<p>I know that Berkeley Haas School is extremely well-credited in the nation, and it attracts numerous amount of recruitiers, even the very top ones.</p>
<p>Although I'd love to go there, unfortunately I've applied for Economics. Do you think Economics major will fall behind the Business majors in terms of recruition? In another word, do recruiters prefer business major over econ major? Or would it not matter at all and view both majors as equal?</p>
<p>...recruition?</p>
<p>recruiters...recruition.</p>
<p>that's too funny@</p>
<p>ok so i assume there is no recruiting of interns at Berkeley since none of you seems to be familiar with the term...</p>
<p>Any kinds of specific jobs we are talking about here? I would say Economics majors generally are close to the same level as Business in terms of recruitment. However, this might vary as well depending on the employer. </p>
<p>From my own experience the engineers are the ones getting all the preference from the recruiters. While most of the recruiting is for engineering jobs in the first place they seem to be preferred even on fields like Investment Banking or Finance. I guess their quantitative skills are difficult to dispute.</p>
<p>I'm talking about Investment Banking or Financing cuz that's the area of career I'll be entering once I graduate.</p>
<p>woot woot - go I-banking!</p>
<p>Well, we're not familiar with the word 'recruition' because it doesn't exist, not because there is no intern recruiting here at Berkeley. It's called 'recruitment.' Sorry, not trying to be mean.</p>
<p>Econ is recruited as much as Business, I think. Besides, it makes no difference that you're applying as an econ major. If you get into L&S, you can just take the Haas pre-reqs etc and apply to Haas in your sophomore year. Applicants don't seem to realize the major they put down is largely immaterial (unless you're applying to a specific school, such as College of Engineering). You aren't admitted by major or into a major; once you're in L&S, you're the same as someone who put 'undeclared' on their application. </p>
<p>You can see what econ majors do after graduation here:

<p>Thing is, I'm transferring in to Berkeley L&S junior, and from my understanding, you can't change major once your a junior...</p>
<p>correct me if im wrong.</p>
<p>Yes and no. For example, for students are conditionally admitted into the psychology/econ/computer science major at the junior level. If their grades don't cut it, they cannot major in that, and will have to find a substitute.</p>
<p>don't expect to be recruited if you use words like "recruition"</p>
<p>well Bush became the President!</p>

<p>I can't think of a single person on CC more arrogant than you.</p>
<p>You can switch majors, but can't switch into Haas at that point.</p>

<p>wth man? I seriously have no idea what so bad about what I've said. Is letting people know that I'm a transfer student really an act of extreme arrogance?</p>

</p>
<p>well if I can't switch to Business major, then there is no point of switching to other major, at least for me (unless i completely lose interest with Economics).</p>
<p>But it's nice to know that Econ students are not falling behind the Haas students at all. That just kept my spirit up ;)</p>
