<p>I am really stuck on this decision....</p>
<p>Wharton costs 42k a year for me and I got full-tuition at Emory. I am really close to picking Wharton, but I am worried about the overly competitive environment. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>It’s not really cutthroat. Most of the time you’re working in collaborative groups with Wharton undergrads anyway. And then you have the large chunk of curriculum that is in the College of Arts & Sciences (which, like Wharton, is stronger than its Emory counterpart)</p>
<p>Jeez…full ride vs 42k a year. Save your money for Wharton MBA.</p>
<p>a wharton education is priceless</p>
<p>just don’t think about it</p>
<p>dude…full ride vs 42k a year. Save your money for YALE, Stanford, or HV MBA !</p>
<p>Yeah, a Yale MBA…that’s a winner right there…</p>
<p>^^^ hahahahahahh</p>
<p>or just pay for wharton and dont ever have to go for an mba…?</p>

<p>Not sure why you are stuck. I faced the same decision years ago and was picking between Wharton or NYU full scholarship. Picked Wharton in a heart beat and decision wasn’t even close. Wharton opened many doors that NYU or Emory simply cannot compare. Many investment banks, if that is what you want to do, won’t even recruit at Emory on campus. Still remembered a JP Morgan recruiter saying how they only go to Harvard, Wharton and Yale since they get enough qualified candidates to fill their slots already. Just to give you a sense of how different it is, I worked for a summer at a big 4 accounting firm as an intern. Most of the people get invited back for a permanent job. Everyone gets the same salary except the Wharton grads who get a higher salary. While the cost might seem substantial to you now, you will make that back in less than a year down the road.</p>
