<p>Shylohh- if your daughter does do Haas, she’ll be taking a number of business courses in areas that may not interest her (finance, accounting, economics), given that she knows she’s interested in graphic design. This may take away flexibility in her four-year class schedule, whereas she could do media studies (and stats if she’s interested), more independently pursue marketing internships and jobs (clubs like Innovative Design, ImagiCal, and UMA might be worthwhile to check out), and go that route. On the other hand, Haas will provide her with professional resources and access to introductory and advanced marketing classes. She could consider a double-major in Media Studies and Haas as well.</p>
<p>I’d say that, for the most part, if you deserve to be in Haas (in terms of grades, extracirriculars, etc.), you’ll get in. Some deserving candidates don’t, and some undeserving candidates do, but I’d say that it’s largely a straightforward and reasonable application system.</p>
