<p>""“Judging from this and past posts it doesn’t seem like you’ve done much research on the UCs. Haas and Econ at UC Berkeley and Business Econ and Econ at UCLA are your best bets for banking. Anywhere else and you will have to network like mad to get in, and even at these two, banking positions are competitive.”""
Yeah, I’ve been kind of blindsided because everything I’m looking up has basically been the complete opposite of what my advisers told me.</p>
<p>""“I noticed that you’re an OOS transfer applicant. Your chances of getting into Haas are razor thin, especially with your not having already completed the macroecon prereq. According to a UC admissions blog, only one OOS transfer applicant has been accepted to Haas in the past decade. I don’t know the admissions statistics for transfer students overall, but it’s likely more difficult to get into Berkeley/LA as an OOS transfer than OOS freshman.”""
1 in the past decade? That’s seriously insane! Oh well, I think I’ll apply anyways. I just have to remember that I never really expected to get into these UC schools, I guess I’m just applying for the hell of it. Yeah, I’ll be taking micro and macro econ, along with managerial acct in the spring, so I guess I’m screwed there.</p>
<p>""“Also, really if you’re trying to get into banking for the money it isn’t worth it. The hours are grueling and when you divide your salary by the number of hours you end up working, the pay really isn’t all that fantastic. 2/3 of your day will be spent sitting motionless at a desk. At my wealth management internship most days I didn’t even work eight hours and I still hated it–because I’m not into WM.”""
This is good advice, and I’ve read similar things throughout the internet. Though, I am interested in the financial and analytic business world. I just have to find something that pays high money -.-</p>
<p>""“Edit: I just noticed the updates that you made to your post. I know little about Irvine because I’m not applying, but Anderson is UCLA’s graduate business school. (Really. Do some more research.)”""
Thank you, I’ll make sure to do more research.</p>
<p>Overall, I’ll probably end up transferring to the University of Utah (I’m at a utah cc) when all is said and done, considering my chances of getting into anywhere else and my financial situation…I guess applying to the UC system is kinda a big waste of time then huh? Actually, my uncle sort of told me this too. Hmmm, honestly right now I’m thinking that I won’t even apply. Might as well save the money, time, and stress.</p>
<p>Anyways Gunnn, I threw up some of my stats below. If you have any interest, take a look. Any insight you could give, or recommendations, or anything at all would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks for all your help man!</p>
