<p>lol guys thx for all the info. I did take a trip to riverside, the city seem decent, but still prefer irvine over riverside. Hopefully i can get accepted into usc or anywhere good :)</p>
<p>It depends on what you want to do, there’s some unfair bias towards pure Business Admin/ Accounting in this thread, top tier Econ programs have very good alumni placement, and as mentioned before it will be more Math/Econ heavy. Econometrics has great finance/ Ibaking applications but it’s very computation heavy.</p>
<p>My gripe with doing pure business for undergrad is that the job market is littered with people with business degrees and unless you have an emphasis on accounting/finance AND go to a school with prestige/good placement, it’ll be tough out of college. Besides, if you plan on going to B school why not consider a different area of study for you undergrad degree because you’ll end up doing business in the end anyways, why not pick up a set of skills, knowledge, etc. that you won’t be getting from B school?</p>
<p>Just my two cents, I will have to agree with the people saying that accounting is a sure bet where ever you go, you’re bound to land a decent gig with accounting, provided you have a decent resume. There is tremendous overlap between the majors discussed here, you can’t have any of them with out elements of the others.</p>
<p>I currently go to UCRiverside right now. The neighborhood is not that good once you get about 2 miles away from campus. Like it really is “the hood”. Education quality is alright, I find alot of the classes have generous curves so I’m sure you would do fine. Admission is pretty easy as well, so Riverside would definitely be a good backup.</p>
<p>guys, even though I did a little bit better this fall, and I was able to raise my gpa up to 3.6, BUT im still, whether, not sure about I can get into Irvine or USC. so in that case, do u guys think it is reasonable to sacrifice my dream major in business admin into Econ?
if econ, I probably can get in UCSD.
or should I go to Riverside for business admin.
with a 3.6 gpa I can get into a better school than riverside.
Also I heard UCSD doesn’t offer a true business degree, and I hate the fact that there are only 3 UCs that offer it. UCB, UCI, UCR, and USC.
Also part of the reasons that I want to get into a UC is because I want to work out of country someday.</p>
<p>bump for ideas suggestion :)</p>
