<p>Hi, I want to major in Business. I am currently completing my college search and I have to choose between USC and UCLA. Which one is better to apply to for Business?</p>
<p>Apply to both, then decide later based on your acceptances.</p>
<p>make a good business decision: which one is less expensive for you because whatever the difference is it isn’t worth it?</p>
<p>UCLA has the slight upper hand in business I believe, but then again USC is getting better. Reckon it comes down to cost and fit, keeping in mind that USC is located in the middle of a ghetto lol </p>
<p>Are you applying for this year? If so, UCLA’s applications have closed.</p>
<p>USC is a comer. UCLA without more state funding is a goner. </p>

<p>Well, that’s a bit extreme.</p>

<p>How long will it take USC to ‘come’ though? How long will it take UCLA to be ‘gone’? The OP needs to base his decisions off what is best for him right now, not on how the universities will compare in 5-10 years.</p>
<p>Trying to decide between the two is like splitting hairs.</p>
<p>When I was going to USC, a common joke/complaint was that we were getting a UCLA education at 3x the price.</p>
<p>Depends on your IQ, your memorization. and of course your wallet.</p>
<p>UCLA = Econ w/ Accounting Minor.
It’s a pre so if your GPA falls below the threshold they will kick you own the program.
It’s impacted so they need to make room for new students.
You are competing with some of the best and smartest UCLA students who chose not to do engineering.
It’s ECONOMIC NOT BUSINESS so except heavy math-calc equations and formulas.
It is much cheaper than USC tho. </p>
<p>USC = Real Business.
It’s a full major so no chance of dropping to another program if you mess up for 1 semester.
Curves and courses are still hard and you are still competing in an overly selective crowd.
It’s real business so your GPA can be inflated by the marketing and management courses.
It’s more expensive than UCLA tho. </p>
<p>If math doesn’t scare you e.g. you can get a 100% in calc relatively easy and/or you are broke then goto UCLA. </p>
<p>“USC is a comer. UCLA without more state funding is a goner”.
UCLA grads please look up hyperbole. </p>
<p>It should be noted that UCLA has a business economics major which is very well received in the Los Angeles, and probably for grad. schools too. USC has a complete business major though. Both schools are super competitive, so you should wait and see first, whether you’re admitted to both, and second, what the financial aid packages look like. That should help you determine which one you’d prefer to attend.</p>
<p>Other factors that complicate things are the competitiveness of the majors. For example, business economics majors constituted 13% of all applicants to UCLA for transfer students. Yet the admit rate for that major was only 12%. And economics isn’t much better, with 8% and 15% respectively.</p>

<p>USC Marshall is a really prestigious business school in the states, so it’s probably great choice for u if you are really serious about studying business.
Honestly I don’t think there’s much differences between USC and UCLA in terms of academics. So you probably should consider want kind of people you want to be around with. USC’s kids are generally richer, considering it’s a private school with higher tuition. </p>
