<p>I know Michigan's Ross is an excellent school with really good campus recruiting. But for other reasons, I vastly prefer UCLA right now. Does anyone know what UCLA's campus recruiting is like at the undergraduate level if I major in Business/Econ? There's no information on their website at all, unlike Michigan. I've tried emailing but no response yet :( </p>
<p>Why did you even mention Michigan if you want to go to UCLA? </p>

<p>Tells you something doesn’t it. What are the reasons you vastly prefer UCLA?</p>
<p>I mentioned Michigan because I’m deciding between the two. My point is, I know Ross is excellent so I’m wondering if UCLA has a similar standard of on-campus recruiting. Do you have any specific information about UCLA?</p>
<p>And the reasons I vastly prefer UCLA right now is because more people I know will be there, as well as geographically. </p>
<p>I assume you have been accepted by both schools. Are you a pre-admit to Ross? Where do you live? </p>
<p>A Michigan degree might be better if you’re looking to work in the east coast whereas a UCLA degree would be better if you’d like to work in the west coast.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, UCLA doesn’t collect detailed statistics on its econ majors. And while I know someone who majored in Business Economics, his situation is a bit complicated as he needs a visa from his employer. The econ. department does say that most of its alumni are in business and graduate programs, which I’d probably believe.</p>
<p>If you do decide to go to UCLA, make sure to look into Bruins Consulting as an undergraduate. They have a fairly good record of getting their students into good employers / programs (I’d agree not as good as Michigan, but BC is only 7 years old!)</p>

<p>“A Michigan degree might be better if you’re looking to work in the east coast whereas a UCLA degree would be better if you’d like to work in the west coast.”</p>
<p>I have to disagree. A Ross degree would at east equal a UCLA/econ degree even on the west coast. Ross has a national reputation. It is well received throughout the country. </p>
<p>Cal has a nice survey at <a href=“https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Major.stm”>https://career.berkeley.edu/Major/Major.stm</a> Cal is not UCLA but there is probably a lot of overlap in who recruits and what students end up doing. </p>
<p>UCLA will have a superior reputation on the West Coast-Ross isn’t Harvard to be well known throughout the country like that.</p>
<p>UCLA simply doesn’t offer a BBA. Cal and Michigan do. USC/Marshall would be more comparable. Ross is known throughout the country to those who matter. </p>
<p>The same can be said for Georgetown McDonough, NYU Stern, MIT Sloan, BC Carroll, UCB Haas, USC Marshall, UT McCombs, etc. What’s your point rjkofnovi?</p>
<p>“The same can be said for Georgetown McDonough, NYU Stern, MIT Sloan, BC Carroll, UCB Haas, USC Marshall, UT McCombs, etc.”</p>
<p>Yes, they all have business schools, but not all of them are stellar. GU, NYU, MIT, Hass, are all top ten. Marshall is in southern california and has a strong pull there of course. </p>
<p>Thanks for the information! Tough choice… :(</p>

<p>I meant to say ‘might be better’ as opposed to ‘would be.’ I think it’s pretty obvious that that’s the case. Some employers will respect a UCLA degree (slightly) more than they will a Michigan degree given the regional nature of prestige. Now, how UCLA and Michigan do against Stanford/Haas/Marshall I can’t quite say.</p>
