<p>Kender: I actually have not heard any cases of UCSC students getting denied specifically for the econ series. Most of the time admissions just tells them that their gpa/EC’s was not competitive for business econ (avg gpa ~3.94). The problem I think you’re referring to was when UCLA didn’t accept a UCI accounting course and several people on these boards suffered the same consequence. Of course it’s not given that this course was the defining factor that got them rejected, but it surely didn’t help them lol.</p>
<p>@Protein: The biggest issue is that there is no UC-UC articulation agreement like CC’s have on Assist.org. Only UCD has a type of transfer course agreement where it lists equivalents, but it’s only for their economics department (econ/math/stats classes). With that being said, you can only hope that admissions accepts Econ 11 as regular calculus. If you get rejected solely because of the econ series, then you can always appeal with a syllabus for the econ calc class, but it’s just better not to risk it.</p>
<p>Do you mean that your parents pick you up for holidays? Most of my friends from socal had that issue fresh year (also homesickness), but they found it easier soph/junior year because you meet people who usually drive home most of the time. Otherwise, UCI/UCSB are really easy to get into for econ. UCSD is also really easy as long as you have around a 3.4 - 3.5 GPA. UCLA/UCB usually requires the 3.8+ with some EC’s.</p>
