<p>Hello,
I am international student admitted to the Red McCombs School of Business at UT and the pre-economics major at UCLA. I am in a bit of a spot here as to which school I should attend?
Both the universities cost about the same for me.
I want to get a PhD in Business administration for finance i.e. I would be going on straight to a graduate school.
Thank you for your responses.</p>
<p>If your planing to get an MBA I don’t think you can go straight to graduate school because you need work experience first.</p>
<p>OP probz wants to be a prof so no MBA is going to be needed. He will probably go straight to PhD. McCombs is better because you can get the math background (UT has a top 10 math program) and the finance background (McCombs).</p>
<p>Thank you for your responses! Can anyone give more insight into the topic?</p>
<p>UCLA and UT are both excellent schools yet I believe UCLA has a bit more name to it around the nation. However, UCLA does not specifically have an undergraduate business program besides economics which is why UT would be more useful to your major because they offer an undergraduate finance program. Plus McCombs consists of students that have a GPA and GMAT score to where they are prepared for graduate school. Are you doing your PhD for citizenship purposes? </p>
