<p>Why are you no longer at the hedgefund? That would land you a BB S&T internship next summer.</p>
<p>BTW: What products did you work with at the hedgefund?</p>
<p>Hedge fund was a summer internship (last summer). I primarily worked within the retail sector.</p>
<p>Ruskie, I’m at Haas and I remember you from last year. You look as close to a sure thing as I’ve seen. lol, lets network on how you got that internship 
I’m looking for anything similar.</p>
<p>On the death of I-banking, btw…I see new positions for interns, analysts and associates posted on Cal’s career site every week. </p>
<p>Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, haha</p>
<p>Investment Banking. Yeah, good luck with that one…</p>

<p>In light of recent damning findings, UCLA’s admission standards are questionable at best. Not sure if the same can be said about CAL.</p>
<p>The “strongest” students get into the ivy league. The rest of us make do.</p>

<p>Anchor: What findings are you talking about?</p>
<p>[UCLA</a> Accused of Admissions Coverup - US News and World Report](<a href=“http://www.usnews.com/articles/education/2008/09/03/ucla-accused-of-admissions-coverup.html]UCLA”>http://www.usnews.com/articles/education/2008/09/03/ucla-accused-of-admissions-coverup.html)</p>
<p>Woah - I didn’t hear about the UCLA scandal until now. Thanks for the link to the article Anchor.</p>
<p>the 89 pgs report was worthless to read</p>
<p>It might have been a little better if he had been given access to the raw applications in the first place…</p>
<p>It just seems that there is this air of prestige around UCLA that quite frankly is not deserved. Shady admissions policies, snotty student body, and for what? To attend the 3rd best college in CA? Stanford and UCB being on top.</p>
<p>I’d have to agree. UCLA holds prestige, but doesn’t come near Stanford nor UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>I remember that during my days at Haas, Diablo Valley College was very well represented in the numbers of successful transferred applicants. Then there were talks about grade manipulation at DVC as covered in the following news article:</p>
<p>[Grading</a> Scandal Erupts At Diablo Valley College - News Story - KTVU San Francisco](<a href=“http://www.ktvu.com/news/13254292/detail.html]Grading”>http://www.ktvu.com/news/13254292/detail.html)</p>
<p>In light of this scandal, I would suspect that the admission committee may be suspicious of your academic record. I would even argue that a 3.8-3.9 GPA may appear more realistic in the eyes of reader than the flawless 4.0 GPA.</p>
<p>I personally know of someone who transferred in with a 3.6 GPA. Your profile is competitive but then again the majority of applicants have strong profiles. You have to effectively communicate to Haas why your unique strengths and particularly what you are able bring to the classroom that your peers cannot. </p>
<p>Moreover, there are numerous prestigious undergraduate business programs with terrific repute, my advice for you will be is that you apply to as many as you can to maximize your options. Good luck with your application!</p>
<p>i just read that article by us news. </p>
<p>“Such numbers prompted the university to switch in 2006 to a more holistic approach to admissions, comparable to the one used at UC-Berkley.”</p>
<p>but not to bring up old dirt = haas is hella nice at night. not going to joke, there was a moment where i wished i was a super genius so i could go to haas.</p>
