<p>Do you think the Haas exclusive advantages are worth it? Risking your chances at getting into berkeley by applying as a business major rather than econ.</p>
<p>If you’re transferring, yes. But if you’re applying as a freshmen, I don’t think it’ll matter much (maybe a bit since its L&S undeclared vs Econ, but I doubt it’s a big difference).</p>
<p>^ You don’t risk anything because you can’t even apply to Haas or Econ as an incoming freshman. You can only apply to either majors in your 2nd year when you have completed the pre-requisites.</p>
<p>Forgot to add that I will be transferring from a cc</p>

<p>It is probably easier to double L&S CS with Economics than EECS with Economics.</p>
<p>But it seems like you are saying that both UGBA and Economics major career results are confounded by a large number of double majors.</p>
<p>I think people who major in Econ tend to have Econ as a secondary major while people who major in business have business as their primary major. For instance, you don’t see the title “software engineer” in the business report as you see in the econ report.</p>
<p>Either way, I do believe that both are confounded by double majors. But econ to a larger degree. But if we were talking about the value of a degree, I would say Business is a much better investment. </p>
<p>And from personal experience, I think that getting a Haas degree has definitely helped me :)</p>
<p>I guess ill just give haas a shot.</p>
<p>The majority of what you learn in Econ you also learn at Haas. Like micro and macro, and a lot of the electives count for both majors.</p>
<p>And I think Haas is a lot better. A lot of recruiters at career fairs ask me if I’m in Haas and it makes me so feel so inferior by telling them, “No, I’m econ.”</p>
<p>But like others have said, work experience is the most important attribute imo. If you can get solid internships every summer then you’ll be in great shape regardless of your major.</p>
