| its a terrible school, it basically is on the same level as USC, nowhere near berk or stan.
UCLA has no "extordinary" majors, business is like their top and it still sucks balls to berkeley. | |

| Why is everyone bashing UCLA?
I know it is nowhere near berkely but so what? its still a decent school. Sure you wont have the opportunities with the name Berkely or Stanford on your resume, but so what? Some of us aren't concerned only job prospects.
The only reason people choose ucla is the weather and social scene, that is what makes UCLA better.
If you were talking about soley academics, then yes, I agree, berkely is better. | |

| Mojo what program in cornell? UCLA is the most unprestigious of the bunch, why did u choose it. I'm into banking, thus my choice of Wharton but I was also accepted at Amherst (top notch ibanking ops).
I agree though with the majority of the posters, UCLA is mediocre. It is not even one of the top 3 universites in it's state. | |

| Wharton, i initially got into CAS, but i switched it to ILR.
I am really scared of leaving my home, thats why i made my decision like that. Sometimes i feel like it was irrational, and i should have given these other (more prestigious) schools a chance.
ps. why didnt u go to amherst? | |

| The only reason I didn't go to Amherst was that Wharton is the #1 undergraduate bschool in the country and the career opps are the best. If I didn't get in there, I would have easily gone to Amherst, top notch school, with top notch opps. | |

| Not at all, the benefits of the education and career opportunities outweigh the disadvantages of physical location, IMO. Besides, it is only for 2 years.
What major at amherst did u get accepted for? Econ? | |

| To add to this, if you're graduating in the next couple years, you're gonna have to come from a wharton/yale/harvard/princeton if you want a good chance at getting an IB gig. Last year one particular BB hired 150+ analysts, back in 2000 they hired 14.... | |
