<p>Well, the title kinda does not make any sense because you really can’t compare two things are not even related. However, that is how my situation is. Well, i’m interested in bth comm. and biz. i’m planning on applying to UCB and UCLA this upcoming fall. For biz i finished all the breath requirement, but haven’t even touched on the prereq but turns out it’s only 6 more classes. 6 classes do not seem to hard to me. But, in the eyes of the adm ppl, would i be at a disadvantage because i did not even touch on that? Well, i called the admissions office and the lady said i won’t be at a disadvantage as long as i finish them by spring. But, are they being honest? So i’ll be able to finish all the prereq by spring both for LA and Berkeley. Now, the more complicated question is… when it comes to my essay? What the hell do i do?</p>
<p>Okay part2…
and what am I supposed to be doing as far as building up my resume?</p>
<p>I’m a student gov senator… running for director of finance for the moment
4.0 and i work 25 hours per week as a private institution tutor…i’m planning on doing an internship at a law firm cuz i wanna become a corporate lawyer…
i’m doing AGS also… anything else i should be doing?
plz those who got into Haas already, give me some advice</p>
<p>your all over the place with your goals. </p>
<p>business, communications, law… your undergrad degree needs to be more refined.</p>
<p>You have to finish your preqs by spring- it will not put you at a disadvantage as long as you finish them- if for some reason you decide to drop a class though you will be rejected by HAAS for not completing the preqs.</p>
<p>I dont think your strong enough for HAAS with the things you mentioned, your focus is not on business. People going to HAAS want to go into the corporate world - or want to have their own businesses. Your goals do not seem in line with that.</p>
<p>Your essay would have to somehow focus on both majors.</p>
<p>There is no need for an undergrad business degree if your goal is lawyer.</p>
<p>dont apply to both schools with their most competitive respective majors… thats just… stupid, unless ur way over the top with both. </p>
<p>best case scenario: you get into both then post here again asking what you should do… b/c u wanna become a corporate lawyer… yatta yatta yatta…</p>
<p>worst case scenario: you don’t get into any of them and u have to settle for something less… and come here asking if biz/econ is better at so and so or if comm is better at so and so… and where you should go to become a corporate lawyer… yatta yatta yatta…</p>
<p>either way ur gonna be in quite the pickle…</p>
<p>btw. corporate law doesnt require someone to be a business or econ major to my knowledge, albeit it will help. so you can be a Mass Comm major go to law school after that and still be a corporate lawyer…</p>
