<p>i read along somewhere on the web that the average GPA for transfer to berkeley is 3.75...but i believe if you are trying to get into HAAS (however you spell it) business program, they only accept a few students last semester...so good luck...</p>

<p>At my cc there are a lot of econ/business classes ( a lot different teachers), while there are a few science classes and few teachers, only two o-chem classes. When there a lot of teachers, there is a higher chance u'll find one thats relatively easy. So, yeah CCCT, at my cc doing anything other than science is easier.</p>

<p>The GPA has to be put in context. Was this in an honors program at your cc? The good UC programs state a strong preference for cc students in honors program. It also depends if economics is an impacted major, which I don't know at UCB. At Haas, most 4.0s are rejected. That said, a 3.9 is a great GPA obviously, but talk to the school, or go on the web site to learn what it has takes to get in. The numbers are there.</p>

<p>Econ is impacted and is one of the hardest majors to get into. Its arrogant to assume that you are guaranteed in.</p>

<p>Question: How many students are accepted into the program? What is the average GPA of admitted students?
Answer: Admission to the Haas Undergraduate Program is highly competitive. We admit 8-11% of transfer applicants and 40-50% of continuing UC Berkeley applicants. The average GPA for admitted transfer students is 3.70 - 3.80. The average GPA for continuing UC Berkeley students is 3.40 – 3.60.</p>
