<p>Hi there,
since most of the counselors at my cc are not that great (they Never answer my questions T_T), I HAVE to post my case here cuz im really confused w/ major prerequisites. I know that UCLA biz econ is like super hard to get into, so it is really important to maintain a good gpa (so far, I still have a 4.0: done w/ English and Math + almost done w/ Econ) AND MY PROBLEM is i just have 1 accounting class done ( I need 3, and Im planning to take one in Fall and the last one in Winter quarter) and some people told me that its better to get it done before Fall because major prerequisites are more important than IGETC and admission officers will be looking at my grades for prerequisites. Will this lower my chance to get into UCLA biz econ if I don't finish my major prerequisites before applying?
(sorry i know my question is so dumb but im really worried D: )</p>
<p>I had all the prereqs done except 1 accounting class (which I arguably did do, it just goes under a different name at UCI) for UCLA Biz Econ and I got rejected for this coming fall quarter. That was the only reason I was denied admission (I called them and asked them) FINISH YOUR PREREQUISITES BEFORE YOU APPLY!</p>
<p>I would finish it before you apply if you can.</p>
<p>For biz econ, they are only look at ur GPA.
both of my frd and me got accept to UCLA Biz Econ… our accumulated GPA are 3.9</p>
<p>I got in and I have my last accounting class prereq in progress.</p>
<p>hi classmate ;o)</p>
<p>I don’t believe that it is necessary to have all pre-reqs completed by the time you apply. It will make you a stronger applicant if you do, but it’s not a deal breaker.
I can’t speak from personal experience since I completed all but the writing pre-req at the time I applied and I did get accepted, but yes you should try if at all reasonably possible to complete your pre-reqs by the time you apply. Your pre-major GPA is just as much a deciding factor as your cumulative GPA, so its difficult for them to evaluate you if you are missing pre-reqs.</p>
<p>Accepted BizEcon UCLA for fall 2010: </p>
<p>I applied last fall with all pre-reqs done except Calculus. I was in the process of Calc1 when I applied, and am currently finishing Calc2, my last pre-req. When I applied, I had A’s in all other pre-reqs, as well as my prior math classes (such as pre-calc). </p>
<p>Remember, you update your application in January with your Fall grades, so if you finish up your pre-reqs then, those grades (if good) will hopefully help your application. Hope my experience helps you out!</p>
<p>Yes…sorry I should edit what I said…make sure you have all your prereqs done before you transfer (they can be in progress)…not necessarily before you apply.</p>
<p>got in and I have my last accounting class prereq in progress.</p>
<p>For the people who got in, how many prereqs did you have yet to complete after the Fall application period?</p>
