So the kid should make his college choice based on possibly getting into Wharton almost 10 years from now?</p>
<p>I had to make a similar decision 2 years ago when Stanford was my #1 and Penn (Arts and Sciences) was my #2. I ended up choosing Penn ED. The things that factored in were distance from home (3 hour drive to Penn vs 5 hour flight to Stanford), selectivity (much easier to get into Penn all things considered), and wanting to be in a city (across the river from Center City vs 45 minutes from SF). Have your son try to figure out what is more important to him in terms of what he is looking for in college and if it is worse for him: to get into Penn never knowing what Stanford would have said or being rejected by both schools. I personally have had no regrets picking Penn ED.</p>
<p>If your son wants to go into finance he should compare Wharton’s curriculum to Stanford’s Management Science and Engineering program or Stanford’s econ program or Stanford’s math program. </p>
