<p>Anyone have any idea of the average GPA of an econ admit at UCB? When you apply to cal its by department not by major right?
Here is the best I could come up with:

Doesn't really say anything about GPA though.</p>

<p>On a side note I found this slightly interesting.

<p>I gave it a try but to the best of my abilities I could not get it to list econ. Maybe you could take a stab at it and get us a screen capture? :D</p>

<p>yea, same here, i think they ended up just grouping it with the social sciences…</p>

<p>I was just told that a 3.78 was competitive for Berkeley’s economics program, note that I am an honors student (I don’t have TAP for UCB). I would say anything around a 3.8 is somewhat competitive as long as you can write some good essays as well as have nice ECs. It never hurts to try anyway.</p>

<p>I had a 4.0 so did many of Econ classmates at Berkeley.</p>

<p>thanks for the info transferuc I appreciate it. </p>

<p>good for you collegehopeful, I wish I had the patience to sit down and study every day and get a 4.0. sadly working full time and doing a full time course load has its repercussions. usually about 1 class per semester that I have to neglect more then I would like and get a B in. The way things are looking this semester it will probably end up the same way and I should be around a 3.7, but I figure if the avg is around 3.78-8 I’ll put in an app and hopefully I’ll get lucky.</p>
