<p>The difference is, while admissions to Haas is very competitive (since Haas is many students’ first choice, while Econ is often the backup), it’s harder to get good grades in Haas prereqs (think weeders like UGBA10). Econ on the other hand, has way fewer major prereqs so I could easily see someone stack up on easy classes and bolster his GPA. It seems to me like it’s not very hard to get into the Econ major if you really want to.</p>
