Does anyone else find Haas decisions ridiculous?

You fail to make logical sense.</p>

<p>Your Claim:
You’re claiming that people risk more and are thus more dedicated because they’re transfers.
Because freshmen don’t face that risk, they are less dedicated.
Because transfers are more dedicated hence they are more qualified.</p>

<p>My Counter Claim:
Transfers fail to complete their prereqs because they are not dedicated.
Thus, even according to your logic, transfers are not more qualified.

I am not talking about dedication, I don’t know where you are getting dedication from. On a side note, no one really knows why Haas transfer applicants don’t meet their requirements, it could very well have something to do with CCs reliability at offering their required courses or with CC advisors falsely leading their students to thinking IGETC cuts it for Haas (when it doesn’t)</p>

<p>

My Claim:
Continuing students who do apply are already the cream of the pack because they did well in the weeder classes and their pre-reqs.
Thus, they are more qualified as a whole because only the best apply.
Of the best, only 50% gets in.
Hence the 50% admissions rate is deceiving.</p>

<p>I don’t see how my claim does not fail to refute your claim…
And I fail to see how your counter claims refute my claims?

The prereqs for Haas are basically just breadth and other GEs plus Econ 1, Math, and Stat. Transfers are required to complete UGBA 10 in Berkeley. If you hunt down the easier breadth classes (which isn’t that hard), and don’t **** up, you are pretty much good to go. </p>

<p>I am sorry but anyone who calls the seven course-breadth, weeder courses is out of their mind.</p>

<p>The “best” continuing students will apply to Haas, knowing that if they fail they can go into similar majors like Econ/EEP/PEIS/etc.
Only the “best of the best” transfers will apply because they are literally going in all-or-nothing</p>
