macroeconomicus Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Your GPA seems ok, tough I don't know what it means on "UC Merced scale." GPA is not the only factor in admissions. For example, the statement that you write or the letters of recommendation could help a lot. I have some friends who said that they got into UCB with a relatively lousy GPA but a solid statement letter, while the reverse was true for some friends who got into UCLA. I just wanted to point out that UC Berkeley also offers a whole lot of majors in international and area studies: Overview | IAS As you can see, there are several possible majors there, and most of them are very interdisciplinary. For example, Prof. DeLong posted this tentative list of concentrations in the PEIS major: Grasping Reality with Both Hands: The Semi-Daily Journal Economist Brad DeLong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeydluffy Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I think you can get at least into UCSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
