UCI Business administration

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>anybody planning on applying this fall for next years admission into their business administration program? i read on their site their only planning on accepting 15 or so transfer students into that major.
anybody have an idea of how competitive its going to be? or how it ranks against other programs?</p>

<p>right now im a second year at a CCC with about a 3.8-3.9 with all pre-reqs completed. i had applied this year as an econ major to the UC's and some CSU's, but have decided i want to study business instead, so am going to wait to reapply.</p>

<p>The yield for freshmans last year was pretty low…like 15%. So how competitive is it? Let me see if I can find the post or link.</p>

<p>Unconfirmed acceptance rate for freshman:</p>

<p>Hrm…pretty low. I would expect the transfer acceptance rate to be comparatively low also.</p>

<p>I’ve been trying to deciding if I should apply for business econ or business admin next year as I really don’t care much for UCI so I’m still unsure. But yeah 15 or so spots is SUPER impacted.</p>

<p>The new business administration major and school UCI has just opened is oddly very selective. They will start to begin accepting transfers for Fall 10’.</p>

<p>Economics isn’t bad, UCLA has a great business economics program and UC Berkeley economics is great (usually see some of the professors on CNBC). If you really want to get into Business Admin, the only colleges in the UC system that offer it are UC Berkeley Haas, UC Riverside, UC Merced, and now starting UCI Merage (open for transfers beginning Fall 10’).</p>

<p>Prereqs for UC Berkeley Haas are quite different from what regular business major prereqs for other UC’s are. So if you’re asking about transferring to UCB and then transferring internally into Haas, they won’t allow it.</p>

<p>And no you don’t necessarily need to reapply, unless you didn’t select Business Economics at UCLA or you were to attend Berkeley and internally transfer to Haas.</p>

<p>why is it so tough for such a new program?</p>

<p>anybody planning on applying? what are your stats?</p>

7

<p>I’ll probably apply to UCI business administration for Fall 10’ transfer.</p>

</p>

<p>I think it’s way to early to say stats as we still have Spring,Summer, and Fall grades to factor into our GPA.</p>

<p>But I don’t think I’m going to apply as I don’t plan to complete the stats pre-req for UCI Business admin.</p>

<p>NOTE: The Merage School intends to enroll 150 majors per academic year, beginning in Fall 2008 with freshman enrollees. Applications for transfer students and change of majors will be accepted for the Fall of 2010, with approximately 8-10% of the 150 majors entering per year being transfer students or change of majors (totaling approximately 15 students).</p>

<p>does 15 mean, 15 accepted, or total transfers that attend is 15?</p>

10

<p>^I think it means 15 accepted transfer, but the transfer can be from anywhere CCC or UCI students it seems “being transfer students or change of majors”.</p>

11

<p>It means they expect approximately 15 will enrolled. Taking the yield from freshmans…15.5%, that would mean they would accept 15/.15.5, or approximately 90~100 transfer students. It really depends on what UCI thinks their yield is.</p>

<p>I like how UCI requires the second semester of Calc and Haas at UCB only “recommends” it.</p>

13

<p>something with UCI and math man…their bus econ major requires all 4 year of calc…</p>

14

<p>Yea, I saw that when looking at assist…it seems a little bit over the top compared to other programs.</p>

15

<p>ya, i dont get why there is so much math even involved for their business econ program. its like 2 quarters of calculus, another when you transfer, and 2 quarters of probability and statistics…
even ucla only requires 2 quarters of calculus.</p>

16

<p>is 2 quarters of calc = 2 semesters of calc?</p>

17

<p>naw, 3 quarters of calc= 2 semesters of calc.</p>

18

<p>so do quarter system students study more? or so it seems. my bf is on quarter and has the same amount of requirements fills as i did in a year and a half… by only taking 16-17 units a quarter =/</p>

19

<p>semester to quarter is x1.5 while quarter to semester is divided by 1.5 and the units should be the same</p>

<p>If you guys are doing the business econ major at UCI as a transfer student, DONT TAKE CAL 3 and DIFFERENTIALS lol.</p>

<p>Check out assist.org
[ASSIST</a> Report: IRVINE 08-09 UCI Articulation Agreement by Major](<a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST)</p>

<p>Is Cal 3 and Cal 4(Differentials) really worth 1 quarter of “math 4 - mathematics for economists”? Cal 3 and Differentials are really hardcore for econ majors. Usually the class is for chemistry/engineering/physics majors. You guys got to be smart. Don’t risk your gpa and TIME to take these. Take Cal 1 and 2. Transfer to UCI. THEN take math 4 at UCI which probably won’t even go into hardcore calculus / differentials and will ONLY take you 1 quarter (10 wks) versus 1 WHOLE year.</p>
