So I already committed to UCLA but the waitlist just came out today and I got into Berkeley… I current major is undeclared in both schools but I planned to major in economics or something related to business/math. I know Berkeley has a better business program but I heard it’s a lot more pressure. I know studying engineering is really stressful in Berkeley but I don’t really know about business…
I’m okay with pressure but I’m not that smart and I don’t want to be too stressful everyday…Can someone give an idea about how it is to study econ/business in Berkeley?
it’d be hard to say that UCLA Econ is any less stressful than Cal Econ. Ditto Math majors. (A lot will have to do with whichever faculty member’s course you take.)
re: biz. UCLA does not offer undergrad business, but does offer a Biz-Econ major. Cal offers business thru Haas, but you have to apply and transfer in for your Junior year after completing the prereqs.
