<p>Hey everyone, I really need some help here because I have to make a decision
FAST! (PLz I have less than a week to decide)
So which school do you think is better for a BUSINESS major, not only in terms of academics but also as an overall experience (i.e. QUALITY OF LIFE, connections, recruitment after graduation
)?
This is a really difficult decision so I need all the advice I can get!
So what do you think? Or what would you chose?? HAAS, Marshall or McDonough?!
… L.A, Berkeley OR D.C…? (Ok I know u get it…)
Thank you very much. </p>
<p>N.B: i’m sorry, i know i have posted on different forums, but I need all the advice I can get!</p>
<p>Berkeley for sure. Berkeley's Haas Business school totally blows the others away.</p>
<p>AND, it takes a while to find your niche, but once you do, it will feel very involved. More than in any group at Gtown or USC.</p>
<p>I don't know if this helps, but my best friend is choosing Georgetown over Berkeley because Georgetown still has amazing opportunities, it's in Washington DC, and she's lived in California all her life so she wants to experience a completely new environment. Haas might be better, but you can always go to grad school there. Since all those colleges have excellent business programs, I think it comes down to which school you feel most comfortable at and which environment you like the most.</p>
<p>Georgetown has many opportunities and many ways for you to fit in; I visted Georgetown as a GAAP student and was blown away at the friendliness of the students; they began recruiting incoming freshmen as well during GAAP weekend. Going to Georgetown will enrich your life in so many ways, with its people, Jesuit tradition, and proximity to D.C. You won't lose out socially if you attend Georgetown; you will be involved and it is comparable to Berkeley's. </p>
<p>That being said, Georgetown's Business program is not as good as Berkeley's. However, with Berkeley, if you have to apply for admission. If you want a secure way, take Georgetown's McDonough (if money is not a factor). Not to mention D.C. offers many opportunities for business as well.</p>
<p>The networking at Georgetown is great (as is the one at USC). </p>
<p>I faced the decision with Georgetown and Berkeley (for political science). I chose Berkeley in the end, because of the academics and strength in the field, and closeness to home (an hour flight from home).</p>
