show us the classes you took and what you're going to take. High GPA is a critical factor but it is not everything you need to get into Cal or UCLA.

glau, i just want you to know that most students with gpa less than 3.8 got rejected to UCLA econ (without TAP), if not all. so just aim for that gpa and you'll be fine. as for Haas... do your best because plenty of people got rejected with a 4.0.

Take all the assist courses recommended and aim for a 4.0. You are asking what GPA you need, with little information given, in which case I can only say get a 4.0 and have some EC's with strong essays to back it up. Cal/LA isn't THAT hard to get into, but you do have to work. If you have put in an honest effort- you will have a chance.

if you're an econ major where's your calculus series??

Berkeley econ requires calculus 1a, 1b, and 1c (it's worded a bit strangely on assist.org)

UCLA for sure requires 1a and 1b

what do you mean by "short calc"
