does anyone know if the political science courses (i'm planning to minor in polisci) are difficult at berkeley? is there a lot of grade deflation since it's such a popular major?

Hi Andrew ^_^

I'm planning on Applying for Haas... >.<
I've submitted my SIR and I'm crapping in my pants right now. Too late to change schools... {probably dun wanna either}
If I can't get into Econ/Biz... o.O... *heart attack*

um... so... can you describe the process?
How hard was it? What did you think you/other rejected people were missing?

What should I do if I don't get in? {If I don't make it for both Econ and Haas}

If I do get in, what careers are avaliable? Is there a 5 year MBA program, aka MBA + undergrad in 5 yrs? How bout preparation for CPA? Do I need EC after I got into Haas/ whatever major?

I really enjoy Environmental science/ bio... but is it stupid to consider double majoring in that just because I like it? Should I just double major in Poly Sci cause it's more useful?

I realize that essay+ EC are around 40% weight, just how good do those need to be?! How many clubs/hours/leadership? Also, does being hall rep count? How hard is it to get elected for senate or other position? How do you even apply? What should I do freshman year if I wanna?

How high do I need to get my GPA? o.o
{3.5-7 isn't high enough?! << didn't even get that high consistently in high school}

o.o
*hyperventilates + faints*

Please give an honestly answer... aka what you would do yourself

<< tired of counselor answers like "do what you enjoy!" or "Riverside is just as good as Cal!" or "I believe in you!"


Thanks!

lots of threads about haas admissions.. search

for senate getting 400+ number 1 votes is enough to secure a seat. the cutoff was 367~ this year.

become a calso counselor. all intended business calso counselors this past summer got in this year. though this is not a guarantee for all

Thanks for the post. I'm considering accepting berkeley but I'm in La La land, single mom nontraditional student. I'm from the Bay Area, so I know the drill. It's not the big scary place one of my professors makes it out to be.

I'm white but not really vanilla, definitely not your carbon copy cut out. Any and all advice is appreciated!
