For UCLA Business Econ/Econ Rejects: Where are you going?

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>So I just found out that I got rejected by UCLA, right now I'm thinking where I should go</p>

<p>I applied to 5 UC's:</p>

<p>1.) Cal (Econ) --- Still waiting</p>

<p>2.) UCLA (Business Econ) --- Rejected</p>

<p>3.) UCSD (Management Science) --- Accepted</p>

<p>4.) UCI (Business Econ) --- Accepted</p>

<p>4.) UCSB (Business Econ - Accounting) --- Accepted</p>

<p>Any of you guys can give me some advice on what should I pick? (my interests are accounting/finance related studies)</p>

<p>Or any of you guys can share your decisions on where you are going?</p>

<p>UCSD: No guaranteed on-campus housing, and the new transfer housing is very expensive. No accounting as a minor. The most prestigious among the 3 campuses.</p>

<p>UCSB: More party and more social. Majority whites. Less math classes to take once you transfer (compared to UCI).</p>

<p>UCI: Majority asian. more math classes to take. Business Administration as a new major will be open in 2010. More like a commuter school compared to the other two.</p>

<p>I’m also rejected from UCLA, oh well. I still hadn’t heard anything from UCSD. I guess I’m going to UCI, and I heard their econ program is quite good, even better than UCSD.</p>

<p>I applied to 5 UC’s:</p>

<p>1.) Cal (Haas) — Still waiting; ain’t going to happen, though
2.) UCLA (Business Econ) — Rejected
3.) UCD (Managerial Econ) — Accepted
4.) UCI (Business Econ) — Accepted
5.) UCSB (Business Econ - Accounting) — Accepted</p>

<p>…I didn’t apply to UCSD, because honestly it doesn’t sound very appealing.</p>

<p>I’m going to UCSB. I’ve lived in Irvine for 15 years, so I’m absolutely sick of Irvine and couldn’t stand going to UCI. UCD is a little too rural for me.</p>

<p>Other bizecon (or not) UCSB transfers should hit me up. :)</p>

5

<p>me too! woohooo… appeal time. =)</p>

<p>I’m going to appeal and wait for the privates, other than that, I’m thinking UCSB.</p>

<p>EDIT: Only applied to three UCs</p>

<p>LA: Biz Econ - Reject
SD: Math/Econ - Accept
SB: Biz Econ - Accept.</p>

<p>I should have just applied Math/Econ for LA. I was going to pickup the math major if I was accepted anyhow. <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>I got into UCSD for Econ. I already am at Econ at UCI.</p>

<p>I’ll stay at UCi, and I will commute the next 2 years. I am getting a new 2010 Camaro SS, so I will have a blast driving that.</p>

<p>Btw: the difference between econ and business econ and UCI is negligible. There are a set of like 6 upper div classes you must take to satisfy a requirement for the business econ major and econ major alike. It’s just that, in that set of 6, 3 of those courses are already chosen for you in business econ, while regular econ has more flexability.</p>

<p>In addition, UCI has this emphasis on international business, as a speciality for economics. It might be something to look into.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing, PartiallyDeaf…</p>

<p>International business is also one of my interests besides accounting and finance</p>

<p>If I end up going to UCI as a business econ major, I would also like to minor in accounting as well…</p>

<p>By the way, are there a lot of requirements for accounting minor?</p>

<p>Is it difficult to get into accounting minor or does it worth to do so?</p>

<p>I would appreciate if anyone can give me more advice about UCI business econ, internships at the campus, life at UCI…etc.</p>

<p>Accounting is actually something that I am in the process of applying for. I believe the average GPA for accounting is a 3.4. You need 4 classes… Math 2A, Math 2B (both are single variable calc), and Management 30A and Management 30B (Financial and managerial accounting, respectively). You cannot get below a B in any of those 4 required classes, and also have above a 3.0 to apply.</p>

<p>Accounting is doable, and I will most likely get it, but it is boring. lol</p>

<p>Partially Deaf, do you know how the accounting minor thing works for transfer students?</p>

<p>I’ve taken Math 2A and 2B at my CC and both got A’s, so does that mean I satisfy the condition for math?</p>

<p>Also, I’ve taken two UC transferable accounting classes at CC, but I’m not sure if they are equivalent to Management 30A and 30B though…</p>

11

<p>I do not know how it works for transfer students, sorry! I also do not know what counts for what. You would need to speak with a counsellor.</p>

12

<p>It’s alright Partially Deaf, I guess I would spend some time over the weekend and do some research about the major&minor at UCI…</p>

<p>By the way, if I ended up choosing to attend UCI, do you think I would enjoy the campus and the business econ program?</p>

</p>

<p>Yes. If you came from at CCC and took financial and managerial accounting (pre-reqs for UCLA bizecon), then it should be equivalent to Management 30A and 30B at UCI. Check assist.org under business admin major</p>

<p>[ASSIST</a> Report: IRVINE 08-09 UCI Articulation Agreement by Major](<a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST)</p>

<p>But for a transfer student, you have to take management 130A (intermediate accting 1) and get a B minimum before applying for the accounting minor.
Look at General Catalogue under accounting minor

<p>My thoughts:
I think UCI is the best alternative choice if you get rejected at UCLA as a bizecon major. UCI offers business minors in management and accounting from their business school not like other UC’s. The only reason that I THINK that business econ at UCLA so prestige is that they are allow students to take business classes from Anderson school of management. Other then that its just a regular economics program which you can probably get the same or better from UCSD. But if you want the duel business/econ curriculum like UCLA, I think UCI is your best bet.</p>

<p>If you turn out not liking bizecon at UCI, you can always try to change business admin during FALL '10 but it will be super competitive.</p>

<p>I don’t know. I thought I could get into LA, but you never know…
Anyway, I think I’ll go to UCSB, because they offer accounting there.
My friends, however, suggest that I should go to Cal if I get accepted. They all said it’s a much better school, but the problem is they don’t have accounting class. Well, at least not for people with econ major, I guess. Will see if I can get into Cal. After LA rejection…I seriously doubt if I’ll get into Cal…</p>

<p>UCSB doesn’t have an AACSB accreditation in business or accounting but I dunno if that is important or not. I hear ppl still get recruited by the big 4 tho. The choice is up to you. I would also take professionalism into account too. I don’t want to stereotype but I hear from everyone at my school say that UCSB is a “party” school and I don’t think that will look well upon the employers.</p>
