<p>I got into both schools, but still haven't made up my mind.
Can you guys help me make my decision? Make me fall in love with
either Harvard or Wharton.
I'm planning to major in economics.
Your responses would be greatly appreciated :)</p>
<p>Congratuatlion! Well, you have to understand Wharton is very much a pre-professional school and if you have decided to go that path, Wharton is an excellent choice. You can't be wrong into the #1 business undergraduate program. It provides a much more focused enviroment.</p>
<p>Again, it is not which is better. It is more of which fits you better in terms of what you want to do.</p>
<p>Well, in the first place did you pick the screen name "whartonprincess" or "harvardprincess"?</p>
<p>lol, ^^^^ good reason</p>
<p>Unless you have a 100% drive to go onto Wall Street and work in finance, Harvard will give you more options when you graduate. By that I mean, you'll get the same looks from finance and hardcore business companies that you would being from Wharton (lucky for you that Harvard is one of the only schools in the nation for which that is true) but if you decide to pursue other avenues you won't have specialized down into a purely 'business' skill set like your Wharton counterparts.</p>
<p>^ Wharton undergrads are encouraged to take up to 43% of their degree requirements in the arts and sciences, and 30% of Wharton undergrads graduate with more than one undergraduate degree from Penn (e.g., dual degrees from Wharton and the College of Arts and Sciences). Plus, Penn's "One University" policy strongly encourages Penn--including Wharton--undergrads to take courses in more than one of the 4 undergrad schools (The College, Wharton, School of Engineering and Applied Science, and Nursing School), and in 8 of Penn's graduate and professional schools (Law School, Annenberg School for Communication, School of Design, School of Social Policy and Practice, Graduate School of Education, etc.), without the need for any kind of special dispensation.</p>
<p>Wharton</a> Undergraduate Program: '+pageName+'</p>
<p>So, far from specializing "down into a purely 'business' skill set," Wharton undergrads actually have the opportunity to pursue a program of unique variety, breadth, and depth that goes way beyond the traditional liberal arts or business curriculum. It provides a wide scope of academic opportunity that is truly unparalleled.</p>
