<p>The OP is entitled to ask whatever question he wants without being lambasted by Columbia alums. That’s my [unsolicited] two cents.</p>
<p>But anyway, you asked for Ivies, and programs at Ivies, that are compatible with your current interests. Penn has the Huntsman Program in International Affairs and Business. You’d graduate with two degrees, a BA in International Affairs from the College of Arts and Sciences and a BS in Econ from Wharton (which is arguably the best undergraduate business school). Study abroad is a mandatory part of the program, as is a strong track record with languages. As you are already fluent in Russian, I think your application would actually have a leg-up in the admissions process, which is highly selective. The program takes something like 40 kids a year. There is one additional supplemental essay for kids applying to Huntsman rather than just one of Penn’s undergraduate schools.</p>
<p>I know Huntsman isn’t exactly International Relations, but it seems on track with your interests anyway and Penn has Philly and about 10,000 undergrads, both of which fit your criteria. Hope this helps and good luck with everything!</p>
