Reasons to NOT apply to Wharton

<p>Is it bad to go to a school where you are all about business.</p>

<p>I mean some of the top CEOs were like history majors, or engineers etc. </p>

<p>If you go to Wharton then you don't really get a broader education (correct me if I'm wrong)</p>

<p>That's why some people say apply to UPENN and take some classes at Wharton</p>

<p>What do you guys think. Anybody in Wharton disagree?</p>

<p>Ctrl + F “princeton”</p>

<p>Hmm, not in the post at all.</p>

<p>It’s like Premed, okay, there’s no point in studying history or art when you’re a premed or in an undergrad business school because you are positive that’s what you want to do in life.</p>

<p>nah wharton has liberal arts requirements and it’s not solely about business business business</p>

<p>ditto to premed, there’s no program at penn that buckets you so strictly within your major that you get no exposure to other fields</p>

<p>and to the above point, interdisciplinary strength serves you well no matter where you go in life; i’d call that kind of single-focused mindset misguided</p>

<p>You know, to be quite honest, I would argue that some of the non-Wharton majors are more restrictive in terms of education and exposure. The stuff you get at Wharton will serve you well in so many areas, no matter where you go.</p>

<p>To answer your question though, don’t go to Wharton if you’d rather study something else. :P</p>

<p>The onus is on YOU to be a consummate scholar, whether you’re at Wharton, Juilliard, or MIT. Don’t look to programs for a well-rounded education, as they’ll often give you a quarter-assed, half-baked curriculum that is as banal as it is time-consuming.</p>
