UC Berkeley - Haas or Econ?

Given that Managerial isn’t a prereq, how great of a negative impact will a withdrawal from the class be?

</p>

<p>I don’t think it would be too much of a negative impact, though Managerial is something you’ll have to use in Haas. Luckily, you can take the upper division Managerial, which is a requirement for the major.</p>

Will a paragraph about it in the Additional Comments section about my dropping it due to health reasons be a sufficient explanation?

</p>

<p>I do not know if they need an explanation for the W, but I’m sure it would not hurt.</p>

@Gunnnnn

And somewhat implicit in my post is the following question: Will 18 units and AAABB or 14 units and AAAB W, with a decent explanation for the withdrawal, be more acceptable? I’m especially worried because my GPA when I apply will likely be a couple of notches below the average of accepted applicants if I stick with my five classes and get two Bs.

</p>

<p>I have found that completing the class, even with a B, is usually preferred to a W. Get a B is not the end of the world that most people assume. Ws are usually considered for Cs and Ds. However, if it’s with health issues than I would not take the chance and work yourself to death. Dropping it should not harm you greatly. But I am not a Haas admissions person.</p>

Oh yeah and I’ve kind of put on like a ton of weight in the past two months because I’m almost completely sedentary now. I have so little time and I’m extremely exhausted and super stressed all the time.

</p>

<p>Don’t worry, you are not the only one. I have 21 units and I am running back and forth between my city and Berkeley for concurrent enrollment. It’s the most wonderful time of the (school) year.</p>

<p>Just take it easy and keep on truckin’.</p>
