Harvard vs. UPenn undergrad?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>I am very interested in business/finance/economics, but still not entirely sure exactly what profession in those fields I will want to go into. That being said, both Harvard and UPenn (Wharton) really interest me. Obviously, Harvard does not have an undergrad business concentration, but they do have economics, which interests me. Yet UPenn's Wharton school is often regarded as one of the best undergrad business programs.</p>

<p>What do you guys think? It's been my dream for as long as I can even remember to go to Harvard, if that makes a difference. But now I'm just thinking a bit about the practicality of it. </p>

<p>(Also: I am interested in potentially being an investment banker, if that matters)</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>If you’re going into business, the Harvard sticker can be particularly valuable, but either would do you fine. I’m correct that you haven’t been accepted to either yet, right? So that’s going to be your first hurdle. If you are lucky enough to be making this decision for real, though, you should have the ability to visit both schools and see for yourself where you’d be the best fit. Both schools offer flight compensation for visits if you need it, and really, since both schools would give you a great education, it comes down to where you’d like to spend four years and a couple hundred thousand dollars. Good luck!</p>
