@julliet Thank you for the super thorough response. I had no idea that the Columbia school of general studies existed. You are correct I do like economics, but I also like how finance is more focused on the applied aspect of it. Between Econ & Finance it’s a toss up for me. However, I’m entirely uninterested in other business majors like marketing, accounting, etc.
With regards to Swat v Stern would you stay that Stern is a lot more competitive in between students vs Swat being more collaborative. I’ve heard that the business schools in some of the more elite universities are very competitive (Wharton for example).
