Non-Wharton Penn vs Columbia Dual BA for undergraduate
Hi. I just got off the waitlist for these two undergraduate programs. My goal is to work in consulting. Would love to hear your thoughts.
- Penn CAS, PPE Major (COA $250k)
- Dual BA program between Columbia GS (not CC) and Sciences Po Paris (COA $160k)
Columbia GS Dual BA would be cheaper and I can get 2 bachelor’s degrees in 4 years but the Columbia part will come from GS, not CC. Will that be looked down upon by employers and grad school?
Also, there’s high chance that I will work overseas so school with stronger international brand name would be great. I assume overseas employers won’t care or know about the GS/CC distinction?
I'd vote for the Dual BA with Columbia. Prospective employers will see that you earned a BA from Columbia (and Sciences Po!), which is impressive regardless of school.
Penn. You still get access to 80%+ of Wharton's rercuiting opportunities. Which should be more than enough to land you a top job out of UG.
Penn. Columbia GS is viewed differently from Columbia CC (otherwise its starting salary wouldn't be $10,000 lower). And Sciences Po is nowhere near as prestigious as you think it is - it's not even a target school in its home country, France.
sc po definitely top-target in france for eb/bb ; semi-target for MBB
You got off Penns waitlist nice lol, i would choose Penn PPE over Columbia plus you could also transfer into Wharton after one year
Internally transferring to Wharton is pretty difficult but only marginally improves recruiting outcomes. Penn PPE still has great placements into IB, looking at the career reports.
IMO it’s would still be worth transferring to Wharton I believe Wharton kids really differentiate themselves from UPenn. Anyway congrats on upenn
