<p>I actually used to love USC and that was my dream school until I heard of Haas, after that I forgot about USC and felt that I would not be happy at USC, ever since I actually started CC, my mind is shifting to a more real approach and I'm starting to forget about Haas (And I realized, USC is a good school!). But I guess if I can get the A I need in my Philosophy class I'll still work for Haas. </p>
<p>The reason why I lost so much faith in Haas is because of how intense my Philosophy class is and I was expecting to get a job at a bank but a friend of mine said that you need to work on the weekdays and they want someone dedicated and it would be really hard for me to handle let alone have a flexible work/school schedule. My friend also said that if I want to go to Haas I won't have a life and that I'd really need to rip my *** and that I don't need that kind of pressure. Even if I was willing to kill myself I don't think it would happen because I have an assignment right now and I'm not working on it like I should.</p>
<p>So what I am going to do is enjoy myself and release all this pressure off of me and see whatever happens.</p>
<p>I think it is not unfair to say to do well at Haas will take tremendous effort and time. But, you should not let your friends mold your future. I do not know how much knowledge your friends have about Haas or if they are actually in Haas. What I know is that even the people in Haas right now will have varying opinions about how hard the school is and how much "fun" they can have. And a word or two about working at a bank. I have talked to one of the representatives at Haas, and she said the extracurricular activity DOES NOT have to pertain to business AT ALL. What they want to see is your leadership skills and that you are taking initiatives to develop interests and that you are able to contribute to the diversity of culture and interests at Haas. I am not saying getting into Haas is going to be easy nor am I saying that studying at Haas won't be hard. I simply do not know the answer. But, here is my rationale in pursuing my goal of getting into Haas: life is short and I want to achieve as many things as i can, even the things that many consider impossible. If you want to go to Haas, do not be discouraged by what others say but be motivated by challenges and hardships that you will face and overcome in the future!</p>
<p>im applying to haas next year in the fall (this is my first semester at cc): i was wondering, do i need to tell them my sat score? and if i do, can i take it again?
right now it's at 1840 (630 critical reading, 600 writing, 610 math)</p>
<p>Totally acceptable argument. I laughed at the thread, funny here and there.</p>
