Haas Undergrad Admissions?

Honestly, you stand a chance.
Not a very good one, but still, a chance.

If you think about it, a few hundred students get admitted to Haas every year, and there are only a few dozen business leadership positions on campus, and ever fewer of those are held by pre-Haas students. Your grades are seriously the weakest part of your application. Really weak. Look at it from the application-reader’s perspective… you want to go into Haas, yet you could only get a B in the most basic econ course? I know Haas restricts it to like, 10-15% A’s, but still, not even a B+? And that C in stats just shows that you don’t seem prepared for the math involved in Haas. A 3.6 GPA is respectable, not good, but respectable. They’re not going to just throw out your app because of a low GPA, but if you don’t make up for it in some other way, it won’t turn out so well.

BUT… If you seriously rock UGBA 10, your chances would go up, a lot. A whole lot.
Haas is made up of all UGBA classes, so if you rock the first one, it shows that you’re ready to tackle it. =]
