chances for the graduate business schools after UCLA

<p>how many students does the UCLA send to the best business graduate programs?What are the main requirements in admissions for the graduate business schools?do I have good chances to get to one of the best business programs with UCLA?what are the most important factors during four years at UCLA if I want to get to the best graduate business program? thanks a lot.</p>

<p>i will be happy if u even answer one of my questions,thaaanks a lot.</p>

<p>Main requirements= WORK EXPERIENCE, gmat,recs, essays</p>

<p>What school you go for undergrad doesn't really matter, so unfortunately, NO UCLA doesn't help much.</p>

<p>Great GPA= Great Internships= Good Job= Good Work Exp= Good Graduate B-school</p>

<p>thanks a lot. if I get double major- business economics-psychology,is there bigger chance to get better job? is combination of those two majors possible?or what do u think that is better combination with business economics?</p>

<p>but if I get good gpa at UCLA,does it count more than if I get good gpa at some school that is worse in rankings or doesnt have that good reputation as UCLA?</p>

<p>No I doubt double majoring in econ+psych would give you a leg-up. Yeah. I think it's possible. Psych isn't too intensive. I would suggest minoring instead.</p>

<p>Yeah for graduate school they definitely consider it, but for mba, what they really look at is work experience. Usually, you have to work 2 years before applying for MBA anyways.</p>

<p>None of this is as simple as you want it to be.</p>

<p>First off, you need to concern yourself more with your GPA, your GMAT score, and your work experience. The two you arguably have the most control over are the first and last. My recommendation is that you go and try to get internships for the summers, and start building your resume so that by the time graduation rolls around you can get a decent job more easily.</p>

<p>However, worrying about b-school now is silly. Worry about internships and keeping a good GPA.</p>

<p>thanks a lot guys. so which combination with business economics would u suggest?</p>

<p>does it also count if I have work experience in Europe?or is it better to have work experience in USA?i mean during summers.</p>

<p>Are you considering working outside of the U.S.? If so, try global studies+biz-econ.</p>

<p>I don't think it matters, though you shouldn't miss out on EAP and travel study</p>

<p>pacman1,</p>

<p>Stop worrying so much about the details. Do what makes sense. If you get a good internship in Europe, take it. Nobody cares if you work for Credit Suisse in the US or Europe.</p>

<p>yahooo... there IS no psych minor. just sayin' ;)</p>

<p>^ oops sorry if I offended any Psych ppl out there. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>so what would you recommend as the best combination with Business/economics in terms of finding job? Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Best combo? Do well in bizecon and network/find alumni that will pass your resume up. Finding a great job in the business world consists of alot of ass kissing. Better get to work.</p>

<p>do u think that any other major with bizecon wouldnt have any significant impact?</p>

<p>pacman1,</p>

<p>Employers really really don't care that much. They don't sit there and rank, say, history over sociology. Study what you're interested in and you'll do fine.</p>

<p>pacman1: im with you on that, im interested in either double majoring bizecon/psych or bizecon/poli-sci as well. let me know if you find out which "combo" is better</p>

<p>thanks a lot.i am asking so many things,maybe stupid things because I have a very little info about this.and i would like to have as many information as I can have.</p>

<p>yomino,i wrote on ur thread.</p>

<h1>1 thing in business is networking. I'm a history major and I've been able to get interviews with big financial firms by finding ucla alum, asking if I can call them (and subsequently ask Q's about firm I'm trying to break into) and half the time they offer to pass my resume to HR and their friends. Go out and network, it will take you MUCH farther than any BizEcon degree.</h1>

<p>yea,thanks.</p>
