' loss and they have some serious issues.</p>
<p>They do have serious issues. They require all transfer students now to start summer school there as a Haas student. </p>
<p>This year, only two were accepted from my college. They both had 4.0's. Period. It is a fact that transferring out of CCC is so much more easier than out of HS and I was just simply stating that HAAS is one of the schools which is pretty much as difficult as getting into UCB straight out of HS.</p>
<p>Let's not overanalyze the situation here. It's pointless.</p>
<p>Indeed, very</p>
<p>It's true that having a higher GPA will get give you a better chance of being accepted since we know that Haas only admits 8% of its applicants which in turn makes it competitive. There is no doubt about that. If you want to get technical about it, not ALL of those admitted have 4.0s. That's all there is to it. If you have official statistics to backup your claims then you will have a better argument. Until then, you are just speculating.</p>

<p>Wonderful, clearly you were basing your conclusion on quite a bit of evidence ;)</p>

That is absolutely not a fact. High school stats do not equal college stats. They are different ballgames, difficult to compare.</p>
<p>And what conclusion is this? I never said you needed 4.0's to get into HAAS. I just said that getting into Berkeley HAAS is just as hard as HS kids getting into UCB</p>
<p>Stats??
Compare 4 years of hard working and dedication plus the time spent studying for SAT's SATII's and all the EC on weeknds just to get into a UC to a person who has partied all his HS life and decided to clean his act up and dedicate the next 2 years of his life to maintain a 3.5 GPA (with no need for SAT or SATII's) and have a good chance at practically all the UC's (depending on major) and CSU'S. I can't say this is true for any other State, but in CA, it is definitely much easier to get into a UC from transferring compared to out of HS</p>
<p>^ You have a point there. I know some Asians who started taking AP or CC courses in junior high. It's a whole new ballgame these days.</p>
<p>What I would do is go transfer to the Berkeley from the feeder school (forgot what the name was) and try to get leadership roles in clubs. Try to get that 3.88 GPA and buy books on how to best fill out the application and write the best essays. Community service does help. I would say you have a shot. They also have econ which is SOOOO much easier to get into. Two friends got in with GPA's around 3.7-3.8. Good luck! If you are a really good test taker, taking the SAT's wouldn't hurt. If you get really low scores, just don't report them in the app. If that sounds like too much 4 u, then screw the SATs.</p>
<p>Yeah a lot of students use AP credits these days to fulfill a lot of their GE's which satisfy IGETC. I personally know a couple people who i became friends with this year who tranferred out of CCC in 1 year. This basically means that they will graduate in 3 years and all they did was apply their AP credits towards their GE's</p>
<p>Wait.. Did you say Junior High? As in sixth - eighth grade? Wow I did not know that.. but I guess your right. It is a whol enew ball game these days</p>

What are you talking about? SATs are not considered at all for transfer admission.</p>
<p>I'm not going to address what aznhyboi said, because it is clear to any reasonable reader that he holds an extreme bias in favor of those who are applying to be freshmen. I think he is greatly unaware of the work it takes in community college, taking college courses, to earn a good gpa and do the other things necessary to transfer to the top UCs.</p>
<p>Let me also add that the UCs discriminate towards California residents in the freshmen process, just as they do in the transfer process. The community college part is warranted, as the resident part is (things that aznboy would understand if he viewed the UCs as public schools, not ivies), but doesn't mean it is "easier" to get in as a transfer.</p>
<p>oh, and your not biased to transfer students?</p>
<p>i think a majority of us would agree that getting into the top UC's are much harder as a highschool student, especially now a days.</p>
