Stanford vs Wharton

College Search & Selection
1

Hello all,

I want to eventually be a Hospital CEO at a large, non-profit hospital, but I am unsure of how this can be accomplished. Would Stanford (Hum Bio + Econ) give me a leg up in hospital administration, or would Wharton’s Health Management program do so? (I was admitted there to both and money is not an issue at either location)

I quite a few questions:

  1. Should I enter consulting straight out of undergrad? Or should I go directly into hospital administration?
  2. What is pay like for a student straight out of a prestigious undergrad in hospital admin?

I very much appreciate all the input. Please do not respond in an insulting manner, all useful advice is appreciated. Thanks very much!

  1. Depends what you want to do. Depending on your prior experience, one track may be easier to achieve than the other.
  2. Depends on the company, results vary.

If I were you, I’d visit both schools to get a feel for what you want. You can’t go wrong, but a double major does seem like alot of work.
