So im going to be applying to the University of Florida for spring 2018. I study Finance at FIU, which is a top 5 undergrad business school in my state, maybe even top 3. But UF is the best in the state and by a wide margin, much better than the program i am in. My goal is to major in finance, but UF’s finance program is extremely competitive to transfer into. They admit around 15% or less. My GPA will be around a 3.4 by then with a 4.0 in all my prerequisites. So if i were to not make it into finance, i would most likely be accepted into the BA in Business admin program. The thing is, i would much rather prefer economics over business admin. But the economics program isnt in the business school and does not have the size or reputation of the business school. So what do you guys think? Should i take the chance and apply for finance and settle with business admin if i am not accepted, or just apply for economics. Also, my preferred career path is financial services. Preferably investment banking or wealth management.
