<p>what about cal poly slo?</p>
<p>Qualitatively, Emory’s Econ program is not great. It feels very small and weak in terms of connections and mentoring. I have met a couple very smart professors, but they weren’t high-stakes researchers. </p>
<p>I’ve been considering transferring. Do you think the tiny chance of getting into Harvard, Stanford, MIT, or Chicago would be worth it? I mean, how different would their Econ programs be from Emory’s? I’m also interested in Math because I want to do an Econ PhD</p>
<p>Can anyone advise where does Grinnel, Iowa stand for Eco undergrad? What would one prefer between Grinnel and Colby?</p>
<p>Which would you pick: NYU or USC? For Economics B.A. of course.</p>
<p>So UW-Madison has a good reputation for undergraduate economics?</p>
<p>I think so. Wisconsin has a very highly regarded Economics department.</p>
<p>What about Pomona Econ vs. Cornell?</p>
<p>Cornell is closeish to NYC and wall street, so there may be a lot of opportunities there after college, and it has the reputation of an Ivy. Meanwhile Pomona isnt as well known, but it’s also close the LA area. And how does Marshall at USC compare?</p>
<p>Pomona vs. Cornell vs. Marshall?</p>
<p>If your goal is Wall Street, Cornell would probably be best. In terms of quality of education, Cornell and Pomona are both awesome.</p>
<p>How would you rank Carleton’s College Economic program?</p>
<p>How would you rank the Carleton and Wesleyan economics programs? Which one is better?</p>
<p>What are the top 5-10 Economics programs on the west coast for somebody that wants to use it for business such as, retail banking and Ibanking, and eventually an MBA?</p>
<p>California Institute of Technology
Claremont McKenna College
Pomona College
Stanford University
University of California-Berkeley
University if California-Irvine
University of California-Los Angeles
University of California-San Diego
University of Southern California</p>
<p>Is that how you would rank those schools? From research and talking to people I hear its better to go to a top school than just a school with a top specific program.</p>
<p>Those also happen to be among the top universities in California. And I was not ranking them, I put them in alphabetical order.</p>
<p>Wow I had a long day at work, I didn’t even notice that haha. i’m most likely going to be headed to a UC, just not sure on which school. Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>I swear, when I read that all of you are going to the likes of Cornell, Pomona, NYU and maybe MIT, it makes me feel pretty dumb. I’m going to Texas A&M…</p>
<p>How would you rank USC (Southern Cal) based on its ECON undergrad program?</p>

<p>check this out if you’re looking at various economics programs</p>
<p>Alexandre out of those UC’s you listed,
UC Berkley
UCLA
UC San Diego
UC Irvine</p>
<p>Which would give me the best opportunity to move into upper-management in banking or possibly into the investment side of banking with a bus economics degree? And to get into a MBA program? Also I know UC San Diego offers a Management Science program in their econ department, are you familiar with this type of program? What type of courses are to be taken for this program? Their description is very vague and the advisors were no help when I emailed them.</p>
<p>Universities do not create managers. A university will open doors to entry-level positions. Once in, it is one’s performance, not one’s degree, that will set them apart.</p>
<p>In terms of opening doors, Cal and UCLA have the edge.</p>
