Did I fuck up with mu CUHK program choice

Hi!I'm currently at CUHK, studying Quantitative Finance and Risk Management. Wanted to know if there is much difference between this degree's and Global Business Studies (CUHK+Copenhagen+UNC Kenan Flagler) competitiveness. While GBS provides some western uni names to mention on CV, QFRM will let me go to Wharton as an exchange student and seems to be more academically rewarding and rich in practical experience. Planning to try to find my way into IB or S&T (Mandarin proficiency is my weakness, so most probably the latter).If you have something to tell about my program or GBS, I'll be very happy to read that.

No one will care about your 1 semester at Wharton, so don't use that as a decision making factor. Not sure if anyone cares about unc or Copenhagen experience either, but that is a fun program and is fairly recognizable for at least attracting some talented people and might help with mba admissions.

However, if you aren't a citizen or a full-time student, you aren't going to get a job in any country but your home one (some exceptions, but not too many). If ib is the goal, get good at mandarin while in hk. If s&t is the goal, Quant finance is probably best. It sounds like staying in HK is best given these two routes. The 3 way exchange is probably best as a life experience not am academic one.
