finishing more pre-req before applying = more competitive?

Whoa that’s a really difficult question. And remember I am NOT an adcom or anything like that BUT i’ve spent a lot of time studying these sorts of things.

For UCLA W/TAP i’d say competitive is 3.5ish for most majors (not comms not business econ etc)

Without eh 3.65 to be safe.

But they are really sticklers for prereq completion. Ive seen 3.4s get in with prereqs done and 3.9’s get rejected.

Berkeley seems to depend. I’d say UCLA is a lot more numbers oriented than berkeley. berkeley seems to take into account other factors so I really have no idea. It depends. Berkeley doesn’t make their numbers as readily available as UCLA does. Write a killer essay.
