<p>Here’s the deal: if you want to major in Business Administration, first you must get into Berkeley, where you will be in the College of Letters and Sciences (most likely).</p>
<p>Then you must complete certain prerequisites that Haas requires, and you apply to the school generally in the second semester of your sophomore year. Your admission depends roughly on: 50% grades in prereqs, 35% essays, 15% ECs.</p>
<p>About 50-60% of those who apply are admitted into Haas. This number would be lower because some students don’t do very well in the prereqs and don’t bother applying in the first place. The prereqs tend to be very competitive since the Haas admissions process itself is competitive. UGBA10 is an infamous weeder course that all prospective applicants must take.</p>
<p>I should mention that you only get to apply to Haas once. If you are rejected you can’t apply again. I’ve heard of people repealing but…that usually doesn’t work.</p>
<p>Now, those who are rejected by Haas, usually major in Economics, and in my opinion the two majors are not that different and graduates of both majors do pretty well. The kicker is that Economics is also capped so you would need to apply and may not get in, but it’s not nearly as competitive as Haas and most students get in.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
