| If you could go to any top school/program (ie, a highly recruited athlete with strong grades), what would be a good choice if you didn't know what you wanted to do? For example, would having a degree from Wharton make it overly difficult to pivot into another field if you decided to try something else after your first job, compared to having gone through a general undergraduate program? |

Consider colleges with open curricula, such as those in this site, which includes suggestions with both Division I and Division III athletics programs:

However, hypothetical options may be reduced by inflexible academic divisions or competitive entry to majors at universities of this type. |

SLACs are not top schools. |

Often more expensive than private. |

Not lots of options at top public universities because many of them admit you to a particular school and transferring to a different major in another school is often difficult if not impossible. |
