UC Berkeley Haas School of Business

<p>I'm just curious, when you guys say you didn't complete X&Y requirements, you guys mean you didn't complete them by the end of the spring term. Berkeley isn't really looking to see all requirements done by application time, right? Riiiiight?????</p>

<p>They can be in progress at the time of your application, considering Haas won't even be looking at anything until the spring semester. Don't think they can be planned though.</p>

<p>Edit: also, still very open to advice. I just can't figure out how to weigh Haas vs. the (high) chance of rejection. Sigh.</p>

<p>wow. bro. seriously. you have a MUCH higher gpa then i do, and you're worried about admissions? dont even trip, dude. just apply. whatev, you know? i mean, lol, i'm sitting here tripping about a B that might either put me at a 3.76 or a 3.8, and you're considering whether or not to apply with a 3.94? come on. what are your ecs?</p>

<p>Like I said, practically no EC's :/</p>

<p>Going to try to do as much as I can in the fall, but I'm obviously not going to be leading any clubs or anything.</p>

<p>Edit: also, maybe I'm so much more freaked out about the application than other people are because I live right next to the campus. The competition among my friends who are trying to get in is insane. They're doing things for business frats 48 hours a week, tutoring every day, and keeping their grades up.</p>

<p>My application just doesn't stack up to theirs, heh.</p>

<p>Define "doing things"...</p>

<p>Haha :] With the kind of hours they put in, I'm not sure I really want to know. But there is certainly a lot of competition involved there as well.</p>

<p>nah dude sweet has a point. Just because you put in hours into something doesn't neccessarily mean that any good will come out of it. I mean, sure, it's great that they're all committed and keeping thier grades up and all, but i really dont think haas cares much about the number of activities you do as opposed to how you show that they change you in some fashion-or how you show that they have helped you change the school..actually, today, i heard that one of the people my friends know got in with a 3.5, and was on student government. </p>

<p>why dont you check that out? i started to and it looks like its really cool. i mean, there's a whole bunch of things you can do. I talked to a counselor and they said they really dont get too technical with GPA because it's only 50 percent of the application..in a sense, after you break a certain point, it just gets your foot in the door a little more, with a higher GPA. so right now, you stand two steps ahead of me in terms of getting in the door-whereas i'm worrying about whether or not i'm gonna be in there. In any case, there's no use posting chances threads for haas until january, because that's when we fill out the SAR. So dont even worry about whatever right now and focus on making accomplishments and whatnot all the way up til jan. i mean, i'm still nowhere near done with everything that i wanna do, you know? and you shouldnt be either. </p>

<p>So, in all seriousness-just keep your grades up and remember that it's just your ticket in. essays are 35 percent, dude..that's a high enough percentage to weigh in an admit, when you've already got 50 percent of the equation down. EVEN IF you dont have 15 percent, at the very least, you've got the other 85. The great thing about that 15 is that it's totally flexible and can encompass damn near anything-for people like me, who are still struggling with that ticket issue, it's a lot harder, because that's 50 percent of the equation right there. stop thinking and just start acting. that's all.</p>

<p>i was wondering...what ARE the requirements for transfer to the HAAS school of business? i looked this up on the website, but i was a bit confused. i may meet with a transfer counselor in berkeley one day before applying. however, if anybody could let me know, that would be great.</p>

<p>what are you confused about?</p>

<p>classes that need to be taken in order to transfer.</p>
