Harvard or Wharton

<p>I am a high school student who has narrowed down his schools to Harvard and Wharton. This account belonged to my brother (who is at Harvard) so there might be some wierd pre-med stuff on here. </p>

<p>I just want to know for a student who wants to major in economics and math, with concentration/ minor in finance, which school is better. I'm looking to go into investment breaking. Mergers and acquisitions or sales and trading seem like the two areas I am most interested in. Which school provides the best learning environment? Which school will give me the best opportunities to shine (research, internships). Ultimately, which school will get me the job? Money's not an object as both schools have taken care of that for me. I can handle cold weather, despite being from california. Difficulty of coursework doesn't particularly concern me because I went to a very, very rigorous high school. Probably should've mentioned earlier that it is math and econ for harvard and I got into the Jerome Fisher coordinated dual-major program. </p>

<p>No, this is not me trolling on the internet. Normally I would turn to my counselor, but she's too busy right now with the rest of my class to listen to my questions.</p>

<p>Wait, have you been accepted?</p>

<p>Poor ■■■■■ job. Look at the spelling “errors”.</p>

<p>I want this to be real. “Investment breaking”</p>

<p>It seems like he’s been accepted and the only errors I see are “wierd” and “investment breaking.” I could’ve missed something, of course.</p>

<p>If you are actually making the Harvard v. M&T decision, OP, here are some recent threads posted by students making the same decision:</p>

<p>Best of luck with your decision! I hope you’ll choose to become a Quaker next year :)</p>

<p>I guess Quakers don’t have a sense of humor. Must be a drag.</p>
