<p>You implied that most people would seize any opportunity to transfer, when you said "if i do get a chance to transfer, i will, no doubt. most people would do the same."</p>
<p>Just because Wharton is top prize among business schools, doesn't mean everyone has to be scurrying to transfer into it. Harvard, for example, is considered "top prize" as well, but you wouldn't say that "most people" in Penn CAS, which is still good but not Harvard, want to transfer to Harvard. Anyway, this thread isn't to debate Wharton vs. Stern, but I'm just pointing out that you're hyping up Stern as if it's the greatest thing since peanut butter, but at the same time you're not good at hiding the fact that the wonderful jobs and what-not that Stern seems to get its graduates isn't enough. </p>
<p>I don't go to CMU, so I cannot say whether people complain about how much they'd like to leave Tepper and go to Wharton, but I know a LOT of people in Stern and all they harp on is how much they want to go to Wharton. I don't know anyone at Tepper that does that.</p>
<p>sweetnsarah, the reason u don't hear of many people in tepper wanting to transfer out but u do hear people in stern wanting to may be because Stern has 500 people and Tepper has 80.</p>
<p>If you're really into business...Wharton undergrad just wins. there is no argument. While tepper/ross/stern are good, they still need a while to catch up with wharton. I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to transfer there.</p>
<p>oh are u the girl with the stupid friends story that wanted to transfer out of Stern. i still get a good laugh, when the girls wanted to transfer out of "cold and cruel" Stern, what a tragedy, they had to stay to give each other company. quite frankly you don't know enough people in either schools to make such generalizations. you underestimate Wharton, since you were accepted, while others were not as lucky. well again, you would underestimate it, since it is much easier for girls to get in. by the way penut butter sucks. and i don't have anything to hide and i'm not hyping up any school. whatever Stern is doing its enough that's why I am attending, but as I mentioned it can do better, same goes for other schools below Wharton. and who is debating Wharton vs. Stern? when was there any debate?</p>
<p>Notice how the people who prefer Tepper on this thread are much friendlier than the ones who prefer Stern. I think that pretty much speaks for the social scene.</p>
<p>And legionaire, even if I got in because I'm a girl and it's apparently easier for girls to get in (I'd like to see some stats that prove that, by the way, because I know that Wharton is more than 60% guys already, so I am rather curious to know how much of an advantage I had), I don't really care because, if you want to resort to low blows, it all boils down to I got in and you didn't. Ouch.</p>
<p>I'm officially done with this thread. Nice talking to you all =]</p>
<p>my apologies if i may have offended anyone on this thread, i too am done, moving on to bigger and better things. overall, all this arguing summed up to nothing, we're back to square one.</p>
<p>when they list "analyst" does that mean investment banking?</p>
<p>actually to answer my own question no i dont think it does... because they also list "investment banking" as a position..</p>
<p>as an incoming CMU student that report makes me really want to transfer to stern or something...</p>
<p>i am not familiar with any of the companies that offered good positions as a trader or as an investment banker and all the firms i have heard of hired the grads for "analyst" which is not to be confused with "investment banker"</p>
<p>the one investment banker working at a good firm in there is working in hong kong...</p>
<p>when it says just analyst or investment banking analyst it means that its investment banking. Anything that says data analyst or operations analyst is back office work, which is not really a good thing. The trading positions are entry level at prop trading firms, and you basically eat what you kill. the highest paying job there is the citadel one, with the financial technology associates program, and thats the one with the 80,000 dollare first year paycheck.</p>
<p>Over 100 posts for this small retarded thread....</p>
<p>wow. Posting up facts is fine, but ankle biting? Jesus some of the people here (namely Gatorade) need to just stop, and stop bugging everyone!</p>
<p>Legionaire is right, all this argueing summed up to nothing....</p>
<p>All I really got out of this thread was it seems like Stern and Tepper are just about the same level, doesn't matter of one is a bit higher than the other, they are roughly the same... But the Top Business school is Wharton (lol never heard of it, dont care to)... and thats that.</p>

<p>why is it not consitent though? if "analyst" means investment banking analyst then why is "investment banking" listed as a seperate job</p>
<p>and highest paying right out of college does not mean highest paying a a few years. im sure a lot of average engineers make more money than kids coming out of wharton for a few years</p>
<p>No, including bonuses I think a good wharton student in an analyst position at a BB firm will definitely beat any engineer by at least 20k straight out of college</p>
<p>not all wharton grads are analysts at BB firms...</p>
<p>notice how i didnt say <em>all</em> wharton grads ;p</p>
<p>and why does that report use "investment banking" and "analyst" as two different positions.. i think it might be CMU trying to spin the report... "analyst" could mean anything it doesnt have to mean investment banking, no?</p>
