BIG PREDICAMENT!! Waitlisted at Northwestern, Accepted at Rutgers-Newark...

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>My main problem is that I want to go to the best school possible but at the same time I also want to ensure that my chances for externally transferring into Wharton School at Penn. are leveraged. </p>

<p>My question is, if I want to go into investment-banking or hedge funds on Wall Street, how could I maximize my connections and respect as an entering employee?</p>

<p>I really want to go to Wharton, but was denied ED. I know that it will get me the connections and respect I need. So that's why Im in desperate need to transfer to it. </p>

<p>If I get an Econ major degree from RU, then it won't get me to the same place that an Econ degree from Wharton would get me. At the same time, at Northwestern, I might be pressed to study all the time and might not be able to get a high enough GPA and enough ECs to transfer out to a place like Wharton (that is assuming i GET off the waitlist at Northwestern).</p>

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>I think you should stop thinking so far into the future, and just go to the school that fits you the best. You don't have to go to Wharton to be successful, and who knows how you are going to change in two years. You may not want to even do investment banking. I would just go to whatever school fits, and enjoy myself. You do not want to go to a school for two years constantly thinking about switching out and not being to enjoy yourself because you are to busy working super hard to switch out. You may end up really liking the school you choose, and if you don't then you can always try switching out.</p>

<p>but I mean really, what is the best thing to do in this case where I have an extreme urge to go to Wharton but at the same time want a place where I can stay at for four years that'll earn me a lot of respect?</p>

<p>Northwestern is a waitlist as it is right now and RU is accept.</p>
