<p>for the person asking for any bio majors accepted to UCLA, I am one.
Physiological sciences major, 3.8 GPA, all pre-reqs done spring semester, IGETC done, no tap offered at my school.</p>
<p>And Verdet I chose (yes chose, already submitted SIR) UCLA over UCB.</p>
<p>i’m not going to contest the refutation any further then this: business schools have a thing against business undergraduate majors, because it’s pretty redundant. any business undergraduate major who goes for an MBA…i dunno, i dont know what they’re doing. but whatever. think about it, the undergraduate program at the school of business at berkeley was modeled after the MBA program. the school isnt going to want a student who already went through thier curriculum. not only does it make common sense, you can look it up for yourself.</p>
<p>Congrats and thanks for your information. </p>
<p>I have heard the bio at UCLA is one of the best.</p>

<p>If they are so against it, how come business majors represent the 2nd biggest group of majors at HAAS graduate school?</p>
<p>Yeah, people don’t apply to MBA programs from UG, but they SHOULD.</p>
<p>Believe me. Better chances. They want to be the reason you were insanely successful, and will therefore donate billions to that school. Also, there just aren’t as many seniors, so you’re competing with a smaller pool.</p>
<p>No Insamniac, they really shouldn’t…because they wont get in!! The only people who get into B-school right out of UG is HYS kids who are like top 3%… it’s nearly unheard of.</p>
<p>im surprised-but the correlation has nothing to do with haas-to-haas ug to mba admissions. that’s what i was referring to specifically.</p>
<p>edit; its stupid to apply to mba programs out of ug, go to the mba board to find out why</p>
<p>Look at any B-school, they all list avg years of work experience, with most being around 4-5. UG—>B-school basically impossible. Please, do some research b4 you go making horrible suggestions to people. Not trying to flame, but some people take what they hear on this site very seriously, and if you dont have good info then dont give info…</p>
<p>Yeah I wasn’t sure if they were searching for “diversity” of students with different backgrounds (such as coming from different schools). I can see how the Work Experience can, and should, play a critical role in selection. </p>
<p>Personally, I am an industrial engineering major- which is the equivilent of a math major with technical background. I want to go for an MBA and combine the two into a hybrid operations analyst/management position which essentially would be the primary purpose of a COO in a company (not that I am saying anyone can just jump into that position or that these two degrees automatically head that direction).</p>
<p>I have heard many stories of people going from different undergrad schools into an MBA program, and this is important because I may want to choose a different school right now- so I can prepare for later.</p>
<p>Sorry for the mistake then zemook, I thought you were referring to all ug –> mba. And honestly, no offense, but if you can get into HAAS MBA you are probably going to get into wharton/kellog/harvard…mix it up and go somewhere else if you got Berk as ur UG :)</p>
<p>
The first thought that pops into my head is Haas, its a real business major.</p>
<p>Still, you need to take a step back and look at both schools. Which school will you be happiest at? What kind of environment do you prefer? Which school do you think you fit in better at? Which town do you like better? Do you want to work in Socal or Norcal after graduation?</p>
<p>Neither Haas graduates nor Business Econ grads from UCLA have a hard time finding a job out of college.</p>
<p>
Not everyone wants to become an investment banker </p>
<p>I know a guy who graduated from UCLAs business econ program (with a minor in accounting) who got a job with Goldman Sacchs in LA.</p>
<p>and Tuck^^^</p>
<p>ya, sorry diamond, forgot about tuck haha…I agree, not everybody wants to do ibanking, it’s just what I feel like I know enough about to actually give advice on…</p>
<p>So isn’t the undergraduate business major market inflated with the amount of people having business (i am not sure if I can put econ under the same title) as their primary major? Wouldn’t it make sense to go an alternate route, for the MBA specifically?</p>
<p>Lax, well, either way, being an undergrad gives you a boost. Maybe the people you’re referring to need some work experience to be impressive candidates, and so for them, applying after a few years working makes more sense. But regardless: being an undergrad gives you a boost. Of course, you could also be a half-black/half-Native American lesbian, but we can’t win 'em all…</p>
<p>does the language requirement within the UCLA College apply to transfers as well? if so, that really sucks…</p>
<p>No, being an undergrad does not give you a boost. It’s not like theirs some quota you have to fill where x percent has to come from UG…?? It’s like saying “I only went to community college, can I go to harvard med?? I mean… I’ll be competing with less people who only graduated from community college.” </p>
<p>Your advice=horrible.</p>
<p>given i get into both… which i doubt and secretly hope does not happen so i am spared the pain of deciding… i am not sure if i want to get my mba or study law… so ucla seems more like a possibility… and i’d be working in socal for various reasons. i’m from sf btw</p>
<p>if you guys are to choose one from UCI, UCSB,and UCD, which school would you guys choose?? My major is psychology…</p>
<p>I heard UCSB has a good psy program! One of my friend chose UCSB over UCLA.</p>
