<p>I think the title says it all. I am an international student and I have no idea whether to apply early to Harvard or Wharton Upenn. I want to study business, and although I know that Harvard has no undergrad business school, it does have the connections. If I chose Harvard, I would take an MBA there. I went to a summer program at harvard last summer and I fell in love with it, but I also like the business program at Wharton. What should i do please HELP.</p>
<p>If you love both equally, go with your heart. There is no wrong choice between the two.</p>
<p>You would need to get in first though - for this to be a “real” problem for you.
With an overall admission rate of < 6% (3.8% for RD) and probably less for international students (applying to Harvard), you may want to apply to both and see if you get in at all before being torn between the two.</p>
<p>Like dadfind says, there isn’t really a dilemma yet. Everything I’ve read on this site says that early action in general does not provide any increase in chances of admission for a given applicant. Just choose one to apply early to, apply to the other regular and see if you get into either.</p>
<p>Also you need to recognize that even if you do your undergraduate degree at Harvard, that is no guarantee that you will get into HBS for an MBA.</p>
