Well my friend is a very extroverted guy. I guess when he got to Haas, everyone there wasn’t all that fun to hang with. But then, it is Haas.

Actually I just think he misses the sunny southern California weather… :)

I don’t think it matters as much if your Econ or Biz/Econ at UCLA. If you want to work at an Ibank, GPA is key, EC’s are secondary. You better study your complete ass off and stay in the 3.6+ range to be competitive. Also if you do decide to go to UCLA, do the accounting minor as well.

Ibanks look for overachievers, so make sure you get a part-time job, do all the EC’s you can possibly do, direct projects, etc. Basically work your complete ass off because thats the type of expectation that Ibanks have for their employees.
