Essay: 8.5/10</p>
<p>I have exactly 60 transferable UC semester units, don't know if it would affect my admission a bit since the stat on UCLA website </p>
<p>indicates that the average Biz econ applicants have about 65~70 units.</p>
<p>you shouldnt merge econ/biz econ with math/econ</p>
<p>Math/econ is ran by the mathematics department and this major has a significantly higher acceptance rate and lower applicant level than any major in the econ department.</p>
<p>srjc - In at all the schools listed
cgee - As long as you have at least 60 transferable units, and completed all your pre-reqs, it doesn't matter how many units you've taken. Your GPA alone is enough to get you in.</p>

Whatever else: I really regret putting math/econ as primary major. I might have actually gone to UCLA if I got into civ engineering but don't think I would attend as math/econ, more like I just wanted to get accepted and knew math/econ was an easy admit.</p>
<p>math econ is more towards ppl who want to get their phd in econ</p>
<p>yeah. funny thing is you can't even get into a decent phd program in econ without a math/econ major, unless you decide to take real analysis, linear algebra, and diff eqs outside of an econ major.</p>

Alternate Major: Econ? I forgot.
GPA: Does this include the upcoming spring 2009 final grades? If not, 4.0. If yes...4.0 might be gone.

<p>Doonroy, </p>
<p>what classes are you taking in Spring?</p>
<p>"math econ is more towards ppl who want to get their phd in econ"</p>
<p>-Funny, i said that a couple of years ago and now everyone says it :) </p>
<p>It is true though, i was a bit taken back by the program. Much harder than econ, and a bit dry with the math and the econ courses being so narrow.</p>
<p>it actually says that exactly on assist for math/econ at ucsd:
"this major is considered to be excellent preparation for Ph.D. study in
economics and business administration, as well as for graduate studies for
professional management degrees, including the MBA."</p>
<p>well any degree is fine for an mba</p>
<p>and malishka i remember you saying that haha. you've researched it more than i have so i trust u!</p>
