<p>Im am planning on hopefully getting into one of these schools. My gpa isnt too great, but if I bust my ass over the next year, I think I can make it happen.
anyway,
My question is, if I am planning on getting a good paying job, that will also lead to good experience for being admitted to a top MBA program, what would you guys recommend? Im just looking for opinions. I mean, I know that ucsd is more renowned, however I have heard that USD's alumni network is amazing, and the small classes would be a benefit for me as far as retaining what I have learned. </p>

<p>I am thinking USD: Bus. Admin or finance, possibly a double major with something else.
or
UCSD: Management science or possible joint Math-econ</p>

<p>I would just like some input on what your experience or opinions are on which school/ major will lead to better opportunities. I know this is sort of comparing apples to oranges, but any input is appreciated.
Thank you.</p>

<p>Ok, Im probably being to broad...
Lets just say:
USD business administration Versus UCSD management science......</p>

<p>Is the price of tuition a factor and what type of careers are you interested in after college?</p>

4

<p>Cost of tuition is somewhat of a factor.... After college Im interested in consulting, investment, and eventually starting something up on my own, if I cant work my way up to the higher ranks of a company. I would like to eventually go to USC for an MBA. Maybe even Columbia, or wharton because I have alot of family history at those, especially upenn, and that might help.</p>

<p>I recommend UCSD because it's more prestigious and possibly less expensive. However, if you want to get a CPA you will need to take some extension classes to complement your major because I do not believe UCSD has enough accounting classes.</p>

<p>If you get a good GPA at UCSD and decent work experience then you have a good chance at Wharton, Columbia or Marshall. Why are you already planning on obtaining an MBA from USC Marshall? UCLA Anderson is the best business school in Southern California.</p>

<p>I really like usc.....
and Im just trying to put a plan together
thanks for the help</p>

<p>I would definitely go to USD over UCSD if you know that you want to major in Business. Let me tell you that it is much easier to get a job (at least in San Diego) with a business degree from USD than whatever business related degrees UCSD offers.</p>

<p>Sweet, that sounds legit. If I go to USD, I think I am going to double major in business finance and economics. Thanks for the input.....</p>
