<p>Apart from the monetary benefits and social events, Regents scholars live a life like most other college kids. Getting a lab research position is something that you’ll have to do on your own (ie, you’re not going to be presented with a list of professors and labs saying “pick me!”). I would daresay that the lab professor would be more impressed with high grades in your coursework and labs rather than a single scholarship. After all, the scholarship is reflective of high school (not college!) achievement.</p>

<p>As for outside internships, many are unfamiliar with the Regents scholarship, especially the majority of people who hail from outside the UC system. I had bosses from Cambridge and Trinity College; I’m sure they could care less if I had a scholarship to my name, they’d just want to know I could handle the work.</p>

<p>you get priority registration which is bomb</p>

143

<p>which school would be ideal for an economics major?</p>

144

<p>^^^^^</p>

<p>Well that would have to be the School (actually Division) of Social Sciences and more specifically the Department of Economics. </p>

<p>If you were referring to the colleges, which I’m sure you were, then go look at the hundreds of other threads on the topic.</p>

<p>Hi, I was wondering if transfer students could achieve cum laude?</p>

<p>Astrina could you send me a pm of a copy as well?</p>

<p>Hey I know you said an Econ major got into i banking in NY. Was he an undergrad, or a graduate econ major? If the latter, then what did he major in as an undergrad. </p>

<p>And how good is the recruiting at UCSD? Do more Econ majors get job offers as opposed to management science students since its not yet accredited(?).</p>

<p>Most people who go into iBanking either have a background in Finance/FA or have an MBA. It is very rare to see anyone outside of UPenn, Berkeley, or other big B-school to get into iBanking straight out of undergrad.</p>

<p>Majors as undergrad doesn’t really affect your marketability to Business schools as they look for ability to learn and thrive. That’s why you hear of a lot of engineers with no background in business or finance get into top B-schools.</p>

<p>UCSD is recruited, but isn’t farmed as much as other top schools. We’re on the map for some employers, but we don’t get visited by a lot of the top banking firms (Big 5 being Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Bros., and JP Morgan). However, those companies are already too selective and usually hire recent Wharton, Haas, and Stern grads with ease.</p>

<p>The different majors in the Econ dept. all get the same career newsletters, so there’s no variance in opportunities given by UCSD. A lot of newsletters, however, do give preference to Math/Econ majors or those with 3.5+ GPAs.</p>

<p>did you ever develop triton eye?</p>
