<p>Does it make a freaking difference whether you go to Wharton or Harvard for undergrad if you plan on doing i-banking or hedge funds business?</p>
<p>people who go to wharton usually have the best business jobs, make the most money, and are looked upon as high caliber business people. (take a look at the trumps).</p>
<p>If you are asking about Wharton vs. Harvard, I would imagine it depends more on your individual talent, since both schools are of such high caliber.</p>
<p>doesn’t matter much.
you can really throw in princeton, yale, MIT, dartmouth, and columbia into the mix.
(Neglecting: Cal tech, duke, cornell, brown, uchicago, etc.) These are really 2nd rate when prestige is factoring into jobs.</p>
<p>I am not sure whether your question is geared towards undergrad business schools. Wharton is Upenn’s business college, but as far as I am aware Harvard does not have an undergrad business college.</p>
<p>But do realize plenty of Harvard econ (and many non-econ) concentrators end up going into the financial industry after college as well, and do just fine for themselves. </p>
<p>you’llsee, I don’t know why you have to bring in the Trumps into this. They have nothing to do with i-banking and hedge funds. Sure, the Donald (and his children) may have graduated from there, but Harvard doesn’t lack it’s share of entrepreneurs (in fact, many more interesting ones than Trump and Co). </p>
<p>If you are ABSOLUTELY sure that you want to do into business, of course I would look at Wharton first, simply because it’s, well, a business school. It’s also a fine school.</p>
