Ucla v UCB (business/econ oriented)

<p>Hello everyone.. I am a high school senior who has been accepted at UCLA and Berkeley. Im currently trying to decide what's best for me. Here's a bit about me:</p>

<p>I've always lived by the beach and love the sun
I plan on majoring in either business/economics and then getting an MBA
Almost my entire family has been to UCLA so naturally they want me to go there, but I'm prepared to decided for myself
I like to have fun</p>

<p>I'm afraid if I go to ucla I will be missing out on opportunities in the business world because my undergrad would be pre business/ economics. I also want a job out of college to help put myself on the path to an mba likely at either ucla or ucb (whichever I end up going to), so getting a job out of college is important. But if I go to UCB I feel like i'd miss out on having a well rounded experience. If Berkeley wasn't ranked higher in both econ and business (undergrad) this would be an easy decision.</p>

<p>I am visitting ucb next week for a day but the tour wont give me the whole feeling of the college so im coming here. Thanks in advance for the info!</p>

<p>As undergrad institution is important to the employer when employing, your GPA and your degree level is more important. If you find yourself in a school where you are happy, you are more likely to do well and stay motivated to achieve a higher degree. </p>

<p>For me, I would see UCB (for me, if i was choose for ME) because I am a city girl, and I can’t stand hot weather. Also, UCB has convenient transportation, etc. </p>

<p>UCB and UCLA are both the top UC’s. Choose where you think you will be happy for the next four years of your life. I hope your realize that the MBA is the new Business BA.</p>

<p>How far apart are the rankings between UCLA and UCB? If they are only a few positions apart, then the difference should be miniscule.</p>
