You’re a freshman, you should really stop worrying so much. I’d be surprised if you didn’t change your mind at least once. Honestly, you could become a CFO with either accounting or finance. But it’s going to take many years to work up to being a CFO, so would you rather study/work in accounting (maybe get a CPA) or study/work in finance (maybe get a CFA)?

Also, I really hope you’re not going to spend all of high school fixating on going to Wharton. It’s one of the hardest programs in the country to get into, even as a 4.0 perfect student.
