Acceptance rates for transfers to UCLA’s prebusiness econ program is around 20%. 1300 applicants for 250 spots(rounded) per year. Average GPA of admitted student was 3.81 for 2006. I’m expected it to hover near 3.8-3.84 this year. Its a tough program to get into.

The only benefit that makes it much easier is that california community college students receive priority. Not to mention the ability to participate in TAP. So if you’re a socal student with access to the TAP program from a community college, it may not be so difficult. Just have a good essay and some good ecs ontop of great grades and completed coursework.

Its not so much a business program. But rather a mixture of 60% economics courses and 40% business(mostly accounting). However, its the opportunity to network, you’ll be taking business courses with MBA students. As you already know, Anderson is one of the most selective MBA schools in the nation. So you’ll be rubbing elbows and doing projects with some of America’s brightest business minds. You really can’t discount an education at UCLA.

I was in the whole weighing of benefits for UCLA/CAL and UCLA was chosen not only because it is dear to my heart but the benefits just seem to tip the scale.
