I like to think of UCLA as one of the "opportunity" schools in the nation; it has top 10 rankings in a wide range of different departments, and it gives you the safety of studying what you find interesting and then still finding a career..

<p>What about resrticitiveness of transferring into certain majors, or into certain colleges? Also, I think it's misleading to think that going to some unknown school (from the perspective of the public) will necessarily impede job finding- in fact, some have amazing alumni associations which help alums incredibly.</p>

So either pay 44K a year and go to HYPS

</p>
<p>Or receive need based financial aid at these schools, or sports scholarships at Stanford (over 12.5 million yearly).</p>

nd let them make you successful or pay 23K a year, go to UCLA, and make your OWN success with the facilitation of hundreds of student support and academic advising groups that YOU must take the initiative to enroll in.

</p>
<p>Getting into these schools for the average student involves a lot of success- certainly this is also true of UCLA, but likely to a somewhat lesser extent (although still significant).</p>

Imagine this thread in the Berkeley forum. The posters over there will bash the living daylights out of anyone with statements like dhl3's. =)

<p>C'mon, misterr, you guys definitely seem to be better than us at insulting a random person who isn't even very offensive. :) Maybe if you dealt with an actual vicious poster you may even out perform there.</p>

Many people at UCLA chose UCLA over UCB, including me, basically my entire orientation group chose UCLA over UCB.

</p>
<p>What does this justify?</p>
<p>"As for Haas of berkeley, I MAY consider it, but big chance that I won't apply there either."</p>
<p>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.</p>
<p>This whole argument is kind of pointless. I think dhl3 should apply to UCB, or UCLA, or wherever he wants to go for an undergrad degree first, and see if he even gets in. No point in talking about Wharton or Anderson if the first step towards your goal isn't even completed, is there?</p>
<p>"oh trust me, i can get into UCLA."</p>
<p>I agree with you sofakingwangsta, but dhl3 believes that he is a shoo-in.
Then again, so did many others.</p>
<p>UCLA biz econ is notouriously tough to get into....</p>
<p>"UCLA biz econ is notouriously tough to get into.."</p>
<p>and im notoriously good :D</p>
<p>Well, I guess we'll have to wait a year and see about that.</p>
<p>For everyone involved in this thread:</p>
<p>here's a book I reccommend. If you've read it, hold your tongue.</p>
<p>hey dhl3...i think what everyone here is trying to say is that you seem to know exactly what you want to do with your life/career and so you should just do it...the ucla students that are on this forum are quite proud of our school as am i and so when someone doubts the prestige of ucla, it can start to become personal...however, giving you the benefit of the doubt, assuming you don't intentionally bash ucla just to do it, i sincerely feel like you don't need any further opinion/advice on ucla and its economics program...you seem to have a clear image of what you want and need and that's great news for you...so you really no longer need to continue this thread...on a last note, good luck with your future goals.</p>
<p>ekn111,
nice post. you deserve a nomination to be ucla forum mod. haha. ;)</p>
<p>after reading this thread, i'm genuinely more excited about attending ucla in the fall as a freshman. whoever this dhl3 kid is needs to change his attitude, but i'm really impressed by the way the ucla students have responded to him. even when putting up with someone with such a horrible demeanor, nowhere do you guys look your sense of tact or judgment. it's nice to know that my future classmates are intelligent, yet also well-bred and sophisticated. maybe that's why these guys will nail those jobs five years down the line when guys like dhl3 will be hammered on the job scene on grounds of behavioral nuisance.</p>
<p>"even when putting up with someone with such a horrible demeanor"</p>
<p>ok just exactly where did i show such a horrible demeanor? Please quote anything I said that may have deserved to be called "horrible".</p>
<p>All I remember doing is telling my personal goal, and saying that Wharton, not Anderson, is my goal. Oh yes, and i mentioned that Wharton is better than Anderson, but since that's been nationally recognized fact as well as among the UCLA students themselves, I won't really see it as an act of "horrible demeanor".</p>
<p>no one here wants to patronize you, let the discussion end here.</p>
<p>Oh I just want reasons and supporting evidence for mochafrap's person bashing on me.
That's all I want to hear.
I'm sorry, but I'm not the kind of person who likes to ignore personal bashing done on me. </p>
<p>Rest of you, you dont have to post here.</p>
<p>dhl3:</p>
<p>Wharton: Super Reach</p>
<p>I agree with all the other UCLA students in this thread. dhl3, your original question was already answered: UCLA is well-credited. However, your follow-up comparison between Anderson (#10), Haas (#7) and Wharton (#3) remains a straw-man irrelevant to your original question... Splitting hairs between #3/#7/#10 reflects more on your personal expectations than the schools themselves, given their mutual status as elite business schools. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if you posted another thread in UPenn's forum asking "how well credited is UPenn?", followed up by straw-man comparisons about how Wharton isn't good enough for you and Harvard Business School (#1) is your only match. We find it interesting how you confessed to being a community college transfer applicant that hasn't even been admitted to UCLA yet... Did you get rejected from UCLA as a freshman applicant? What were your UC GPA and SAT I/II scores? Perhaps you should walk the walk before you can talk the talk. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Naw, I dont want to go to Harvard. It would be nice, but Wharton would be enough for me.</p>
<p>oh and the reason why i mentioned how Wharton is better than Anderson.. is because in my OP, it also contained question of "what's the chance of having to earn internship at a top class Business company like McKinsey?", and I was merely describing the situation of both business schools related to recruitment from McKinsey. My main intent was to tell everyone that McKinsey looks at Ivy students first prior to the Anderson/UCLA students, so I was bringing out the fact that I might as well go to a school where I'll have bigger chance of being recruited to the firm of my dream. That's why I said Wharton was my goal, not Anderson.</p>
<p>However, some people here misinterpreted my post and accused me of bashing UCLA. If you read my post from beginning, you'll be able to see that I in no way bashed UCLA. I actually praised UCLA for its reputation and quality.</p>
<p>It's kind of sad to see how people have made me the enemy of the Bruins, and a bad guy.</p>
<p>"UCLA just seem like a so-so school."
"well it's true that UCLA isn't good enough."
"In Ivy student's perception, UCLA is just a joke."
"damn.. UCLA people are so short-tempered..."</p>
<p>hm, i wonder why everyone thought you were bashing UCLA. must be our wild imaginations.</p>
<p>by the way, your english is horrible. better work on that if you want to get into wharton.</p>
<p>"UCLA just seem like a so-so school".</p>
<p>You forgot to quote the whole thing.
I said COMPARED TO IVY SCHOOLS.</p>
<p>""well it's true that UCLA isn't good enough."</p>
<p>For Wharton, yes, because it is extremely difficult to get in, not because Anderson suck, but because McKinsey just doesnt recruit very much in Anderson, so less opportunity.</p>
<p>"damn.. UCLA people are so short-tempered..."</p>
<p>yeah, adn you guys treated me like some retard before, and you see nothing wrong with that?</p>
