UT Mccombs vs Berkeley Haas
Hey guys,
I got accepted into Mccombs (in state), non BHP. I also applied to Berkeley's Global Management Program (direct Haas admit), but was accepted as a College of Letters and Science admit, where I would have to apply to Haas during the fall of my sophomore year (30% acceptance rate). I would like to try and get a job in investment banking or consulting. Is it worth the risk of not getting into Haas, or should I stay instate at Mccombs? How hard is it to get in Haas after 2 years? Cost isn't a major factor.
Mccombs Pros:
Instate close to home
Already admitted into business school
More of a fun school
Berkeley Pros:
Could get into Haas (known worldwide)
Better job opportunities
Program is great if accepted to Haas
Go to McCombs places basically as good an the in-state ROI is insane.
Good joke. Damn Mccombs kids are the same as Unc kids when inflating their brand.
It's good, but Berkeley good? Dont think so
Haas student here. I faced a similar dilemma when I was a senior. When you first come here, people tend to think it's Haas or bust, but you'll quickly see that's not the case at all. Plenty of Econ majors get jobs at top tier firms for both IB and consulting. Just browse Linkedin for a bit, and you'll see. Anyone from Cal would also agree. Beyond that, Berkeley is a much bigger, international name than UT. I'd say go with Berk.
