<p>Hello there! I’ve basically decided that I would like to go into finance and accounting or business administration. Like many others in this forum, I’m a Wharton rejectee and so I’m faced with taking an econ degree from
Northwestern or taking a business degree from either a big and competitive school like Berkeley (works same as UMich, juniors apply for business school) or Georgetown (lowwwww ranking in US news).</p>
<p>The problem lies with an econ degree. Although there are several courses in finance and accounting, they all seem very theory based. the business schools, on the other hand, have about 10 courses on finance and accounting.</p>
<p>However, I’m not guaranteed a place in the business school at Haas.</p>
<p>Any opinions?</p>
<p>if you got really good grades in HS, i would go with berkeley.
i think Northwestern is better if you want a balanced life. facilities and grading are probably nicer.</p>
<p>facilities and life at berkeley..great
the campus is beautiful
and everyhting is world class</p>

<p>I'd say you should go with UMich or Northwestern.</p>
<p>if you go to berkeley and get rejected from Haas, you could major in econ at L&S, no?</p>
<p>yes, but i heard econ is impacted as well, so its possible to be "rejected" from both</p>
<p>cleverthinkin, you made it to berkeley and northwestern. you have a work ethic. if you just step it up some more after high school, you will make it. you're smart; if you push yourself more you will make it :)</p>
