Is it worth it for this student to apply to Cornell (major options)

@TomSrOfBoston ii am not sure I understand your comment about the bog 4 cpa firms do not care about prestige? Are you saying that if you want to work for say, Price Waterhouse coopers they don’t care if you have an accounting degree? If you want to be in the audit department and get a cpa you would need an accounting degree or atleast enought classes to sit I believe. I joined a cpa firm but went into tax and never sat for the cpa–they didn’t care. Many join those big 4 in consulting and the like—you don’t have to have an accouting degree. Could you clarify your comment - I just couldn’t tell it you were saying that getting a business degree without accounting would or would not matter for employment there???
