<p>Hobo nothing is guarenteed! In order to get that overseas program, you better have a top GPA (maybe I'm mistaken, but at any UC if you want any kind of study abroad program.. they only take the top students).</p>
<p>basically usc owns.</p>
<p>Sorry to bump, but I had a question since someone mentioned the accounting program. I was looking at Part I of the application and noticed that the accounting major for Marshall states "freshmen only." From the way people have talked about it, however, it sounds like you can still transfer into Leventhal? If so, how would you go about that?</p>
<p>u cannot transfer directly into leventhal. you need to take baud 305x with a B- or better to get into the accounting program. thats what im doing now</p>
<p>moss, baud 305x is the two accounting classes combined right?? i need to take that, tell me how it is :)</p>
<p>yeah, 305x is just a review of financial/managerial accounting just like when you took it at your community college. it should be the least of your worries, math 218 is pretty tough... im in a weird ass situation with it right now... i may drop it and take it next semester, ugh</p>
<p>wow another USC vs. UCLA comparison thread...UCLA is a public uni and USC is private...thus a fair comparison isn't possible. UCLA is in reach of more students than USC. Outside of CA more people have heard of UCLA than USC so that should tell you which uni has better reputation. For some Marshall might offer the perfect business education but some might want the economics emphasis. Just because a certain someone picked Marshall over UCLA Biz/Econ doesn't necssarily make USC's program better. Let's face it in rankings UCLA constantly beats USC by a large margin be it in overall, engineering or business. So the USC ghetto kids need to **** and vent their insecurities somewhere else. kthanksbi.</p>
<p>whats math 218x? is it stats? i think i completed that requirement.</p>
<p>you cannot complete the stats req at a CC, you must take it at UCLA. and it is not "basic" stats, it is calculus based statistics and has a pre req of a year of calculus... its a totally different class.</p>
<p>"MATH 218 - Probability for Business"</p>
<p>I'm guessing this isn't a course that can be taken outside of USC, is it?</p>

<p>US Newsweek:
UCLA 26
USC 27</p>
<p>NOT a large margin.</p>
<p>USC undegrad business program - #9 in the nation
USC undergrad Accounting prog - #4 in the nation
UCLA undergrad Econ program - God knows, but highly doubt it falls under top 10.</p>
<p>Let's not even talk about grad school cuz we are limiting our discussion to only undergrad schools.</p>
<p>I don't agree with that, I got GREAT financial aid at USC as a transfer Actually, I got better aid when I was admitted as a transfer than when I was admitted my freshman year (i just didn't go and then i regretted it so i transfered and its the BEST decision I ever made. There is so much school spirit here and its just an incredible experience). You can transfer to USC after one year but UCLA requires you to wait 2 years to transfer. Come to USC!!!! I picked USC over UCLA and I'm so so so so happy!!!!!!!!!!! They are both great schools so you can't go wrong either way but I think that USC will be easier for you to transfer to from a UC because its hard to go UC to UC. You could also go to a CC though and try to transfer to Usc after 1 year and if you don't get in try after 2 years to UCLA (you'll have a better shot at UCLA from a CC than a UC). Good luck!!!</p>

<p>You are using one ranking system for ONE year to come up with your argument? If you are talking about US News only, USC has been in the 35-40s ranks for a long time...that's more indicative of its reputation than this one freak year. And what about other rankings like Washington Monthly, and the Shanghai World Rankings? Both rank UCLA well above USC.</p>
<p>As for undergrad Business UCLA doesn't have a BUSINESS major so there's no use comparing it.</p>
<p>Why are you bringing up specific majors like Accounting? First of all UCLA only offers Accounting as a minor...and if I were to bring up specific majors, UCLA will again win by a wide margin.</p>
<p>well you are the one that claimed that UCLA had better Business than USC, and now you are saying there is no use of comparing it? </p>

<p>Surely you knew that this thread was meant to discuss undergrad. studies only, why did you even bring Business up when you know that UCLA doesn't even have undergrad. Business program?</p>

<p>I never claimed I was only talking about undergrad...you did</p>
<p>so you were talking about graduate school.
Well it turns out that this thread (as a matter of fact, the entire board) is intended for just undergraduate programs, so basically, your whole argument of "UCLA has higher ranking program than USC" just broke apart.</p>
<p>nice try though.</p>
<p>It is still idiotic to compare one school to another by using only one source, which is known to be very biased, especially against Public Universities. Why must you validate your self-worth by attending a university that has a higher rank than another in a biased survey?</p>
<p>I hope you know that getting a college degree from an esteemed college DOES NOT guarantee you success. Getting a job in the market today, especially with increasing competition, is harder than ever, and if you're lucky, a degree from USC (which I suppose is the school you want to go to, so good luck with that) will only get your foot in the door. You have to sell yourself, and have other qualities that companies look for. </p>
<hr>
<p>Let me give you all potential business majors an anecdote:
My sister graduated from CSUN with a degree in Film. Now for those of you who want to know about competition in the job market, just take a look at the film industry. Anyway, after graduating, she was offered marginal jobs at Disney and Warners as a talent scout. Not wanting to settle for this, she decided to try REAL ESTATE. And guess what? Because she has a sellable and friendly personality and a univesity diploma (even from a non prestigious school) to boot, she was hired immediately. Right now, she is earning A LOT of money (I won't give the excact figure, but it's more than what one should expect to recieve after graduating from college).</p>
<p>Also, in this company that my sister works in, many of her co workers DID NOT EVEN ATTEND UNIVERSITIES and earn anywhere from 500k to 2 million a year. </p>
<p>Now for those of you that are still thinking that college is all that it is about, the boss of the company that my sister works for, who is currently a multi-millionaire with airplanes, boats, you name it, also attended CSUN. A non prestigious state school, probablly not even known outside California, and he is now (probablly) one of the richest men in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>Hey! what is your issue with business majors. LOL Not all of us think alike you know.</p>
<p>Lol sorry for generalizing, but I thought it was a valuable anecdote nonetheless for those of you who are seeking to be rich.</p>
<p>naw.
I'd rather not go to CSUN.</p>
