UCLA Anderson - punches above it weight class

Experience during the program

It's a shame that Anderson dropped some spots in the latest US News ranking. Not sure why...I think it's the absolute best school you can go to, if you are looking to get into I banking (or even consulting) on the West Coast (given that you don't get into Stanford). Berkeley Haas' rep is better, but I don't know why. Haas is a weird b-school program that is super small, and curriculum and students are just weird. Not you're typical MBA profile. Aaaaaanyway, Anderson punches above itw eight class, especially for investment banking. Essentially any investment bank is open to you if you play your cards right. The school just got a $100 MILLION donation from the Anderson estate a couple of years ago too, so the school is going to be very well-appointed soon.
