<p>I like many of you have come to a fork...</p>
<p>I got into UC Berkeley for my major of Pre-business on the pathway to Haas business school hopefully (most ppl from this major get in right?)</p>
<p>I also got into McCombs at UT austin as i am a texas resident</p>
<p>i wanna pursue finance or marketing but still not sure</p>
<p>but i am torn between the two..what are the pros and cons of each ie, academics, sports, lifestyle, girls, housing. etc.. LEMME KNOW!</p>
<p>Cal. leave Texas.
UT Austin is rank 47
Berkeley is rank 21 <a href="http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/t1natudoc_brief.php%5B/url%5D">http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/t1natudoc_brief.php</a></p>
<p>Hm, this is actually very difficult since you are accepted into McCombs, a fine business school. There is no guarantee you will get into Haas. The acceptance rate of those who apply is around 50%, but most of those entering as freshman who want to go to Haas don't bother applying because they have terrible GPAs in Haas' prerequisite classes (Math, Econ, Stat, UGBA 10).</p>
<p>Where in Texas are you from? It matters because unless you are from urban Texas both UT & Cal will be much different than what you're used to.</p>
<p>unless you are rich, UT is a no-brainer in-state. At $40k+ for OOS, the UCs are mighty expensive.</p>
