<p>I know that this is what I want to do with my life.</p>
<p>My question is:
What should I major in in undergrad?
I was thinking double major in Business Management (or finance?) and Theater.
What do you think?</p>
<p>And also, where should I apply to?
My current list:
Cornell
Columbia
UPenn
NYU (stern)
U of Chicago
Syracuse
Northeastern</p>
<p>Don’t major in management, that is weak. Major in finance or accounting or a hard science. Anything Ivy should be top of the list. Below Ivy I would rank it NYU, Chicago, Syracuse and NE. </p>
<p>Focus on getting into UG and forget those MBA/MFE dreams for the time being. Businesses don’t plan past 5 years and neither should you. You can try and do it, but it will be unrealistic.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input! I get what you mean with the undergrad acceptance right now, but I just hope to set myself up for the best outlet into that major, you know? I may change my major after a few years in school, but who knows?</p>
<p>Where you should apply to would depend on your stats. The Ivies and Chicago are in a different league than NYU, Syracuse and Northeastern. Also, Chicago and Columbia do not offer undergraduate business.</p>
<p>If a school doesn’t offer UG business, just major in economics.</p>
<p>Northwesten Univ in Evanston has both business and theater.</p>
<p>MBA and MFA??? You cannot compare them to each other, for they are totally different, and will lead you to a different paths. If you want to work in anything related to theater, then MFA owns anything, but other than that, you should look into a top MBA programs which you already mentioned.</p>
<p>I can get a double masters at several colleges in MBA and MFA at the same time, thus I won’t need to decide on a single one.
Also, I will major in economics at U of Chicago and Columbia. Hopefully, I’ll get accepted into Columbia (My first choice), and from there I’ll work it out!
Thanks everyone!</p>
