<p>Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice on which school to choose. </p>
<p>First of all, I want to study business, and I understand Berkeley has the better business program. I'm almost positive I want to study business, but not 100% sure.</p>
<p>UCLA's environment appeals to me more. Both are elite schools, but should I ultimately choose Berkeley because of its business superiority?</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice!</p>
<p>Berkeley. Haas is amazing!</p>
<p>Nuff said.</p>
<p>UCLA doesn't even have undergrad business, so Berkeley.</p>
<p>But Haas is pretty damn hard to get into..so what if I don't get in? Is that a risk i should be willing to take?</p>
<p>Haas seems good and all, but there are way too many intelligent individuals trying to get into a major that accepts 50% of applicants. When you take UGBA 10, you will quickly learn to hate everyone and keep every creative idea to yourself.</p>
<p>If UCLA environment appeals to you more, I'd go to UCLA. Berkeley is Berkeley.</p>
<p>hmmm but is environment more important than education?</p>
<p>yeah if you prefer UCLA's environment, then go to UCLA. you don't want to be miserable do you?</p>
<p>well i'm not saying berkeley is going to be miserable..i'm just saying ucla is preferred.</p>
<p>Berkeley and UCLA are going to give you comparable educations. If you really want to study business at the undergraduate level, you want a business major, then only Berkeley offers that. If that is very important to you, then go to Berkeley, study really hard, and try to get into Haas. However, an economics major or whatever at UCLA should open up, long term, just as many opportunities.</p>
<p>UCLA Biz/Econ is as tough to get into and <em>stay</em> in as Haas. UCLA is not rated because it is not an official "business school". Cornell's isn't either, but somehow they got it recognized by USNWR... :)</p>
<p>Recruiters know how good the UCLA Biz/Econ grads are. That's all that matters. They know that half of those that start don't maintain the standard and shift down to another econ major.</p>
<p>Where do you want to develop your career... Socal? NorCal? East Coast? UCLA would be my choice for the first, Berkeley for the other two..</p>
<p>I'd choose Berkeley because you'd have an opportunity to get into Haas. And even if you don't get into Haas, Berkeley Econ is still amazing. But UCLA wouldn't be a bad alternative. I've heard it's Biz/Econ is just as amazing as Cal's econ program.</p>
<p>I am a transfer and got directly into Haas and UCLA Business Econ. I prefer UCLA because it gives you a blend of business (accounting) and economics, Haas gives you a general business admin education. If you look at the courses haas offers compared to UCLA with the accounting minor, its fairly identical. These schools are close enough to where you can pick based on which half of cali you like best. You just have all these people jumping on the Haas Bandwagon because Business Week has them ranked higher. If this is what you base your decisions off of then please do not do business…try poli sci</p>
<p>Just apply to both schools then decide later.</p>
<p>^ that. You may find that you don’t have this choice.</p>
<p>If you do get into both and you strongly prefer the environment at one of them, that’s the one you should go with.</p>
<p>ya wait until you get accepted before you act like father king of choice</p>
