Berkeley is a well-known target school. Some of the elite finance clubs can be quite challenging to break into at Berkeley but you can always still break into IB without being part of them.
Amherst just more prestigious all around.
Agreed
Amherst and it’s not even that close.
Correct
Amherst.
Amherst snd it’s not close as another commenter said.
Only way I could say Berkeley is if you are going after something super niche and definitely on the west coast
what other schools would you compare amherst with in terms of targets?
T10 level, below HYPSM
Not sure what the nonsense is with Amherst but Berkeley has a huge alumni base across IB and the buyside with way better stem programs and a top3 business school. The people telling you Amherst and it’s not close are completely misguided…
Amherst = blue blooded Deerfield kid who’s parents hook u up with TGM job.
Berkeley = sweaty kid from Gunn who would chop off a testicle for an offer
