<p>The acceptance rate at Haas is not really 6% (It’s around 20-25 for qualified applicants). And I don’t know where you’re getting the 40% figure for econ.</p>
<p>Haas looks at leadership and work experience very closely. Go for Haas. The econ majors are generally seen as ‘Haas-rejects’ and don’t get the same type of OCR/networking as Haas students. Berkeley will tell you they get the same treatment, and to a certain degree they do, but in reality if you go econ, you’re competing against Haas students for a lot of jobs.</p>
