Choosing a school
Which is better for placement in SF/LA? Also, is NYC even feasible with these schools?
I’m majoring in economics

I go to one of these and landed at a west coast BB. I'd say both are pretty on par in terms of recruiting/network - it's going to take a lot of effort and networking from either. My advice is to go to the school you think you will enjoy more
NYC is possible but is way harder. My recommendation is focusing on the west coast
Either way it is on you to be proactive about recruiting. For UCSB, very important to get involved with the right clubs and keep GPA high. In the event you don’t land banking, B4 has a strong presence at UCSB so would be good to add accounting to your major.
