College Majors Business Major

<p>Hi. I want to transfer to Wharton as a sophomore next year, as I was turned down ED. I ultimately want to do business in the future.</p>

<p>Right now, I plan on attending Rutgers U. I'm not sure what I should do, do arts&sciences the first year with economics courses, or whether i should go do engineering or math major. I know hedge funds and investment banks need strong quantitative ppl, but I also want to give myself a chance at a transfer and have a sky-high GPA next year and probably free time to do some leadership stuff.</p>

<p>Thanks for any advice.</p>

<p>a math, engineering or some other kind of quantative background is preferred.</p>
