<p>Wondering whether all of the wonderful and prestigious businesses that recruit undergrads on campus would recruit an undergrad who is in CAS and not Wharton.</p>
<p>And, if so, what majors at CAS would be the most recruitable?</p>
<p>Anybody know a CAS graduate who got recruited for a good job on campus? What was her major?</p>
<p>Yes, you can definitely be recruited from CAS. This link here has specific employment information for the various undergraduate schools at Penn: [Career</a> Services at the University of Pennsylvania](<a href=“http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/reports.php]Career”>http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/reports.php).</p>
<p>Thanks kbolisetty23!</p>
<p>Does a CAS student get access to the same recruiting fairs/meetings/seminars, etc. that are at Wharton for the Wharton students and, if so, any idea what percentage of students that go are CAS?</p>
<p>In general, all undergraduate recruiting–including for Wharton students–is handled by Penn’s Career Services office, which is open to all Penn undergrads (Wharton does not handle its own undergraduate recruiting):</p>

<p>So the answer to your question is a YES, and lots of CAS students do (don’t know the percentage).</p>
<p>Generally for CAS students who want to be recruited in to business, economics is the traditional major. It is definitely possible to do so as long as you set yourself up well. You need to demonstrate your interest in finance or whatever other field through your activities and internships. In addition, the GPA bar is set higher for CAS students breaking in than for Wharton students. I’d say a 3.7 in CAS for recruiting would be generally equivalent to a 3.5 or higher in Wharton, so you would need around a 3.7+ to be safe. Beyond that the process is similar and a CAS student should have open access to the same resources as the Wharton students.</p>
<p>If you look at last year’s College career plans survey, you’ll see that businesses hire people from all sorts of different majors.</p>

<p>Even a philosophy major got a job as an analyst at JP Morgan, and fine arts majors got jobs at Goldman Sachs, ZL and Lincoln Financial.</p>
<p>The point? Major doesn’t really matter at Penn… your resume, cover letters and interactions with employers matter.</p>
<p>^ Excellent point. And if you want even MORE evidence, you can look at the Career Plans Survey Reports for CAS going all the way back to the Class of 2005. kbolisetty23 linked to the page above, but here it is again:</p>
