<p>Hi everyone!
Can you analyze/evaluate the pros and cons of persuing a business major in these three colleges? I would like to know more about the comparison of their specialties/internship opportunities/study abroad programs. Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>btw my SAT scores:
SATI 2100
SATII physics 730 MathII 780</p>
<p>I believe that Georgetown requires 3 SAT IIs. All three are good business schools but you want to look at them based on your specialization in business.</p>
<p>Personally, I think it is foolish to look on a school based on specialty, considering the avergae student changes majors 5 times. Choose the one that best suites you as an individual overall, not one that has the best specialty.</p>
<p>why won’t you apply to Berkeley too, if you’re applying to USC. Berkeley’s business program is substantially superior to USC’s. </p>
<p>What’s your HS GPA?</p>
<p>I thought of applying to Berkeley. In fact, Berkeley was one of my dream schools. But my parents are quite againts it due to their cutting classes. Is the situation really that bad? I heard some protests were going on. </p>
<p>My UW GPA is 4.0/4.0</p>
<p>there were not classes closed due to the budget cut. in fact, berkeley is adding classes. </p>

The contributions bring the amount raised by the Campaign for Berkeley to $1.8 billion since 2005, well over halfway to the target of $3 billion by 2013.</p>
<p>…Birgeneau, who has been a vocal advocate for higher education in the Capitol, said Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had assured him recently over dinner that “he was going to stick to his commitment” to provide $300 million in additional funding for UC.</p>
<p>…In contrast to last year, he added, when course offerings were reduced by 1 percent, “We’ve put more money into reading and composition courses, and more money — which will be implemented in the spring semester — into the gateway math and science courses.”</p>
<p>In a message to the campus earlier this week, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost George Breslauer announced that more than $1 million in new funds would be allocated to the chemistry, mathematics, physics and statistics departments to add lower-division courses and sections required for students majoring in the sciences and engineering.*</p>

<p>*As fall classes begin this week at the University of California, Berkeley, the 2010-11 academic year promises to be markedly more upbeat than the last, with ramped-up faculty hiring, dozens more lower-division courses to help students graduate on time, and major progress on key construction projects, including the renovation of Memorial Stadium. *</p>

Our undergraduate class this year is as remarkable as ever, bringing many of the brightest and highest achieving students from across California to Berkeley. This year’s class has more international and out-of-state students than ever before, representing a greater geographic diversity and contributing to a broader mix of cultures and perspectives among our student body. For academic as well as financial reasons, we are gradually shifting our enrollment balance over the next four years from 11% to 20% non-resident and 80% California resident. This increase is being accommodated by reducing the over-enrollment of California students for whom we do not receive funding from the state, and will bring us back steadily to our budgeted enrollment targets for California residents. In addition to meeting our educational goals, this change will generate additional revenue for the campus, which we are using to improve services for all of our students. For example, we are making available more Reading & Composition courses and gateway courses, beginning this year with mathematics and sciences, to ease the way for undergraduates to earn their degrees in four years. This has been very well received by our students.*</p>
