<p>For undergraduate business, I have to decide whether to apply ED to Penn (Wharton) or to Northwestern.</p>
<ol>
<li>Does Northwestern even have an undergraduate business program?</li>
<li>How are factors like location, girls, social scene, etc.?</li>
</ol>
<p>Stats:
GPA: ~93 (3.7)
SAT: 2260 (660 CR, 800 M, 800 W)
AP: 5, 5, 5, 5, 4
Senior Courseload: Very Heavy (6 APs)
Extracurriculars: President, Treasurer, Business Editor, respectively.
Comm. Service: ~110 hours.
*Attended 2 summer programs at Penn (One at College, one at Wharton).</p>
<p>Any insight would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Northwestern has no undergrad business program. They have a graduate business school.
Idk, Penn is Ivy League… but Northwestern is in a great city with great people.
Chicago winters are brutal though. You have to decide what you want, I guess.</p>
<p>I might suggest retaking the SAT to bump up that Critical Reading score. It’s barely on the cusp of the 25th percentile so unless you have a hook it may help to get above 700.</p>
<p>Penn’s undergraduate business program is one of the strongest in the nation. If you’re serious about business, then Penn is the place to be.</p>
<p>Location–Both are in really good locations but Penn’s is closer to the urban city if you like that. Northwestern is more suburban which may be good for you.</p>
<p>Girls–Although some people claim that Ivies/Top 20 universities lack good looking girls, I’ve heard that both have a good deal of really pretty girls so if you’re looking for a girlfriend or some casual hookups you should be fine, considering the large population of each college.</p>
<p>Social Scene–Penn is more urban, but I’ve heard that both have good social scenes, unlike some of the more nerdy engineering focused colleges.</p>
<p>It’s really up to which one you liked more when you visited, and if undergraduate business is a top priority. Good luck!</p>
