<p>I know that both schools are really good, considering they're ivy league, but specifically in the economics department, in both of the schools' arts and sciences sectors, which school is better? </p>
<p>also, which school do you think commands greater international prestige?</p>
<p>Penn has a better economics department (or at least one that is consistently higher-ranked). As for which one is more prestigious internationally I think that would vary from country to country…</p>
<p>Cornell has more prestige, unless you mention Wharton. Geez, I think UPenn should change their name to Wharton University. It sounds a lot more high class.</p>
<p>^I think cornell does not have more prestige. Penn is not only Wharton, Penn has a superior Cas department. And regarding your other post about my english, when you learn to speak spanish like I speak english we will talk, ok?</p>
<p>Cornell is more prestigous. Internationally UPenn is konw as a state school somewhere in pennsylvania. Cornell is very well known as an IVY League school. </p>
<p>Cornell also has a better Economics department.</p>
<p>gugupo, I know you hold a huge grudge against Penn, but some of your claims are ridiculous.</p>
<p>Internationally (and within the US), Wharton is a huge deal, especially where hiring is concerned. Harvard definitely has name brand recognition in even the least developed parts of the world, but being affiliated with wharton matters where it really counts (employment).</p>
<p>And honestly, I think all the ivy’s are great for different reasons. But Cornell is definitely considered to be the “worst:” least selective, newest, and primarily an ivy for athletic reasons (the other ivy’s all share a colonial background and are definitely bigger names, except maybe when it comes to cornell engineering).</p>
<p>According to US News, Wharton is now only #5, it is worse than Northwestern.</p>
<p>That’s not equivalent to prestige, by any means. Wharton is far more selective than other undergraduate business programs because of its reputation, and that will have an impact anywhere in the world. </p>
<p>Furthermore, students in the CAS can take some of their classes at Wharton (which will appear on their transcript) and participate in the recruiting events (many of these recruiters don’t bother with Cornell, northwestern, or ANYWHERE besides wharton and perhaps harvard).</p>
<p>So again, where it matters (getting a broad business/liberal arts education with opportunities to prepare to enter the real world or be recruited), Penn wins. By far.</p>
<p>The biggest firms aren’t sitting around saying the northwestern kids are more desirable because US News says so. Things don’t happen like that.</p>
<p>I disagee. US News also disagrees with you.</p>
<p>Let’s see if I can play your game…</p>
<p>Penn is so much better than Cornell! According to US News’ undergraduate ranking, Penn is tied for fourth (behind HYP, tied with MIT, Stanford, and Caltech).</p>
<p>That’s ahead of Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, and Cornell (ranked 14th). </p>
<p>So overall, Penn wins. US News said so (and that’s not the only thing in Penn’s favor).</p>
<p>For global prestige in Economic, UChicago, Harvard and Oxford are the cream of the crops. Look no further.</p>
<p>I certainly agree with that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That is 100% wrong. Firstly, MIT is widely regarded as the top economics program in the world (U Chicago is its only real competitor, but it is so tied up in the Chicago stream of economics that many academics feel MIT is better all round). </p>
<p>Then you are forgetting Princeton that has a wonderful economics department as well. So before you make a blanket statement, make sure you know your ****.</p>
<p>dont forget london school of economics</p>
<p>
According to US NEws, Wharton MBA is #5, and it is worse than Northwestern.
Every Wharton student should accept this.</p>
<p>gugupo, we aren’t getting MBA’s. Most Wharton undergraduates never see the need to get an MBA, so that doesn’t even matter.</p>
<p>But your (single) point about northwestern still has nothing to do with Wharton’s actual prestige and name recognition.</p>
<p>i saw domestically upenn has more prestige but internationally cornell has more prestige (unless it’s upenn-wharton).</p>
<p>You got it backwards.</p>
<p>"And regarding your other post about my english, when you learn to speak spanish like I speak english we will talk, ok? "</p>
<p>I think I am ready, let’s talk! Well, I wasnt saying that my english was good. I’m not a native speaker myself. So, I know how it feels when someone picks on my grammar. But as a non native speaker, you should know better to not pick on other’s grammar. If you were offended by that, then I dont know what to say… You wanna pick on others, but you dont wanna get picked on. -_-</p>
<p>A few years ago, didn’t Wharton choose to drop out of the business school rankings due to privacy for its students and alumni? So every year after Wharton does not submit appropriate ranking info, its rank has dropped. </p>
<p>I read this from somewhere. Correct me if I’m wrong somewhere.</p>
