Penn CAS vs Columbia

RD decisions came out, and I was fortunate to get accepted to both. Planning on doing a pre-law or finance track. Particularly, for finance, I want to know the pipelines to top PEs/HFs, not just IB. I also wanted to know how competitive the clubs are and their culture.

Columbia for sure. Access to the city and the excellent talent pool it has to offer. Highly recommend.
