Given Berkeley’s reputation, I think it’d be really hard to say if I’m in the top 10% of econ majors(probably not). Guessing somewhat conservatively, I could only say that I’m in the top 50%, if that makes any sense.
I’m haven’t decided on the balance between quant and qualitative econ courses I’d take. Berkeley doesn’t offer a business minor, but the econ major doesn’t have a lot of requirements so I can take a few courses through Haas if space permits(I wouldn’t have priority). On the subject of internships, I know that at berkeley, the proximity to SF opens up a lot of options for internships even during the school year(someone was just telling me about search funds in SF relying mainly on college labor). Do you know if there are not necessarily similar, but comparable opportunities through Kelley?
