<p>I'm a transfer student that has been accepted into both UCB for Economics and USC Marshall for Business Administration. </p>
<p>It took Marshall until 2 says ago to get back to me with the admission so naturally I was leaning toward Cal and I even put in my SIR there. Now that I got into Marshall I'm having second thoughts.</p>
<p>I would like a career in business: banking, finance, consulting, etc.</p>
<p>Since at Berkeley I am majoring in Econ and not Bus. Admin. (Haas), would I be at a total disadvantage competing with Haas students for internships and positions?</p>
<p>The other side of the coin is USC Marshall, where I would undoubtedly get a good business education but pay $10,000 more a year (which I would have to finance in loans). Also, unlike Berkeley I do not know what courses they would accept from my community college. There's no assist.org for private schools.</p>

<p>where do you ultimately want to work? bay area? LA? someplace else?</p>
<p>Will you be returning to Georgia for your career after graduation? USC has a large alumni group in the greater Atlanta area. </p>
<p>Use the search function as there have been many threads about USC vs. Berkeley. Be aware of the budget cuts which have affected the Univ. of California system. You can access a N.Y. Times article from Oct. 26, 2009 which lists how the cuts are affecting both UCLA and Cal. The title of the article is “At Public Universities Less for More”.</p>

<p>I’m not too sure where I would like to work as I’ve never lived anywhere else but So. Cal.</p>
<p>From your moniker I thought you were a fellow Georgian.</p>
<p>Since you live in the southern California area here are two phone numbers for the Marshall School: 213 740 8885 and 800 352 5719 . A staff member should be able to answer questions about your courses if you are not able to determine this from the articulation agreement.</p>
