Uc Berkeley Business School

<p>what are the requirements you need to get into the Haas school of business as a transfer student from a community college? (such as gpa and classes)and is it hard to get into their grad program from their undergrad school?</p>

<p>I'll direct you to their admissions website: <a href="http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Consult assist.org for transferable courses from CCs.</p>

<p>To summarize the website,</p>

<h1>Minimum Eligibility</h1>

<p>PreReq Courses (3-4units ea):
-Principles of Business,
-Calc I
-Statistics
-Micro and Macro Econ
-Comp Sci
-Lit/Writing + Eng. Reading/Comp
-Foreign Language (1year college equiv, SATII, or 3yrs HS)</p>

<p>7/9 Breadth Courses:
(2) arts and Humanities
(1) Biological Sci.
(2) International Studies
(1) Physical Sci.
(3) Social/Behavioral Sci.</p>

<p>As for the admission statistics,
3.91 GPA average, (3.78 - 4.0 covers 80%)
83 enrolls, 90 admits, 340 eligible, 1136 total. [2006-2007]</p>

<p>I'm not an expert on Haas, but I would like to try and get in there too. The amount of courses I have to squeeze into the next couple months makes me cringe. I have no clue about grad.school admittance. Probably the best thing you could do would be talk to the pre-admission advising squad. If anyone more knowledgeable about this would care to comment, it would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Getting into Haas as a transfer student is very difficult. Admissions are, as you can see from above, very competitive. I have many friends in CC who didn't even apply because it's almost hopeless. As for the MBA program, again, from talking with counselors and MBA students, very few of them came from Berkeley undergrad. The business school encourages students to develop wider networks by doing an MBA elsewhere. Students also take a few years off to work after the B.S. and usually go to another school for MBA.</p>

<p>It says 7% acceptance rate, but supposedly the true acceptance rate is around 23% when the students who did not fulfill all the necessary requirements are taken out of the calculation.</p>

<p>Don't forget that students are self-selecting. Those with poor stats usually don't apply. Also, the transfer acceptance rates pale in comparison with the regular route undergrad -> apply to Haas. That has a 50% acceptance rate or so I last heard (<a href="http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/statsucb.html)%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/statsucb.html)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>For those interested, remove the parenthesis from the end of Crumja's link if you don't want a 404: <a href="http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/statsucb.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/statsucb.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Regular transfers (not UCB) should be concerned with: <a href="http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/statstransfer.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/statstransfer.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I think a ~25% chance is fairly good, even with self-selection! This board seems to need some optimism with just a pinch of self-delusion; I'm happy to provide.</p>
