I picked Marshall/Leventhal over UCLA Biz/Econ and I don’t regret it for a second! I LOVE USC.

Leventhal was a UCLA alum until UCLA stopped offering their accounting major… look where he is now :)

If you are the least bit interested in accounting, Leventhal can’t be beat. It has been consistently ranked in the top 5 accounting schools… you WILL have firms competing to recruit you PERIOD if you graduate from Leventhal. Some of my friends have received internships after 1 semester at USC.

Investment banks are not for everyone… I went to two goldman sachs events yesterday… its a good firm since there are so many different places for different people to be. But if you just aim to work in the investment bank division, have fun working 18 hour days (i’m not kidding!)

Good luck! Btw My friend also got into Cal Haas and let’s just say he doesn’t enjoy it ;~)
