<p>I got accepted to both schools, and I'm having a tough time deciding...which school would you recommend? which would be more impressive to potential companies looking to hire kids?</p>
<p>Wharton that is if you really want to do business.</p>
<p>I think MIT sounds more prestigious since UPenn sounds like a state school. If your into engineering and business I would go there.</p>
<p>All employers know of Upenn. Any employer that doesnt doesnt deserve to have an upenn graduate work for them ;). Go view the employment statistics for wharton. The top 100 out of a graduating class of around 400-500 get into BB ibanks, prestigious boutiques, hedge funds, top consultancy etc.</p>
<p>What? UPenn sounds like a state school? Name of a school has nothing to do with the prestige. Also, if one thinks that UPenn is a state school, all I can say to one is that you are ignorant about colleges.</p>
<p>go to upenn...there is a greater verity of business majors/courses while at MIT you are limited to more business management</p>
<p>It depends what you want to study. If you are interested in Economics and do not mind majoring in Economics over Business, go for MIT. But if you are intent on being a Business major, go for Penn.</p>
<p>Only plebians would mistake UPenn for penn state or some other state school. ;)</p>
<p>If I were you, I would go to Wharton. (but they rejected me :( )</p>
<p>wharton wharton wharttttton!</p>
<p>I posted something similar somewhere else but I can't remember where. If you are interested in business at all, go to Wharton. MIT's curriculum is much more narrow and tech focused, even for their business degree. Take a look at the curriculums and the areas of concentrations at Wharton vs MIT and you'll see that Wharton has a lot more to offer. If you are interested in combining that with engineering at all, you can still do that at Penn. But Wharton/Penn will give you a much broader business education as well as give you a strong liberal arts component.</p>
<p>yeah i think definitely wharton unless you're into IT which i think is one of the business majors MIT is really good at</p>
