<p>If I want to go into accounting, is it better to go to Yale for undergrad (though Yale doesn't have an undergrad business program, I heard that big companies still recruit a lot of students from there), or UPenn CAS and take accounting and some other business classes CAS students can take, or WashU's Olin if I can get free tuition there?</p>
<p>can u not get into wharton or somethin... cuz u can major in econ and concentrate in accounting...olin is known at washu as "b-school pre-school)</p>
<p>you mean someone with the stats to get into Yale actually wants to have a career in accounting?</p>
<p>Go to Yale, you're probably going to realize that accounting is one of the least desirable jobs imaginable in a few years and won't be stuck at Wash U when you had a chance to go to Yale.</p>
<p>westsidewolf: is taking business classes as a UPenn CAS student still worth it?
stoneimmaculate: but isn't accounting one of the more flexible areas of concentration?</p>
<p>not really, ANY major at Yale with a decent gpa trumps an accounting major pretty much anywhere.</p>
<p>You can always go to Penn CAS keep a 3.7gpa and then transfer into wharton, that is if you're sure you want to major in some sort of business.</p>
