<p>What’s the difference between Huntsman and taking IR classes in CAS when enrolled in Wharton?</p>
<p>I’m opting for the latter since I want to have a life in college.</p>
<p>@ Abivin: Do you still live in Panama, or have you moved to the states?</p>
<p>There are only three of us? Huh. Well I hope we all get in.</p>
<p>omnom: yup i do, lived here all my life :)</p>
<p>wait, so are you hispanic, or white?</p>
<p>Im white w/ hispanic culture…haha. Here’s the explanation: my dad grew up in the canal zone; his dad was one of the pilots that took ships thru the canal way back when. Both my dad and mom and ‘american’ (she’s from texas), but they both decided to move down here to work. I’ve lived in Panama all my life…so I got a mix of both American and latino culture…so i can mix w/ both fine…i.e. im fluent in spanish and can pass as a latino…but you wouldnt second guess that i wasnt fully american if you knew me either…</p>
<p>hope that clarifies it a bit</p>
<p>@ IRJunkie: Huntsman looks more prestigious better on a resume. Plus I’m not sure if it’ll be as easy to have a double major inside Wharton with IR as it is just to do Huntsman. I’d have to check up on that.</p>
