<p>One of the biggest mistakes students make is assuming that their concentration determines their job prospects. In reality, they are hardly related to what you are capable of doing right after college, and will not matter at all after that. </p>
<p>Concentrate in what you enjoy and what you are good at, not what you think will get you a job. A degree from Wharton is a degree from Wharton.</p>
<p>It's real estate for me if I can get in. I like the ideas of tangible assets, leverage, unlimited potential, market swings, affecting the way people live in a positive manner, and running Donald Trump out of business.</p>
<p>Finance, OPIM. Was planning to do Accounting also but my advisor talked me out of it.</p>
<p>Why? Coz I loved the introductory classes I took in these 2 subjects.</p>
<p>Yes, I actually loved OPIM 101!</p>
<p>Definately finance and global analysis. Hoping I can squeeze in Entrepreneurship and management. It's hard to choose because all the majors seem really interesting</p>
<p>finance and biomedical science</p>
<p>You definitely shouldn't do more than 2 concentrations. 3 is silly and 4 is just pointless. Don't worry about figuring this all out now. Junior and Senior year it will all come together.</p>
<p>Yeah I know that I shouldnt choose so many but it's so hard to choose. Wharton adviser would individualized concentrations be better if i don't know what to choose my second concentration. is it possible to have an individualized second concentration</p>
<p>now that i think of it, getting a dual degree with wharton seems really damn nice. ive always wanted to live in tokyo or kyoto and walk around in a sweet business suit as if i were important. what better way to do that then with a degree from wharton?! :)</p>
<p>but seriously, i love the fact that penn has this option open to students of all colleges (provided they have a high gpa). being an engineer, i know that once i get to a certain point in R&D, im going to have to enter management if i wanna break the salary cap most R&D guys get stuck at. i dont know anything about business though, and thus dont know anything about what concentration would best fit me :(</p>
<p>Is it possible to double concentrate concentrate in Accounting and Finance, and would it be difficult to do so?</p>
<p>it's certainly possible to do so - and as far as i know, not terribly difficult either.</p>
<p>Everyone in Wharton majors in more or less the same thing -- a BS in Economics, with a rather standardized curriculum.</p>
<p>Concentrations, however, vary greatly. I hate how people confuse major and concentration... a concentration is 4 classes. That hardly has the breadth or depth that a major connotates.</p>
<p>Personally, should I stick it out, I think I might have a management concentration thrust upon me, as disgusting as that makes me feel.</p>
<p>do stats
10</p>
<p>I like Environmental Policy & Management so far. But I really need to explore a lot more. I'm thinking of going into law after graduation as well, and Penn's submatriculation program sounds good.</p>
<p>Management</p>
<p>I enjoy...
-having positions of leadership/ being in charge
-learning about how teams/ work
-communicating a goal to people and exxecuting a project.....</p>
<p>My advice for all the freshmen is to simply assess your skills and then choose what you like. Most people have a finance concentration because they think that is the concentration that you are supposed to have, but that's not true. Come to Penn with an openmind because if you limit yourself so early, you may end up graduating Penn and then realizing that you can't stand finance or something else.</p>
