Major: Biz Econ
Alternate Major: N/A
GPA: 3.8
Major/Pre-req GPA: 4.0
TAP: No
IGETC: Completed by Spring
EC: Mainly sports related.
Essay: Hard to tell. I think one is definitely better than the other. Maybe one good and one not so good/not as good. Hard to gauge.

General Comments: It's a tough major to get into so I don't know. The waiting game... it's nerve-wrecking. Good luck to everyone.

Major: Biz Econ
GPA: 3.95
Major/Pre-req GPA: 4.0 (completed 3 years of calculus)
TAP: No
IGETC:Yes
EC: School math tutor and others
Essay: 8.5/10

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

indicates that the average Biz econ applicants have about 65~70 units.

you shouldnt merge econ/biz econ with math/econ

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.

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.

Major: Math/econ
Alternate Major: Civil Engineering
GPA: 3.8
Prereqs: Completed by Spring (done w/ math/econ, finishing up eng. requirements)
IGETC: yes
EC: barely
Essay: OK
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.

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.
