<p>johnkgh...thanks for the kind words.
I am getting a BA. From all of the research I have done and people I have talked to (I have several clients that work for Goldman Sachs), they said that firms, as well as graduate schools and law schools prefer a BA, especially in the Econ field because they would like the person to have more of a study of Humanities/Social fields, rather than a BS, which primairly focuses on the Mathematics/Sciences. I would imagine that from their perspective, a BA makes the student a more well-rounded individual.</p>
<p>really? you heard that business firms prefer BA's to BS's? I have heard that they often prefer BS's and engineers to liberal arts graduates because thay tend to have a more focused and logical thought process (this is assuming an MBA). I could have bad info on this, but is your data legit?</p>
<p>yarrr03...I am not saying that I am right. I am going by what my clients from Goldman Sachs have told me and from what I read in publications such as The Economist. My clients stated that Goldman Sachs prefers BA's because the Liberal Arts curriculum gives the student a wider range of education in various subjects, such as Humanities. I'm sure it's all based on the company's preference. Goldman Sach's loves BA's in Economics (from what I'm told from people who work there).</p>
<p>thanks for the info thomas :) thats news for me</p>
<p>johnkgh what i meant was, wharton students will definitely think Upenn is nothing without their school see what i mean? Its like asking FU pepole about columbia college or vice versa. Upenn is a great school overall with its own weaknesses (like every other university) and thats all i have to say. </p>
<p>who the hell are you anyway?</p>
