<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I am confused as hell. My mom wants me to go to UC Berekely for Economics, but I love the casual atmosphere at UCLA. My dilemma:</p>
<ul>
<li>UCB better than UCLA in economics?</li>
<li>Is it easy to get into Haas school of business?</li>
<li>Environment tense and difficult to make friends at UCB vs UCLA?</li>
<li>More parties at UCLA vx UCB?</li>
</ul>
<p>Any input will be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I think the more important question is where do you see yourself living upon graduation. UCLA will be a better option if you plan on living and working in so cal, and Berkeley if you plan on living and working in no cal. Each school’s connections are strongest in their regional area.
If you don’t care where you live go or plan to work go for the school that fits your personality the best.</p>
<p>Also I think on Berkeley’s website, there are statistics of acceptance rates for Haas applicants. I think students who apply to Haas while at Berkeley have around a 50 percent acceptance rate(if i remember correctly).</p>
<p>
Listen to your mom and make her happy. She is a very wise lady.</p>
<p>
Yes, and Berkeley also offers undergrad business.</p>
<p>
Admit rate is about 50% for enrolled Berkeley students. But Berkeley econ is a fantastic degree…I’d actually prefer an Economics degree to an undergrad Business Administration degree.</p>
<p>
Depends on you. I wouldn’t say one or the other is more difficult in general to make friends. </p>
<p>
Who can say? At Cal, fraternities and sororities are closer together and football is played on-campus…helps the atmosphere on those early fall evenings.</p>
