<p>Minimum Eligibility Requirements for Admission:

1. Complete all prerequisite courses (see below) with a letter grade of C- or
   higher no more than 5 years before starting the business major. If you repeated
   or have taken more than one course to fulfill a prerequisite you must use the
   first attempt to satisfy the requirement. If you received a C- or higher for
   your first attempt you should not repeat the prerequisite.
2. Complete the foreign language requirement (see below).<br>
3. Complete at least 60 UC-transferable semester units (90 qtr. units).

Taken from assist.org for Haas but UCLA also applies</p>

<p>Firstly, I would be certain you will meet those requirements. If you don’t, your application will be deemed ineligible. Since you have AP credit, I would also check [Exam</a> Credit, Undergraduate Program - Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley](<a href=“Application Process - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas”>Application Process - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas) to determine whether you can use those credits to fulfill some of the prerequisites/requirements.</p>

<p>Now to your questions:

i know this is a big IF, but suppose i maintain my GPA and receive a 4.0 this fall semester, would i have a good chance of being accepted to UCB/la? will the admissions committees also look heavily at my highschool stats because i am technically a 1st year student? my HS GPA is somewhere around 3.7 weighted, and my SAT is in the 2200-2250 range and ACT is in the 33-35 range (don’t want to get too specific online)

Your HS record/ standardized tests will be irrelevant in the admission process (they will not be weighed into your admission decision). Haas states their breakdown is:</p>

<p>50% Grades and Course Work
35% Essays
15% Resume</p>

<p>[Application</a> and Selection Calendar, Undergraduate Program - Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley](<a href=“http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/Undergrad/transferappl.html]Application”>FAQ - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas)</p>

<p>UCLA does not provide a breakdown but I imagine they are similar in addition to excluding HS/ standardized scores.

i have a lot of activities/research lined up for next year. i have already set up research with economics professors at my school, and i am participating in a lot of student committees/organizations because i really want to be involved. another really important thing, i have a part-time internship with a US house representative in my district this fall semester.

Extra curricular activities are important but as you saw in the Haas breakdown they only account for 15% of your total breakdown. I’m also 90% positive UCs do not take letters of recommendation for any majors. Not positive but I will look into it some more.

one last question. UCB and UCLA have regents scholarships for transfer applicants. are these awarded AFTER looking at the applicant’s fall semester grades? im not really even sure if i would be considered for regents because i won’t have much actual college coursework completed compared to other applicants, but i think if they do in fact look at the new fall grades, then i may be considered

Also, not positive on this but I know there are several threads regarding the Regents Scholarships where you can find some additional information. Furthermore, you can contact the schools directly and have your question(s) answered.</p>

<p>As I aforementioned, I would be sure to meet the minimum requirements for eligibility and check to see if your AP units will wave some of the requirements. Either way as an out of state transfer, the odds are against you. Members have speculated more out of state applicants will be accepted due to the economic situation in California but the transfer rates will still be low. If you ultimately plan on transferring have back up schools.</p>
