UBC HAAS/UCLA BIZ-ECON Essay

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>So I went to SMC for 1.5 years, then transferred to NYU (wanted to work on wall street). For serious family reasons, I may need to leave NYC and go back to Cali. My strategy has been the following:</p>

<p>Attend community college while waiting to apply to finish up pre-requs (language etc) and take calc 1 and calc 2 via BYU.</p>

<p>I do have really non-traditional circumstances though (ran a business 2+ million in revenue while not attending school after high school which was successful, worked at a PE firm managing 1.5 Billion doing deal flow) but am afraid the short nature of the essays won't allow me to intelligently speak about that.</p>

<p>How can one go about doing that?</p>

<p>Also, does anyone have experience doing BYU courses while applying to CC'S?</p>

<p>I was told today that so long as I'm taking one course at a junior college in cali, im up for priority compared to those who are transferring from privates and other schools (UCLA favors community college residents)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Also,</p>

<p>is there a way for me, when applying, to not hold myself down JUST to the business-economics major, but other economics based majors like math-econ or just purely economics? This is because I know business-economics is highly impacted.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
