<p>One thing to consider is that if you do choose Berkeley and end up deciding to apply to Haas down the road (which would be easy to do since you’re already in L & S if you went to Berkeley), even the process of preparing to apply for Haas (getting involved in on-campus clubs, looking for summer internships as an underclassman, etc.) will prepare you well for a career in i-banking even if you don’t get into Haas. It would perhaps be more of a do-it-yourself mentality, but I definitely wouldn’t consider your decision solely on the difficulty of getting into Haas for this reason.</p>
