<p>If you are going to do business where would you go?</p>
<p>seriously candid opinions please, i'm so desperate!!</p>
<p>For undergrad? Don't do business in undergrad, do math.</p>
<p>YES! Exactly.</p>
<p>yes sloan vs wharton for undergrad is what im talking about</p>
<p>Both are excellent business schools, great job opportunities after graduation, blah blah blah.</p>
<p>If you go to MIT, you will have to take the General Institute Requirements (2 semesters physics, 2 semesters calc, 1 semester chem, 1 semester bio, 2 restricted science/engineering electives, 1 lab, 8 humanitites classes) regardless of your major. The admissions process is similarly major-blind -- to get into Sloan, you just have to get into MIT.</p>
<p>i personally wont suggest business undergrad degree...I mean its your wish after all but i think Math,CS or Econ is a far better option if u want to finally go into business....
And Wharton is i would say slightly better than Sloan not because of facilities but just that you will find lot more people enrolled in Wharton rather than at Sloan...</p>
<p>Aren't there quite a few management majors at MIT, though? Or are most of them double majoring in something engineering as well?</p>
<p>There are some 15-only majors but many of them just switched to management because it was easier... a few just really like it; but course 15 has got to be one of the easiest majors at MIT and that's why it gets a bad rap
Meanwhile, Wharton and MIT business departments are about the same, but I've been more impressed by Sloanies because they have good deductive (aka science) backgrounds too</p>
<p>Sloan awards about 113</a> bachelors degrees per year (which is about 10% of an MIT class). </p>
<p>According to the official</a> second major data, about 15 of those students are double-majors. For the record, I imagine that's substantially less than the actual number of double-majors -- the second major data records which major is declared as a secondary major, and most Sloan double-majors declare Sloan as their primary major (for priority in the Sloan</a> course bidding system). So I guess I would estimate that about a third to a half of Sloan students are double-majors with a technical field.</p>
<p>If it were me, I'd pick MIT Business (undergraduate) over Wharton any day. MIT is extremely collaborative and friendly (from most of what I've heard) and that probably extends to the atmosphere among students majoring in business, too. (Correct me if I'm wrong, MITers.) Wharton, on the other hand, has a famously grasping and competitive atmosphere, with not nearly as much a spirit of "let's help each other" as at MIT.</p>
<p>In fact, the only school that I know of with more collaboration than MIT is Caltech, but you probably don't want to come for the business degree.</p>
<p>So yeah... I think if you want to genuinely be friendly with classmates in the same major instead of palpably competing for the best grades, jobs, internships, etc., every minute of your life, I'd suggest Sloan over Wharton.</p>
<p>We at MIT don't have a nasty, back-biting, cutthroat bone in our collective undergraduate student body. :)</p>
