<p>Since you like being chanced so much Yams:</p>
<p>UCB- you should get in very easily</p>
<p>UCLA-far far reach (probable rejection) :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I was accepted to UCLA and four other UCs with a lesser GPA than yours. You'll probably get into all the UC schools. So your a former high school dropout and now you've restarted your education? That is an admirable achievement and you should be proud to be admitted to any of UC campuses (though of course, UCLA and UC-Berkeley should be first on your list).</p>
<p>Citan: BizEcon is of course my first choice since I do plan on pursuing an MBA after graduation but plain ole economics(second choice) is fine with me also.</p>
<p>Some courses that I recommend you to take (for the purpose of obtaining valuable knowledge on your major):</p>
<p>Calculus I, II, III
Statistics
Macro-/Microeconomics
Accounting I, II
Business Law
Economics History of U.S.</p>
<p>If you take above courses, you will have gained substatial amount of knowledge on Business and Economics prior to enrollment of your transferred school, and you will be that much ahead of everyone else there.</p>
