URGENT: UCLA ECON VS BERKELEY ECON (NOT HAAS)

Hi all, I am transferring from a CC into either UCLA ECON or Berkeley Econ and I am at a complete split in the road. I would like to be in the IB / PE field following my graduation. I have literally no preference regarding location / lifestyle / etc, its all the same to me. I am completely career driven in my next school. Thank you so much guys

Are you a rising sophomore or junior? I would lean more towards UCLA if ur a rising sophomore as the alumni network + IB programs seems to be more accessible compared to non Haas Berkeley. Im not that familiar if there is a difference between the two if ur a rising junior.
