Going to penn rather than wharton

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>In terms of getting Ibanking/finance jobs, how much of a difference does going to penn rather than wharton make? When I was applying to college I was set on applying to somewhere in penn, the question was whether it would be wharton or penn. I really didnt know what I wanted to do for a career, business was a definite possibility but by no means what my heart was set on, and I had heard some somewhat negative things about the kids at wharton so I applied to penn. I figured wharton is such a specifc program and I wanted my options open, plus a Upenn degree is not really going to limit you too much in life so I went for penn. I know at penn you can take a signficant amount of classes at wharton, but people are snobby and that doesnt matter too much. I am a smart kid and have good people/networking skills, so I am sure I will do well at whatever I put my heart and mind to, I was just curious how much of a distinction employers/B schools put between the two programs.</p>

<p>Wharton is not it's own identity. It is a part of Penn.</p>

<p>Get it straight.</p>

<p>LoL that depends on whether you ask a Wharton or non-Wharton kid. But in any case, Wharton is penn. At graduation, all the diplomas will say "University of Pennsylvania" - none will say Wharton.</p>
