<p>I got into SEAS at Penn, but Also Northwestern. I'm really stuck as to which school I should attend. NW has better pure engineering, but I like Penn as a school a lot more.</p>
<p>As of right now, I don't plan on getting a dual degree from Wharton (If I chose Penn), although that could change in the future. I am going to take classes there (of course) and eventually want to get my MBA and move into management. I am also very much into political science, and I want to take courses and maybe get a minor- which school is better for that?</p>
<p>How is Penn electrical engineering, as that is my chose major as of right now? I already know the USNWR rankings already. However, I want your opinion. What I am wondering, will Penn give me a high quality pure engineering education, and will a Penn degree be worth a lot to employers, or will they pass me up for graduates from CMU, Penn, UMich, Princeton, etc.? Is Penn really worth the tuition, when I could go to ASU instead of either of these schools for a full ride? Basically, which will give me the better education - Penn or Northwestern?</p>
<p>I applied ED to Penn seas, and am actually regretting it somewhat and wish i had attended northwestern. I tried to get into the jerome fisher program early but was rejected, so that was the start of the bad news. Then, i didnt get any financial aid at all, which makes me desperately wish penn will be worth the 170k its costing me. If I went to northwestern, I probably would have been able to get scholarship money, so if you were given any financial aid at northwestern, i would go there. </p>
<p>however, since you say you are planning on taking business classes and possible doing a double major/dual degree, i would have to suggest penn. theres no better business school in the world, and it will definitly get you places if you say you took classes from wharton. i am also planning on doing a dual degree, but ive heard transferring can be tough and that dual degrees can be extremely demanding, especially if you plan on graduating in 4 years. </p>
<p>Trying to get back to your question, i think penn will give you a better overall education if youre planning on doing business and engineering, but if you only do engineering, i would head toward northwestern.</p>
<p>i hope this helps you out some</p>

<p>Just call them, they are very nice and helpful. Are your parents a small business owner?</p>
<p>haha, unfortunately, i already did that and was turned down once again</p>
