<p>Got into UCLA Design|Media Arts… probably the most competitive art program on the west coast.
On the same day got offered a full tuition scholarship(excluding room & board) from Syracuse to attend the No. 2 architecture program(DesignIntelligence 2010) in the nation.</p>
<p>decisions, decisions… any recommendations?</p>
<p>got in but too expensive out of state :(</p>
<p>got accepted… but i want 2 major in business administration…and UCLA only hasd bizz-econ… not really my thing… so hopin 4 usc!</p>
<p>Here are the top reasons why someone should want a Business BA:
<p>If you get into Berkeley, I’m not going to deny it’s a “safer” choice than UCLA. But, once there, you shouldn’t have to stress out about being admitted into Haas. An Econ degree from Berkeley would suit you just the same if you intend to get an MBA.</p>

People in this thread are just exaggerating. ChargersFan doesn’t know what she’s talking about (she’s just a “proud” Berkeley mother) and you can judge from the grammar and spelling of mnop444’s post that he doesn’t have half a brain. binks09 was being defensive of our university. </p>
<p>Berkeley and UCLA students often share some animosity towards each other. At the UCLA end, many were rejected from Berkeley and find the students there elitist. On the Berkeley end, they see that UCLA’s numbers (admittance rate, GPA, SAT) have become more competitive over the past few years and they realize that this university will become an imminent threat to their #1 Undergrad Public School position.</p>
<p>There are a lot of people who say they are passionate for a business degree on this thread and I will not argue they’re wrong. If you get into Berkeley, going there would be a wise choice anyways. I will say Marshall is not worth the tuition, however.</p>
<p>Chargerfans, do you know from experience that an undergrad is competitive with an MBA grad due to the prospect of lower salary? It just seems a bit far-fetched. I would think the position you are applying for determines the salary, and that some positions are largely only for MBA grads (such as associate positions in banks).</p>
<p>One piece of information is missing here regarding the discussion of BBA vs MBA. Most of the top MBA program that lead to prominent business career requires 3-5 years of sounding work experiences. Straight out after bachelor degree is not unheard, but only a few if looking into the student profile. So this brings back the old question, which program, business vs. economic have a better job placement. Save the MBA later.</p>
<p>I am accepted as an English major transfer. I already sent them my SIR. I don’t have to worry about what the living expenses UCLA calculates into the costs and I qualify for fed grants and will only need about a $5000 loan which I am also eligible for. I am incredibly excited about the English program at UCLA, so I chose LA over SD because of that.</p>
