<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I am still struglling with the choices after checking out all the information I could find.
I got 21K Scholarship from Cal and non from Stern. I am aware of the thing about having to appy again to get into Haas as well as the campus differences etc. I wonder how Haas students view these two schools in terms of study environment, prestige/pride, and career prospects. Consulting or IBD/finance/banking are among my future career interests.</p>

<p>Help me make a choice, please! :)</p>

<p>You should be able to find career prospects at each respective school’s websites. In terms of prestige, both are similarly ranked, although Haas is slightly ahead (#2 vs #5 by US News). Berkeley will give you a more typical college experience with a defined campus and big time sports teams. Scholarship money from Cal is quite significant as well. $21k is a lot of money. Tough choice. I’m sure you’ll do well at either school.</p>

Stern’s ranked higher than Haas on here.</p>

<p>^ Businessweek’s rankings are laughable. Notre Dame, UVA and Boston College above Wharton? Mmmkay…</p>

<p>Thanks! Another question:
Is it possible(or little chance?) to apply to Haas in my first Fall semester and get in? I will have 32 creits transferred in and a total of 60+ credits by the end of the first Spring semester and I can get econ prerequisites & Math 1A waived. It’s kinda important to me because if I wait until the second fall to apply, I will have trouble deciding on what courses (Haas courses or L&S econ courses) to take in my second year without knowing which school I will be attending.</p>

<p>“I got 21K Scholarship from Cal and non from Stern.” It’s obvious why you should go to Berkeley. MONEY!</p>
