<p>I don’t know about that. Let’s take a look at the Econ prereqs:</p>
<p>2 semesters of calculus (1A, 1B or 16A, 16B)
1 semester of statistics (Statistics 20, 21, 21X, 25, or upper division equivalent)
Economics 1 or 2
Economics 100A or 100B or 101A</p>
<p>Now, I wouldn’t exactly call Math 16A and Math 16B hard classes. Certainly not easy, but pretty doable. The range of statistic classes really makes it easy to find a lenient professor. This leaves two economic classes that could be tough. But from what I can see, it’s pretty easy to have one difficult class per semester, while you stack up on other easy classes, study mainly for that one prereq, and come out with a strong overall GPA and prereqs GPA.</p>
<p>Now let’s take a look at Haas prereqs:</p>
<p>UBGA10
one semester of calculus
Econ 1 or 2
Stat 21
Computer Science
Literature/Writing Requirement
SEVEN more breadth courses</p>
<p>Many more courses, and a higher level of competitiveness. Harder to cherry-pick classes, and notice that only three prereqs overlap (calc, stat, econ), out of Haas’s 13 required courses.</p>
<p>So, maybe I should rephrase what I said about “not very hard to get into” because I’m sure for some people it would be hard. But I think it’s considerably easier to get into than Haas.</p>
