UCLA Bussiness Econ vs. UCLA Math/Econ

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

I was just recently accepted into UCLA (congrats to everyone else in the Class of 2021) and I have a few questions about the different econ. major tracks. I’m looking to focus on finance and work in an IB, VC, or a hedge fund. I’m currently in Pre-Business Econ.

  1. Which of the two are more respected by recruiters (financial firms)? Does UCLA econ. have a good reputation?
  2. What is the level of competition like?
  3. I heard that there is some level of dislike towards kids who pursue social sciences in UCLA, is this true?
  4. Are there any tips / insight you could give me and other students in my position about these majors?

Thanks and Go Bruins!
