<p>I am a junior in California, and am very interested in studying Economics in college, and hopefully ending up working as an I-banker or Stockbroker. In terms of campus, I absolutely loved Berkeley, even more than Stanford, and it is a better choice in terms of money. Do you know how good Berkeley is in Economics/Finance compared with other colleges? How hard it it to get into Haas, and what is in store if you do not get in? How is Berkeley in terms of job placement/recruiting? What are other schools to consider around Berkeley's range of prestige? Thanks!</p>
