Hi everyone,
I am debated on whether to ED to Wharton or CAS. My stats are below but I don’t think they are high enough for Wharton. What are the pros and cons of Wharton vs CAS? I want to be able to take some liberal arts classes but I also like the focus of the application instead of theory at CAS.
How difficult is it to transfer from CAS to Wharton?
I would want to pursue a concentration in finance/accounting/management if I can get into Wharton.
