<p>Oh no, you discovered our evil plot. How we bow before your mastery of the human mind. Your cunning has outwitted my ploy.</p>
<p>Or maybe… just maybe, we all want to help one another get into Cal? I don’t have a snowball’s chance of getting into Haas, but I am interested in giving my honest opinion to anyone who asks. Gunnnn has the grades to get into L&S for Econ, and probably for Haas as well. His major GPA would be higher if he applies to Econ, giving him a high probability of getting accepted. If Gunnnn applies to Haas his GPA for Business Admin will be lower, meaning that he could be rejected from Haas and not be admitted to Cal at all, thus requiring another year of waiting.</p>
<p>Gunnnn can apply to whichever major he wants, and bully for him. But a 40% acceptance rate vs the 6% at Haas? There is nothing wrong with going to Econ or Haas; there are plenty of opportunities in each, and most of them are open to both majors. It is a matter, like your said, of whether the opportunity of going to Haas outweighs the risk of getting denied admission. There is no giant conspiracy (at least on my part) to trick Gunnnn into applying to Econ for my own malevolent purposes.</p>
