<p>i know berkeley is an excellent business school, can you name a few that is comparable with berkeley in california? thanks</p>
<p>stanford i guess</p>
<p>USC is good if you're staying in SoCal.</p>
<p>And Stanford...I suppose =P</p>
<p>Undergrad - Berkeley.
MBA - Stanford.</p>
<p>Undergraduate:</p>
<p>Tier 1: Berkeley and USC
Tier 2: Pepperdine and Santa Clara
Tier 3: San Diego State, Univ. of San Diego, UC Riverside, Loyola Marymount
Tier 4: St. Mary's, Univ. of San Francisco, Cal Poly, CSU Long Beach, Redlands, Chapman, etc.</p>
<p>berkeley/usc</p>
<p>is usc a little easier to get in than berkeley?</p>
<p>It is a bit easier on the whole, though for b-school, perhaps not. I know that for Berkeley, it doesn't matter whether you're applying for Haas as a freshman.</p>
<p>^ You don't apply for Haas until spring semester of sophomore year.</p>
<p>And I think the two schools are pretty comparable in selectivity (Berkeley a little tougher).</p>
<p>Yeah, agreed. They're comparable, though have different emphases.</p>
<p>On a less selective note, I've heard countless good things about LMU. That could be a good safety?</p>
<p>i want to start my own business or take over my parents' small business after i finish the school, and get my mba later on down the road</p>
<p>second opinion on LMC please/?</p>
<p>^ Eh...haven't heard anything spectacular or anything negative.</p>
<p>I like socal18's list for undegraduate, but would move Cal Poly SLO up at least one tier.</p>
<p>Besides Stanford for graduate, there is also UCLA--and USC, of course--plus the others on the undergraduate list. UCI is also starting up a full undergraduate business program this year--and has had a MBA program for awhile now. Lastly, UC Merced has a business program at the undergraduate and graduate level--but it is also new.</p>
