I was admitted to LA/Berk for econ for Fall 2012. Try to raise the GPA, 3.7 may be sufficient for other majors, but is on the low-end for econ. Even w/ a 4.0, if you don’t have relevant ECs, chances will be low. the average admitted econ is 3.93-3.95 for Berkeley and UCLA. This year, I saw some 4.0 econ majors w/ really good econ relevant ECs get rejected, one was admitted after appeal.

Raise your GPA, get some econ relevant ECs.
