Recently I was accepted into Penn CAS off the wait list. I'm interested in pursuing a career in investment banking or consulting, but I had some questions regarding my opportunities at Penn. As a CAS student, will I get overshadowed by Wharton students when it comes to OCR or do CAS students have a good chance at being recruited for good internships and jobs? I am now choosing between Penn CAS and Duke Trinity, and I am leaning towards Penn, but I wanted your feedback on how my opportunities at Penn CAS student compare to my opportunities at Duke.

Your opportunities at Penn/Duke will depend on how well you do at the respective schools. A 3.5 at Penn may have a better shot at banking than a 3.5 at Duke, but a 3.9 at Duke may have a better shot than a 3.9 at Penn. Your extra-curriculars will matter, what you study will matter (despite what they say), your network will matter, and so on and so forth. All else equal, for the most part, CAS students are not "overshadowed" by Wharton students, but in a few instances/opportunities, it is probably true. Then again, since when are all student profiles equal...
Duke is infinitely more fun, the weather is better and the opportunities are similar.
