<p>He doesn’t. Nobody does. But even if the recession is over and the economy is growing (or booming, even) the Wharton-Wall Street complex will be a shadow of its former self, and unless you want to get business skills to be an entrepreneur right away (as were some of the most interesting undergrads I met at Wharton), it will not be the same sort of system that existed over the last 20-30 years of freewheeling high finance.</p>
<p>As for the OP, yeah show them simple numbers and facts that indicate the CAS and its student body are indeed worthy of adulation!</p>
<p>If that doesn’t work, just tell them you promise you’ll try to transfer into Wharton and then just never get around to doing it ;)</p>
