Hello fellow monkeys. A few weeks ago I was admitted, and have now formally accepted my transfer admission from a community college into UCLA's Business Economics program for this fall. I've started thumbing through the catalog of courses for my major (and a potential minor in accounting) and highlighting what finance course I should focus on getting into.
I really just wanted to put this out there and see what UCLA and their Biz Econ program's standing is in the finance community. I do know that they have on campus recruiting for the LA and surrounding areas, but how well does UCLA look in the eyes of NY & SF? How does UCLA's recruiting process and "prestige" differ from something like Berkeley's Haas?
Solid target. Congrats.
Haas is more favorably looked upon but people do get into BBs from biz Econ in non-SoCal area. good job on transferring to UCLA! hopefully you can secure a summer internship. that's key n
Congrats. UCLA is definitely a target school.
Does anyone have solid numbers on UCLA recruitment?
It really irks me when people say "this school is a target for X bank" when they send like one kid per year to that BB.
Sorry, I don't have numbers for this but "target" just means that banks have OCR for the school.
I'd say the # of people that went into BB from my class is in the teens, if that.
Thanks everyone. I know that although I'm at a decent target, the real work has yet to begin
