<p>So I was accepted into Harvard and The Wharton School at U-Penn and I am looking to go into IB or consulting. This is the hardest decision of my life and I was hoping to get some input/advice. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Same dilemma as you. How about for entrepreneurship?</p>
<p>See: [Fields</a> of Concentration Handbook for Students 2011-2012](<a href=“HarvardKey - Harvard University Authentication Service”>HarvardKey - Harvard University Authentication Service)</p>
<p>Harvard DOES NOT grant a degree in business, while Wharton does. The choice, it would seem, comes down to what other concentration at Harvard would you be interested in pursuing.</p>
<p>Or what city you want to live in. Philly v Boston.</p>
<p>Or if you want to look for new housing every year. (UPenn does not guarantee housing beyond freshman year v. Harvard housing is guaranteed for all 4 years.)</p>
<p>Do give this a read: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/902457-wharton-mythbusters.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-pennsylvania/902457-wharton-mythbusters.html</a></p>
<p>I do realize Harvard does not grant a degree in business. I was going to major in Economics if I decided to go there. I guess my real comparison is: Harvard Economics degree vs. Wharton Business degree</p>
<p>^^^ There are a bunch of CC threads on that topic: <a href=“economics at harvard vs business at wharton - Google Search”>economics at harvard vs business at wharton - Google Search;
<p>I’m making this decision too! I much prefer studying liberal arts though…so I feel that Harvard would ultimately be better for me than Wharton. I’m not sure though, I will be visiting both schools in April</p>
