Morning Ladies and Gents,

I have been research people who work on wall street from UPenn, and the majority are Wharton students. However, I have a seen a lot of CAS students with varying majors working on wall street. I was accepted to UPenn LPS, and I am now trying to decide which degree path would add more creditability to me pursuing a career in the financial industry. The LPS Econ degree is more math focused, and math is my weakness. Should I go for it anyways?

PPE tends to have the most prestige - were you admitted to it?

@MYOS1634 Do you think PPE would have more prestige in investment banking, private equity, or hedge funds?

Yes.

Awesome!
Thank you!

I heard Econ program at Penn is rough and heavily quantified.

Don’t risk your GPA, stick with PPE and have a good GPA
