<p>and the wildcard penn (waitlisted)</p>
<p>I'm interested in studying business and film. </p>
<p>Which school would you recommend? I want to be able to have a social life while going to the best place that can educate me in those fields. </p>
<p>I need some help. Thanks.</p>
<p>Well, presuming you applied to Wharton at Penn, that wildcard would obviously be your best bet (and overwhelmingly so). Of course, coming from a fellow Penn waitlistee, there's probably not much to count on in that image.</p>
<p>I looked into business myself, and while I didn't glance at Columbia at all (not a fan of NYC), I did apply to Duke & Dartmouth. Of the two, I'd say Duke may be stronger undergrad in business--it offers a new BS in Economics, which, according to my dad (a Wharton-grad himself) is very impressive, and means that more businesses are going to be looking at Duke as this first graduating class of BS in Econ majors graduate.</p>
<p>Either way, though, are you planning on going to business school? If so, I've actually heard that it's a good thing to study something completely different than business undergrad, and then focus on business in graduate school.</p>
<p>cas at penn actually. and yeah right now im planning on business school</p>
<p>Duke has a surprisingly decent film department, and the Center for Documentary Studies is very close to East Campus. </p>

<p>I knew someone studying German and film at Dartmouth who loved the program there. Both are good for what you want to do; I'd pick based on other factors like location. Dartmouth has a smaller feel and is more rural, if that appeals to you.</p>
