Just wondering, is it possible to apply to Haas as a freshman?

Nowhere does it say you have to be a sophomore. It just says “Minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter units.”
Now, given 15 credits per semester for 4 semesters, that would add up to 60 units by the end of two years.

But if you add in AP credit, I would have 60 units by the end of freshman year. I’m wondering if AP credit counts. Nothing indicates it doesn’t (especially since AP credit is used to indicate class standing for registration). I’m also likely to get the Econ and R&C pre-reqs knocked out with this AP credit.

Obviously, it might not be such a good idea, since you need time to develop good ECs, and the app is due November 30th. Plus, you can only apply once during your time at Berkeley.
