<p>Anyone here for communications at Cal? I was considering doing business and try to get into Haas, but now I'm reconsidering.</p>
<p>Now I may major in Communications and maybe try to get into a business school at maybe Davis, SD, LA, who knows... But Haas seems too tough for my type.</p>
<p>Anyone out there who's in the same boat as me?</p>
<p>don’t just do communications pick something to double in… like english or econ or something else more substantial</p>
<p>I fear the econ at Cal after hearing what everyone has said</p>
<p>What would be a good major to go to business school afterwards (a business school not named Haas, mind you)</p>
<p>why are you coming to cal if you are so afraid of it?</p>
<p>econ is not very hard at all.</p>
<p>Are you talking about an MBA? because Davis, SD, and LA don’t have undergrad business schools. And, if you are talking about a MBA, why not try out for Haas post-grad?</p>
<p>you mean media studies right? bc Cal doesn’t have communications. u should just go to UCLA for comm studies</p>
<p>@flutterfly – really? econ’s not hard? i was thinking about majoring in econ too</p>
<p>@demoz – yes i was talking about an MBA. In Haas post-grad, I saw from one chart that the average age there is 28, and most people already have plenty of business experience. </p>
<p>Is Haas undergrad worth it though? 25% get accepted, and you have to work your tail off… but is it worth it?</p>
<p>~ 50% get in.</p>
<p>not in this year’s class at Haas</p>
<p>[Class</a> Profile, Undergraduate Program - Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley](<a href=“Class Profile - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas”>Class Profile - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas)</p>
<p>At the bottom it says 1089 applicants weren’t even eligible, and of those that were, only 101 were offered admission. Of those eligible, that’s 25%. Of all applicants, that’s about 9% who were offered admission.</p>
<p>So you are a transfer then?</p>
<p>263/560 of berkeley students got in, why are you looking at transfers?</p>
<p>my apologies, did not see transfer students asterik</p>
<p>so… you think econ at Cal is doable? and then try to get an mba somewhere else…
Or would you really really push that Haas undergrad intensive competitive program?</p>
<p>Take both UGBA 10 and Econ 1 your first year and see how those go. And don’t think about it till then.</p>
<p>so if i go through my first year and turns out i dont think i want business anymore, would it be too hard to change my major and then fulfill all requirements for it in the remaining 3 years?</p>
<p>or even if i do go through with business and get rejected by Haas, I can still major in Econ and then try to get an MBA elsewhere, correct?</p>
<p>Every MBA program requires plenty of business experience, not just Haas.</p>
<p>so what would you suggest if I don’t get into Haas but still wanna do business?</p>
<p>do econ? lol…</p>
<p>so this seems to be the typical track:</p>
<p>go for business for the first 2 semesters, apply for Haas. If you get in, great, and then it’s off to infinity and beyond. If you don’t, then major in econ the remaining 2 years then try to get into a business school elsewhere.</p>
<p>That’s what my 4-year plan is starting to look like…</p>
<p>a mass com degree is a great when you run out of toilet paper.</p>
<p>So… are you advocating a mass com degree? Is it a decent enough major and helpful enough to get into business school after 4 years? Or do business schools even look at majors?</p>
