UCB Vs USC for Finance
Help me pick between the two, using reasons/data please! Ive been accepted to both as a transfer, USC for Economics and and Cal for Political Economy. I know that there are other threads on this, but not much on political econ. I worry it will be too far away from HAAS to easily get me where I want to go. I dont have the pre-req done to try to declare anything other than political econ at Cal either.
I want to work in SF, and IB/PE/VC appeal to me.
Also, Im waiting to hear back from Stanford (economics), and i feel like it might be a possibility.
Thanks!
I'd probably give the edge to Berkeley cause you want to be in SF... if you wanted to be LA I'd give the edge to USC.
At both schools it will be an uphill battle. Most recruiting happens 1. in the business schools (haas/marshall/stanford are the primary feeders to finance on west coast) or 2. in selective clubs that you have to join at the latest in the sophomore year. It can definitely be done, 100%, but your route to an offer probably won't take a traditional route.
Stanford is an obvious choice if you get in. But I know stanford doesn't take many transfers so good luck!
What if I switched majors to Marshall at USC?
Might be too late as a transfer.. If you are a sophomore transfer than maybe, if you're a junior transfer.. not so mcuh
You can easily switch out of poliecon to regular Econ. Just take the pre-requisite classes for Econ and declare after your first semester.
I havent done any of the calc classes, which would mean an entire year before being eligible. Id run out of time at Cal. 🙁
Trust me, I really wanted to try that route, but it wasnt in the cards unless I wait another year at CC
Ik people who do poliecon at cal, but a lot of them are athletes or double major in poliecon. Maybe you can try to take Econ classes but you wouldn't have priority. I know someone who is doing poli Econ and he is going to Wells Fargo for IBD.
