<p>??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????</p>
<p>Depends what your looking for.</p>
<p>i got into marshall (USC) and economics (UCLA) and i’ve asked people about it, and people have been giving me mixed responses… but i’m leaning towards marshall</p>
<p>I’m in the same position too eklee311!</p>
<p>I was admitted to UCLA Biz/Econ and Marshall/Leventhal (and chose USC). What do you guys want to know?</p>
<p>I was in the same boat as moss when I transferred. Went with USC because of Marshall/Leventhal and the stronger business/accounting undergraduate program.</p>
<p>I’m trying to decide between USC, ucla, n nyu for Econ as well. How do the three schools compare in terms of reputation? Is there a disadvantage for people goin to cas instead of Marshall in terms of internships n stuff? How difficult is it to transfer from cas to Marshall?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I’d love to hear the answer to this one as well. Which college is better for Econ?</p>
<p>NYU has the best econ program followed by ucla, then usc. That being said what you plan to do after graduation should be considered a factor in your decision. You plan to do a masters/phd or go onto law school? If you are considering Marshall it sounds like you are maybe interested in doing business as a major instead. It is challenging to get into Marshall through internal transfer from Econ(this seems to be common) but not as challenging going from NYU CAS to Stern.</p>
<p>My attempted un-biased opinion: I think if I wanted to work on the east coast or wall street then I’d go with NYU. If I wanted to work in LA/SF I’d go with USC and try to get into Marshall. If I was concerned about cost and planning on doing masters/phd in econ or law school and a CA resident, I’d go with ucla since it would probably be cheaper and you’d need to worry about graduate school debt later on. </p>
<p>Marshall/Leventhal have the best support for internships and job recruiting on campus. All the Investment Banks/hedge funds and Big4 accounting firms recruit through them for LA/SD/SF as well as elsewhere. I hope this helps but I could give a better answer with more info on your career/post-grad plans.</p>
<p>If you’re leaning toward business, USC Marshall is your best bet over UCLA for undergrad. I can’t speak for NYU as I don’t know enough about their Econ v Business major. I had to make the same decision many years ago between USC and UCLA. UCLA has an excellent MBA program but USC is far superior for undergraduate business. My husband received his degree in ECON after attending a UC and ended up having to go back to school to take more business classes to sit the CPA exam. You may not be considering accounting as a major/emphasis but if there’s any chance you might be USC’s Levanthal School of Accounting can’t be beat (compared to UCLA). If you’re considering Finance as your emphasis/major then Marshall is still an outstanding choice as it also allows you the choice to take accounting classes that UCLA does not offer in case you may ever want to consider accounting as an option.</p>
<p>i’m also in the same boat as eklee - accepted to marshall and ucla business economics. thanks for the input guys. I’m leaning towards marshall as well. fight on and fiat lux!</p>
<p>S was in the same boat three years ago adding Cal into the equation. He chose USC even though it was more $$ out of pocket for us. A couple smallish scholarships and an invitation to the Global Leadership Program clinched the decision. He’s double majoring in Business Finance (Marshall) and Accounting (Leventhal), will easily graduate in four years, and has had amazing opportunities both on and off campus. Go to both admitted students days. He has friends in the business econ program at UCLA. They’re happy there, but one parent told me we made the right decision…</p>
<p>I had the same problem of USC v UCLA v Berkeley. But in recent years, since the UCs are not getting enough funding, its hard to get the classes you want and the class sizes are huge. The USC alum system is also incredible and all 1st year Marshall students get to study abroad in programs like GLP and Linc so I chose Marshall :))</p>
