Opinions on Cornell CAS Opportunities and Advice?

Hello! 

I am a newly accepted Cornell student to the A&S school. I want to major in economics and pursue IB/BB or Consulting.

  1. What are suggestions that you have in my situation? Any clubs/organizations that I should attempt to participate in that are strong? 
  1. Does Cornell have a strong presence in the business world? How has Cornell helped you? 
  1. I see lots of people on WSO seem to dislike Cornell. How does Cornell compare to other ivies and target schools (specifically Dartmouth, Brown, Duke, UMich, and UVA) 
  1. Should I try to transfer into Dyson, or is Cornell A&S the best option? I just felt like finance curriculum could be self taught—Idk, just my thought. 

Thank you!
