Hi ALL~

I originally was going to transfer to UCBerkeley: HAAS as a BusAdmin major, but I had a change of mind and decided that I should go to UCLA instead with a different major.

I want to get into UCLA. I will be applying for ECON as my undergraduate major. My main concern at the moment is my GPA. I have heard that UCLA usually accepts transfer applicants with a GPA of 3.8 and above. My current UC GPA is 3.64, which is why I am concerned. What should I do right now in order to increase my chances of getting accepted to UCLA as an ECON major? According to my counselor I should have no problems transferring to UCB with my current GPA, but I have not discussed about my concerns and interest to transfer to UCLA.
