I fit none of that description but imo Penn State would be cheaper and the engineering school is basically on par with that of UPenn’s, so the choice is pretty clear there. However, I do stick to my original assertion that if you were not 100% sure you wanted to be an engineer then you should consider UPenn as it has a great CAS school and if you are lucky enough to be able to transfer into Wharton, that would provide amazing opportunities in the finance world.
