<p>most probably finance, but i'll finish all the cores first then decide on the electives that will make up my concentration</p>
<p>oh yeh another reason for u to consider haas. iono if u've heard this rumor or w/e u wanna call it that, the BSBA u get in haas is similar an MBA.</p>
<p>i can say for one that its true... so far that is...
insane practical skills, on the spot 1 v 1 interviews, just immediate business skills usage rather than just going over lame theory</p>
<p>the readings we get are MBA readings. how do u i know? cuz it says "stanford graduate school of business".
guess all that rivalry goes away when it comes to course material
LOL</p>
<p>vrlobo and hongda can confirm this, we go to class together everyday =D
dekscholar was put into tues thurs schedule >_> boooo</p>
<p>Hm, that's pretty interesting. But I imagine the salary difference is quite big between a Haas graduate and an actual MBA, regardless of whether you guys are learning the same material. I guess it serves as something of a deterrent to get your MBA aside from money or just the recognition that you have an MBA since everything you learn will just be repetitive.</p>
<p>Btw, how is the mandatory summer thing going for you? Are people acting cutthroat already? Lol</p>
<p>yeh its cut throat. some people will do a lot to outshine the rest. some continuing students despise transfers. others TRY to be nice. u know wut i mean. from what i've observed so far, transfers work harder. but the continuing students sometimes just bust out something that just kills all competition. yup some kids are just that bright.
going from a CC to haas i think the number 1 thing u have to understand is ur seriously gonna get pwned and at times feel like total failure. and if ur so used to As, u'll have start accepting Bs as a major part of ur family</p>
<p>but this for year's transfers, well i can't speak for other batches of transfers, but i m pretty confident when i say that we got a bunch of incredible people. some are bright, some are loaded, some are experienced. especially in the case of work experience or life experience, i dare say transfers are a milestone ahead of the continuing students</p>
<p>When you say that some continuing students despise transfers, do they express that openly? Or do they just not make an attempt to be very friendly?</p>
<p>But yeah, I can definitely see why the transfer students have more work and life experience because the continuing students are all probably around 20 and just two years separated from high school.</p>
<p>jk_91: I know financial aid is a big issue for all of us, but there's little no way you're getting a full ride to any of these schools anyway. Just a heads up on the loans from UC's and stuff. Unless, of course, you apply and get letters of rec for some of the Alumni or other scholarships etc., =P </p>
<p>Anyway, apply. If it doesn't happen after the one year, and you manage to maintain a respectable GPA, you have other good options for transferring the year after. All the best!</p>
<p>oooo womenoftroy about that finan aid thing >_> i think USC is much more generous on that
case 1:
friend gets into marshall and haas.
USC offered 44k.
UCB offered $122</p>
<p>" don't mean to offend any bruins but i'd rather go to UCR and do biz admin than biz econ at UCLA."</p>
<p>ahahahahaha, do your research first before you make a bad decision. Biz Econ @ UCLA is one impacted major and the program is a great one--at least better than the UCR one. Well, it is understandable that you gonna choose UCR because you don't wanna get into the real challenge. </p>
<p>Also, the example from financial aid right there doesn't make sense if you don't have any evidence. In your opinion, UC are mean in financial aid but in fact from my real experience, they are generous and I also agree that USC is generous. Bottom line, UC schools are not mean!</p>
<p>Anyways, I don't wanna go further into redundant argument so I'll stop here. The main reason I visit this forum is helping as much as I can.</p>
<p>Guardiangel- Yeah, I know. I have a low efc as well but jk_91 has also shown a lot of concern over the matter. At this point, I'm just saying don't expect a full ride for any school without doing the extra work and applying to the already competitive private scholarships, hehe. </p>
<p>I think the costs are comparable if one's EFC is low. A friend of mine chose Cal over USC but has to take a 12k(?)+ loan to attend. :P Her EFC is 0 but she has no housing and that's what killed it, she needs a bit for tuition and then mostly for an apartment. Either way, the best school for her major happened to be a third one that she refused to attend. It just really depends what your family's situation is like.</p>
<p>6 people went to Haas from my community college with GPA's ranging from 3.6-4.0...if you really want it don't give up, go for it!! With that one extra year, take advantage of the time to get some work experience or internships that could boost your chances of acceptance and set you apart from other applicants.</p>

<p>I haven't transfered yet, but on another forum I'm on for cars there was a thread about UCLA students and many came in saying they hated transfers for group work projects.So I doubt many would say **** in person as people seem to grow balls on the internet or it could just be a few ****ed students. </p>
<p>Offtopic a bit but about USC for marshal if i wanna transfer there as junior do i need to have taken the Sats I'm just asking since its a private school.</p>
<p>lol kevin i think u missed my bottom line
i don't care which programs are better since they are totally different majors</p>
<p>"ahahahahaha, do your research first before you make a bad decision. Biz Econ @ UCLA is one impacted major and the program is a great one--at least better than the UCR one. Well, it is understandable that you gonna choose UCR because you don't wanna get into the real challenge."</p>
<p>i'm just saying i'd rather stick with my major than do biz econ just cuz its different
oh btw kevin... i m in haas already... so remind me what decision i had to make again? yup i probably don't wanna go to a challenging school =)</p>
<p>the finan part i know that guy from my CC. only 2 of us went to haas from our CC this year. that story is probably known by anyone in my CC honors community</p>
<p>neurocali do u have the names of the 6 peeps?
i probably know a few of them.</p>
<p>go to ur honors adviser and ask him or her
they should have a list of accepted transferring students into the UC system. they list the major as well.</p>
<p>Guardiangel, yes, I learn that you go go Haas... congratulation!</p>
<p>My previous point is that if you have 2 choices between UCLA and UCR, you should generally choose UCLA. </p>
<p>Between, I rather go to UCLA than UCB... I turned down UCB for UCLA. :)
Anyways, everyone should have their own decisions in regard of choosing which school to attend. </p>
<p>** Importantly, are you all starting as Junior next Fall? If so, are all of you ready to make a transition from CC to universities?**</p>
<p>yeh junior
the transition is hard. being from LA, berkeley is a totally new environment
i can say that cuz i m attending the mandatory summer school PSH
there goes my freakin summer
the way they speak english here is different from LA too. like seriously wth isn't it still in cali</p>
<p>1 tip for all u guys while transferring
know all ur transfers in ur major. they will be more willing to help in times of need. the haas students i know are pretty to themselves. they keep up a huge guard. they don't seem to be the kinda people that would ENJOY group work but then again ofcourse there are exceptions.</p>
<p>u'll get a ton of reading material. nothing compared to CC.
tip #2
ask continuing students if the reading is necessary. i spent 4-5 hours a day reading and when i told my GSI i did the reading he like cracked up in my face. he was like normally no one does the reading. but then again its just good general info. if u like to "know" then cool. but ask continuing students if reading for that class is necessary </p>
<p>the hardest part of transitioning is accepting that ur no longer king of the hill.
back in ur CC u might be the alpha male but not anymore. we had presentations yesterday which i thought many did soooo awesome and they got a B or B- the expectations are different. iono if its just haas but lets just say our midterms have like a C average. for me, before stepping in haas i wanted to try to atleast graduate with honors, highest honors if possible. guess what... that dream might be ruined before my fall semester even begins LOL</p>
