Political Economy Berkeley or UCLA Econ (both transfer)

UC Berkeley would likely give you more options for IB, but you'd have to take some of the accounting and finance courses and network more than usual given your atypical background / major.

Tough call. UCLA will be a more "clear-cut" path because you will line up with the rest of econ students....UCLA typically places around 40-60 kids a year with about a 1/3 in LA, 1/3 in SF, 1/3 in NY. Berkeley is MUCH better for SF recruiting but comparable in Los Angeles. I can't speak to political economy but you should be aware the Haas kids get all the look first then everyone else gets seconds......I'd personally recommend UCLA just because its more of a precedent track than coming from political economy at Berkeley...congrats on both schools though and good luck!
