<p>I know there have been threads on CAS vs Wharton, but I'd just like your thoughts for my situation specifically.
My main dilemma is that I love some aspects of business such as marketing, but not finance. However, I am also a very social science-oriented person.
I also would like to have a job with decent-pay when I graduate, so that I can save up to a business MBA (my dream).
Some people have said that getting a business undergraduate degree is not as preferable as other degrees, and that non-business majors can still find jobs relatively easily in businesses.
From what I heard, business majors who haven't had business-experience yet do not learn as much in college since they do not have any business to apply their learning to.</p>
<p>In other colleges, I would've gone straight to the social sciences because of this lack of application, but the complication comes in that Wharton has an APPLIED economics degree.</p>
<p>So below are my choices:
1) Apply Wharton (cross fingers and hope), and dual degree business and anthropology, minor in foreign language
2) Apply CAS (which I heard is easier to get into?) and dual degree business and anthropology, minor in foreign language
3) Apply CAS and dual degree anthropology and economics. </p>
<p>Would getting a dual degree in Economics and Anthro, and not even thinking about Wharton, be more preferable than Anthro and Business? I love social sciences, but business is practical, and I can learn to love all aspects of business (finance included) just as much.
So you may ask, why is business grad your dream school? Because I really want to create my own NGO and business to help hospital children in the future (I'm really passionate about this), and business would help me achieve that. </p>
<p>I probably have little chance at Wharton, but more so in CAS. </p>
<p>Thank you so much! You are greatly appreciated.</p>
