Going to Penn for Grad or Undergrad?

<p>I'm extremely interested in attending UPenn for college, more specifically Wharton. However, my family and I have figure out that financially (counting for financial aid) I have two options: going to a state school for undergraduate and then Penn for grad school, or going to Penn for undergraduate and then a state school for graduate. Which of these would be the better option? And, does anybody even have a chance at getting into Wharton for grad if they only went to a state school for undergraduate?</p>

<p>What do you plan on going to grad school for? </p>

<p>FYI, if you do get into Wharton, then you should know that 2/3 of its graduates end up not needing to go to grad school. </p>

<p>State school for grad might actually be better. The perception of prestige at grad programs is unlike that at undergrad, and is far more department/program specific. It’s very possible to attend a state school with a grad program that ranks higher than that at an ivy league/private school.</p>
