<p>Sounds like you already have a good idea of what you’re good at and a vision of what you want to be doing some years from now. Congrats. Now, I hope you’re not taking acceptance letters from either Wharton or Stanford for granted; I’d especially hope your cockiness doesn’t reflect as much on your essays as it does here or you won’t have a very good shot at all. So far in this thread you’ve directed all of your posts to your business and have ignored everyone who has actually tried to answer your question haha.</p>
<p>@Snappy</p>
<p>I am <em>absolutely</em> not taking admission into either of those schools for granted. Sorry if you think that I have ignored those who have answered my question, because I have not. It’s just that the people who answer my question never asked any questions that they wanted my to respond to, as opposed to the other people who wanted to know more details or accused me of lying. </p>
<p>What I am saying is that I am trying to decide whether I should apply EA to Stanford or ED to Wharton. I know that if I go ED to Wharton, my odds are much, much higher (partly to do with the fact that they place less of an emphasis on people’s grades than Stanford does) than if I apply EA to Stanford, but going to Stanford has always been my dream. I was just trying to get people to tell me why Wharton would be a good fit for me so that I may consider applying there (and being happy with it) rather than to Stanford.</p>
<p>Dude, I was mentioning Annenberg that’s communication, not engineering. It has come to my attention that the “trash major” of COMM is becoming significant somehow. I am at the college but take Wharton classes as well and the prof talked about how guys like Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg are not necessarily entrepreneurs but indeed communication engineers.</p>
<p>My point is that, if you are comfortable hiring people to do programming then why can’t you hire people to manage the business for you as well? You just need to be the chief-architect! I mean, look at Microsoft - Apple - Facebook who is/was the businessman? It’s Steve Ballmer, Tim Cook and (maybe) Sean Parker. Not Gates/Jobs/Zuckerberg.</p>
<p>I was just expanding your options. Of coz it’s your call. But there perhaps are options beyond just Wharton / Stanford. Personally I think entrepreneurship/engineering takes more practical experience than education. If you are in the market for iOS app then maybe communication will benefit you better. Just my $0.02</p>
