<p>I was accepted to both Harvard and Wharton (and some others). My question is which is better for business? I'm not really interested in theoretical economics. What's important for me is a school that will give me the best possible career options when I graduate. This is in regards to job placement (salary, type of job, etc.) and connections.</p>
<p>Wharton, Havard offers a good basis for business education too, but I don't think they have a undergraduate business program.</p>
<p>Harvard has no undergraduate business program, but it does have many business-related student organizations and opportunities for students.</p>
<p>As far as career options and connections, though, I honestly think you can't go wrong with either one. It really depends on what you want to study at the undergraduate level, so I'd suggest looking at the curriculum for each. You'd probably have a lot more flexibility at Harvard.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>And if it's worth anything, Boston is way cooler than Philly. haha.</p>

<p>"I'm not really interested in theoretical economics."</p>
<p>I think you just answered your own question. </p>
<p>This is the difference between studying econ at a liberal arts school and studying it at a business school: theoretical vs applied economics. If you're not interested in theoretical economics, why spend 4 years studying it?</p>
