<p>Technically at Duke, you can graduate with a very similar degree/experience as from Wharton. See the following: </p>
<p>BSc in Economics, Finance concentration

<p>Markets and Management Studies certificate

<p>If you like other majors more than Business, both schools have several opportunities. At Duke, you’ll be taking about 50% of your classes outside of Finance, Econ and Business (if you do the aforementioned major/concentration and certificate) and at Wharton, about 40%.</p>
<p>I won’t deny that Duke is more traditional a college experience, but Penn definitely has its strong traditions as well (Spring Fling, Hey Day, etc.).</p>
<p>As you can see, these schools are more similar than they are different. </p>
<p>As for post-college opportunities, I would have to give the nod to Wharton, but only just barely. Duke has amazing placement as well, especially in Finance and Consulting. Duke grads are in the most elite firms all across the world, and a simple linkedin search of your dream firm/location will show you that. </p>
<p>Some cons two be aware of: As for diversity of student body, at Duke your classmates will be more intellectually diverse (pre-meds, engineers, arts, etc.) than at Wharton, for sure. Lastly, I was in two Wharton classes this semester, and can tell you that it was immensely cut-throat. However, to a lesser extent, so were college classes like Math 104.</p>
<p>Both schools are absolutely fantastic and you honestly can’t go wrong with either choice. Good luck with the decision.</p>
<p>PS: Personally I feel Penn doesn’t give much attention to undergrads. Can’t comment on Wharton specifically since I’m in the College.</p>
<p>PS2: You must have an AIS-assigned international mentor by now. Speak to him/her.</p>
