I’m about to be a senior in high school and have begun filling out applications for colleges. I’m interested in studying business at Berkeley. However, business administration at Haas is only open for application by current undergraduate students. Business administration has a couple of prerequisite courses.
When I fill out my Berkeley application, what should I put as my intended major? Business isn’t an option, so should I mark “undecided”? Or should I mark one of the prerequisite courses, or a somewhat similar course to business, such as economics?
All frosh entering L&S are undeclared, so it really does not matter for admission selectivity if your other interests are in L&S majors (however, advising sessions at orientation and otherwise may be tailored to specific types of majors). However, selectivity can differ from L&S if you choose a major in a different division (Engineering, Chemistry, Natural Resources, or Environmental Design).
What other majors would interest you besides business?
@jzhang6 You apply as undeclared. The application for Haas just means that you will declare your business major in sophomore year if you have a 3.5 GPA or higher.
