<p>I'm thinking about applying to one of these schools early. Which one would serve my future international business plans better? I know both of these institutes are ridiculously hard to get into, but which one do I(lets say I'm well-rounded with good GPA, excellent SAT scores, and soem national recognition) would I stand a more realistic chance at???</p>
<p>harvard does not have any undergraduate business. both are the same level to get into (harvard undergrad vs huntsman). Arent you the guy who is contemplating Brown vs. Huntsman?</p>
<p>No, that was someone else. What business related EC would look impressive on an application to Huntsman??? Are they looking for kids who've helped manage a technical firm already?</p>
<p>i dunno. i didnt apply to huntsman (i was about to, decided that having to write another 500 word essay was too much work). i'm harvard '09 instead.</p>
<p>Huntsman IS international relations and business. I doubt you can go wrong with it. </p>
<p>About chances, I'm not particularly sure.</p>

<p>i'm sure you've heard this repeated many times, but don't pick an EC just because it would "look good" on a college app...do what you want and what you're passionate about, and explain why you want to do business, and your choice of EC won't matter as much as your passion for it will</p>
<p>I got into both programs. I think what made Harvard better for me was the lack of restrictions placed on your classes. I was not completely sure about the business portion and I figured I would rather go into a more broad undergrad program and then focus more for grad school. However, I love the concept of Huntsman, the one on one attention, and the vibe of UPenn. I chose harvard more for academic options, but I have since visited and really like the people and the vibe of the city. I think you can't really go wrong with either program....its really up to you and your personal preference. Btw, I appled rd to all schools.</p>
<p>Go to Harvard and then when you graduate, work for a bit, then go to Wharton for your MBA. Or, go back to Harvard.</p>
