Schools: USC Marshall vs UCBerkley
Major: Business/possibly accounting/finance/something to do w environment
Similarities:

  • both at top of field
  • both make lists for Wall Street investment banking, entrepreneurship and more
  • both in california
#

USC Marshall
Pros:

  • prefer LA over SF
  • more “fun” while still being good
  • more social scene (what I’ve heard)
  • probably easier to be closer to top of class
  • I love cinematic arts and would love to take classes at SCA
  • already submitted housing app and guaranteed one of top two choices
  • amazing sports facitilies
  • decent Jewish life
  • Highly ranked for accounting and 5 year accounting program
    Cons:
  • university of spoiled children
  • not as highly ranked as Berkley
  • the Marshall curve
#

UCBerkley
Pros:

  • VERY highly ranked in finance, IB, entrepreneurship
  • literally only the rank
  • networking?
  • recruitment
  • does some joint stuff with Stanford

Cons:

  • have heard about a lot of antisemitism
  • didn’t like SF that much
  • depressing (appaz)
  • intense work environment (appaz)
  • no social life? (Appaz)
  • not guaranteed to get into Haas

Tiebreaking considerations:

  • if I just knew more about life at Cal without a biased opinion from students who just want to complain about their school
  • I would like flexibility in my education
  • I’m lucky that price is not an issue at hand
  • I would like to live/work in NYC after college
    (Pls also give other pros/cons to add)

Dude I just want to consider the other factors. Not price, ik america is expensive, im coming from two countries one thats 9k a year and one that has free university, so I know what I’m getting into. I would just like to make this decision based on other aspects. Price for Berk is 70k as well which is also high af
