I realize that many of not all the answers to this post will be no but I am just wondering. I am currently deciding between Cal and UCLA for business and yes, I do realize UCLA has no business program. I do want to acquire an MBA later on so by no means will I be stoping with a undergraduate degree. However, do anyone of you ever regret having chosen UCLA for business instead of Cal? I do realize Cal has more people recruiting because they are ranked higher and well they do have a business school, but do you guys feel like choosing LA was a major mistake?
A mistake as in UCLA did not prepare you enough for life outside of college, a low salary(as compared to a Haas degree), not able to obtain a close relation w/ one’s teachers because of the large class size.
Also I realize many people that the type of job obtained after UCLA is mostly accounting. I do hope this is not true as I do not want to be an accountant.
So basically I want to know as my major question… is it really possible to make big bucks w/ just an UCLA degree as compared to a Haas degree.
P.S. I have visited both campuses and I do live in the LA area.
<p>in terms of school ranks, of course, Cal is better. HAAS is crazy for buisness but i hear its lik pretty hardcore. LA doesnt have an undergrad buisness major but they are GOOD for econ. Another thing is if u want to compare HAAS u have to compare it to Anderson, UCLA school of buisness. Anderson is not far behind HAAS in rankings. You can make money comming from both. At this point i would say go to the school you would enjoy better.</p>
