UCLA
School 1 Pros:

  • Best campus in the world imo
  • Amazing food
  • SoCal is great, beach is fun, LA has so much to do
  • Westwood is super nice
  • 14th best econ school
  • More applicants than UCB, could be overtaking?

School 1 Cons:

  • Business and econ are lackluster, not as good of recruiting for banking and consulting and tech
  • No ug B school for connections
  • Less prestigious on east coast and worldwide

Berkeley
School 2 Pros:

  • 1st in econ(tied)
  • Great for consulting and banking
  • Bay area, internships and tech jobs handed to you

School 2 Cons:

  • Depressing
  • Bad dorms
  • Bad food
  • Lackluster school spirit, sports and girls
  • Close to home

Tiebreaking considerations:

  • How much does berkeleys better outcomes outweigh better social life at UCLA?
  • Can i go to UCLA and have the same career as Berkeley?
