<p>In your opinion, should I go for Berkeley's Business Administration or UCLA's Business Economics?</p>
<p>Cal's business degree (at Haas) is rather tough to get into; UCLA's is quite easier I believe. Based on location, I prefer L.A. over North CA.</p>
<p>However, Haas' degree is more prestigious and more practical; UCLA's biz econ is more theoretical and not as well-respected as Haas.</p>
<p>Would any of you know which school would give me a greater shot at getting into Harvard/Standford/Wharton for my MBA?</p>
<p>Would either one of the 2 degrees give me a better chance at finding a job after college? What kinds of jobs does a Biz Econ degree usually get you?</p>
<p>I disagree that UCLA's program is easier to get into. While Cal's is more respected and higher ranked, UCLA for some reason chooses to impact Bix Econ and the competition to get into it is fierce.</p>
<p>Frankly, I doubt there would be any significant difference in both job opportunities or b-school opportunities between the schools. More companies, however, will recruit out of Haas. Furthermore, you'll learn more about business (and take classes like Marketing, Organizational Behavior, etc.) at Haas than you will in UCLA's BizEcon program which is simply the eocnomics major tailored to a business perspective. Essentially, econ+accounting+finance. Haas will give you that and more.</p>
<p>So, in your opinion, biz econ is just as hard to get into as Haas? If that is so, than I might as well choose Cal. One major factor remaining is the environment; I toured UCLA and found it stunningly beautiful. I will tour Cal this weekend.</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply.</p>
<p>Well, don't arbitrarily choose Cal... the school atmospheres are very different. In my opinion (though you'll find many dissenters), the quality of life at UCLA is much higher than that of depressing, perma-overcast Berkeley.</p>
<p>Though if I were going simply on strength of program and number of job opportunities post grad, I would choose Cal.</p>
<p>It's a tough decision. Good luck.</p>
