<p>So I got deferred by Columbia ED T.T, and have to finish all my RD apps. I can't decide between applying for CAS or Wharton. I want to study business right now, but my interests aren't firm, and Wharton=harder to get in. Advice?</p>
<p>Decide. I meant decide, not decided.</p>
<p>Well if you end up not wanting to study business you are pretty much going to have a miserable time in Wharton, though I guess you could always transfer to the College. I would say apply to the College, explore what you are interested in, and take business electives. Plenty of College students end up in business, so you will have plenty of opportunities after you graduate if you decide that's what you want to do. If you decide business is not for you, then you will still have had a strong liberal arts education that prepares you for whatever you want. Good luck.</p>
<p>For someone who was set on Columbia ED (with the Core et al) I would recommend CAS over Wharton...</p>
<p>CAS with some great books courses and business electives thrown in. Best of both worlds</p>
<p>I would recommend CAS over Wharton. You can always transfer, and there are many more options in the college. You can also still take business-like minors in Wharton, or even a few electives here and there in Wharton. I'm basically echoing crashingwaves</p>
