<p>I am a junior and I want you guys' suggestion regarding my early plan. Should I a) apply early actions to U Chicago, Georgetown, Boston College or b) apply early decision to UPenn (wharton) and early action to Chicago </p>

<p>I want to major in history, and hopefully also major in business or econ.
I am asking my teachers for recommendations in couple weeks and kinda need to make up my mind so that i can tell my teachers what colleges i am going to apply to early. </p>

<p>Well, if Wharton is ACTUALLY your first choice and you would rather go there than to any of your other schools, no doubt about it, and if financial aid isn't an issue, then go with plan 2. Otherwise, plan 1.</p>

<p>If your primary major is history, you may want to reconsider Wharton.</p>
