<p>This is pretty general information, let me know guys!</p>

2

<p>probably get accepted at a csu</p>

3

<p>This is not my question. Will not be applying to any CSU’s.</p>

4

<p>all of your stats hardly seem impressive at all, HAAS is hard to get into from a CC, even with a 4.0. So realistically i’d say 5-10% chance?</p>

5

<p>maybe university of phoenix</p>

6

<p>wow stop being bastards aha…they’re just jealous</p>

7

<p>if you complete the pre-reqs
i’m sure you’ll get in
btw howd you get the hedge fund internship while at a CC? thats killer!</p>

8

<p>LOl im sorry you have good stats, but everyone that goes there has good stats.</p>

9

<p>honestly, what is with this facination with Haas? People i know that are already at Cal cant even get in…</p>

<p>Does anyone know the acceptance rate for getting into Haas anyway? What is it like 90 out of 1300 applicants or something like that? totally obnoxious</p>

10

<p>^maybe those people at Cal already are failing. i can be at cal and have a 2.0, do you think i ahve a chance? exacly- no.</p>

11

<p>Guys-</p>

<p>I am asking for an honest opinion. I don’t think I deserve such harsh treatment!</p>

<p>I got my internship through a lot of dedication and hardwork. I looked for an internship for awhile before I landed where I am working now. </p>

<p>96/1300 applicants…only 430 or so are credible.</p>

<p>I am looking for a second internship this summer and also will be founding a Finance and Marketing Club at my CC next semester. Looking forward to that!</p>

12

<p>i dont think you need to start on your essays so early. you still a lot of time.</p>

13

<p>Never hurts to start early. I have already sent out drafts for people to edit. I want to make sure everything is perfect by the time the day comes to turn in the application.</p>

14

<p>Dedication and hard work of finding internships = ? just perseverance? lots of networking?
I’m looking for a similar internship :)</p>

15

<p>Just keeping looking everyday. When you find something that interests you, go at it will full force. Knowing a few people along the way won’t hurt though. I’d suggest checking craigslist, your college’s career center or employer websites such as Jobstar.com.</p>

<br>

<p>To sum up, your chances of getting into HAAS is not so high, but I am pretty sure you still have chances. So don’t give up! Also, you should apply to UCLA’s Biz econ because you have high chances of getting in there.
I hope this will help you a lot.</p>

<p>Unpoko-</p>

<p>4.0 is not necessary for acceptance. I think the essay is the decision maker. Do you mind linking me with your friend that got into Haas? Can you pm me his email or contact. Thanks!</p>

18

<p>a 4.0 may not be necessary but lets be honest it doesnt hurt. 96 out of 1300? good luck my friend. if worse comes to worst maybe you can donate a building or something…ive heard that works</p>

19

<p>If thats the case, I am willing to donate enough buildings to build empires</p>

20

<p>well good lucky as you will need it. even cal kids have a hard time as is getting in with your ecs and gpa.</p>
