<p>Has anyone been accepted to Jerome fisher and another top school? which one are you leaning towards?</p>
<p>I'd like to know too...jerome fisher or harvard?</p>
<p>Well it depends on what you want. If you want engineering and business, go with Jerome Fisher.</p>
<p>If you want anything else, a Harvard degree would be better.</p>
<p>If you are in Jerome Fisher, you are really too busy to actually take advantage of the great personal/social opportunities Penn provides..</p>
<p>"If you are in Jerome Fisher, you are really too busy to actually take advantage of the great personal/social opportunities Penn provides.."</p>
<p>Really...? I've heard otherwise...</p>
<p>I will likely choose Fisher over Stanford, NYU, and an in-state public school full-ride.</p>
<p>I just parrot what I hear from my own Jerome Fisher homies.</p>
<p>They still like being here, don't get me wrong. Penn rules. I'm just saying I think I have far more fun than they do ;-)</p>
<p>i also want to choose fisher over h. but if i were to go into fisher, then isn't my career path basically set? business, investment, etc...</p>
<p>If you're really interested in business/engineering then why would you even consider Harvard?</p>
<p>If you aren't sure of what you want to do, I would go to Harvard.</p>
<p>i am not into engineering. i just don't want to ONYL do business or econ.. i want to do econ or business or commerce with another major, like applied math, anything, so i can be more well rounded and not single channeled...</p>
<p>the emails i got recently from MT alumni and current students seem very tempting.. :( maybe i'm just easily influecned.. anyone else in the same boat - picking between MT and another top school?</p>
<p>Lol it was be awesome if you came to Penn, PW. If I decide to attend (and I most likely will) then you, me and legend can start our own Princeton EDers Club.</p>
<p>not exactly the same, but choosing between harvard and hunstman. I'm pretty sure I'll be at harvard for the same reason youre not sure about mt. Although I love the international, I'm not sure about the business aspect, and my mind has already started wondering to other things (international journalism, politics, etc.) I just don't think I'm ready to commit myself to one thing. And besides, as a generally outgoing and selfmotivated person, I don't think I can really go wrong at Harvard.</p>
<p>Harvard... seriously i don't know why, but i just don't seem to like it that much anymore. maybe it's due to all the harvard bashing - no undergrad focus, students unhappy, competitive, etc etc.</p>
<p>really? I know several current students there and they all seem really happy. But it also comes down to personal instinct-i feel like I would be making a mistake in boxing myself into a certain program. Maybe Harvard isn't perfect (not really a maybe but a reality) but I don't think those imperfections would keep me from getting a good education there and enjoying it. The lack of undergrad focus is a negative, but my interests are pretty unusual so I think I will have less of a problem with that. My only serious concern is the weather; I'm going coat and scarf shopping in september before going up there...</p>
<p>I woudn't consider Philadelphia weather much different from boston weather, sure, boston gets more snow, but when its january in boston and philadelphia, you won't be able to tell a difference.</p>
<p>hah, do harvard so that i might have a chance of transferring into m&t after freshman year</p>
<p>but seriously, id do harvard, because well, its harvard</p>
<p>i made the decision before i applied and put my early application at M&T instead of Harvard...i'd imagine the choice would be different if you were accepted to both in regulars</p>
<p>"but seriously, id do harvard, because well, its harvard"</p>
<p>i'm trying to make prestige as little a factor as possible in choosing between H and MT.. i know it's impossible to eliminate the factor, but i'm trying!</p>
<p>yeah, because if you go to penn instead of harvard studying the same thing you'll automatically make millions, but if you go to penn, you'll have nothing in your life. what do employers or rankings know! if a school was once not top ten, it can never be!</p>
<p>i'm promising you right now: choose what school fits you best and don't consider the prestige, because you'll be unhappy and it will simply not matter in 10 years. what will matter, though, are the memories you take from college and how you develop and mature. the latter objects will be enhanced by having a school environment conducive to your personality.</p>
<p>i'm going to say this again: if you take the same person and put him in harvard or penn or stanford he'll live a similar or identical life no matter where he goes.</p>
<p>and, before I came to CC, I'd never heard anything (here in california) about stanford or penn being underpar compared to yale or princeton or harvard etc. it's a notion perpetuated by ignorant students. a notion which holds no grounds based on the conversations I've had with CEOs and other adults who hire people or are in charge of departments at companies (must be that jewish powerful conspiracy that I'm a part of!).</p>
<p>Three comments...</p>
<p>I live in Philly. It's just as cold as Boston but not as much snow. I don't know if that's necessarily better. I rather at least have some pretty snow to look at when it's so bitterly cold outside.</p>
<p>So jealous of Alita for getting into Huntsman. I didn't even bother since I can barely speak Italian even though Ive had 3 years of it.</p>
<p>Harvard's amazing because, well it's Harvard. But I know I wouldn't fit in in a million years. I'm not passionate about, well anything and when I visited I just did not like the vibe I got.</p>
