Need advice! Berkeley or USC?

<p>So there's 3 hours left until tommarow, and I need to turn in my SIR. I know that I might change my mind, but FOR NOW i'm interested in Business/Accounting. I've been accepted to USC Marshall School of Business and Berkeley, but you have to apply to Haas later with a 50-60% chance of acceptance. What I want most out of college is a good chance to get into graduate school and a good job. I'm not sure what I should do, is economics a viable backup plan if I get rejected to Haas? What disadvantages might there be to taking econ instead of business as an undergrad? Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>P.S. Anybody know the exact time you have to turn in SIR by?</p>

<p>I should also mention I'm kind of worried about my future GPA in college. In high school, I'm taking all Honors/AP courses but I only have a 3.56, pretty low. I'm pretty smart, it's just I don't try as hard to get that A in difficult classes like Spanish/English. Also, assuming I don't get a BETTER gpa in college (unlikely I imagine), 3.5 is not that great to get into Haas. What do you think?</p>

<p>If you're thinking Business/Accounting, go to USC. You could even double major in business and accounting. Marshall Business and Leventhal Accounting are highly regarded schools; you can't go wrong by coming here. </p>

<p>A word of caution: You say you don't try as hard for an A. The Marshall curve will hurt your GPA if you're not prepared to work hard.</p>

<p>If you want to stay in SoCal, USC is the best school you can go to. Otherwise, Berkeley>USC no comparison.</p>
