<p>Does anyone know anything about the chances of community college students getting accepted into this major?</p>
<p>Average gpa, extra's, etc...?</p>
<p>How difficult is it. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, UC Berkeley doesn’t give out their information about transfer statistics by major. I know that they’re average transfer GPA is around a 3.77, but if you have good ec’s and a strong personal statement and a 3.7+ I’d say your chances are good. </p>
<p>@dannyn94 Is that gpa for this major specifically or do you mean the average gpa to transfer into Cal?</p>

<p>^Fall 2014 Berkeley transfer profile, go to page 2. 28.3% of all applicants to the division of interdisciplinary studies(Of which political economy is a part. Berkeley admits applicants by the division their major is in, not by major itself.) were admitted. So it’s fairly competitive. I don’t know the average GPA for that division, but it’s probably north of 3.7.</p>
<p>Definitely have relevant ECs if possible, and it’s always a plus to have a good personal statement. Be sure to have a professor/counselor/UC representative look over yours so you can improve it.</p>
