<p>Hi, this happens to be my first post after lurking for some time on these forums, but I need to make a choice after surprisingly being getting into both Princeton and Penn's M&T program. Both parts of M&T interest me, and I'm not sure what kind of options Princeton offers in selecting a major or two. If you could offer some advice, that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</p>
<p>What the f!@# would be the point of having 2 bachelor’s degrees? That’s so dumb.</p>
<p>Come to Princeton - you won’t regret it. The Econ department here is literally one of the best in the world; definitely blows anything UPenn has out of the water.</p>
<p>or…</p>
<p>get and Engineering degree from Princeton and then an MBA…</p>
<p>Congrats on your great choices!</p>
<p>However, I must say that Penn engineering is pretty horrible. If you’re legitimately interested in engineering you’d be far better served going to Princeton (or Cornell/MIT/Stanford). If you really want the exposure to Engineering and Finance, a Princeton BSE + Cert. in Finance will open all the same doors as M&T will.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your hard work so that you are in a enviable position to make a choice.</p>
<p>You did not mention which engineering program you are interested in; however you will find that the Princeton engineering program is one of the best in the country. There are multiple ways of combining a engineering education with management preparation.</p>
<p>The economics department is one of the best in the world. The Operation Research and Financial Engineering major is a great preparation for Wall Street or consulting. A certificate program in Finance will provide the background to become a CFO. Also consider the Engineering and Management Systems certificate program.</p>
<p>With a little research you can easily develop a M&T type program at Princeton. When you visit the campus you will see you can obtain the education that you desire.</p>
<p>Most of the best business schools do not want students from a business undergraduate background. Major in engineering, take interesting courses in economics, finance, OR, entrepreneurship and go to a top business school for an MBA.</p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>
<p>^^ agree with above poster. I would personally choose Princeton just to get a broad liberal arts degree and have fun (compared to Wharton’s cutthroat and stressful atmosphere). Company recruiting is virtually at the same level, so I would choose Princeton!</p>
