@crazytaco7 hahah for sure for sure. If i end up going there I most definitely will!!! @Dunboyne cost of attendance is not an issue with either for me. The financial aid packages are the same for both (asked penn to match Yale’s offer). The thing I am considering now however is if it is better to have the “academic” course of study now during undergrad since I can’t really get that in grad school and then go to grad school. Or if i should go into the “real-world” course of study and then just start working/go to grad school if i still feel like i need to or want to.
Also the fact that Penn and wharton have churned out many billionaires is quite appealing. I mean that must mean they know what they are doing or at least they are equipping the students with the necessary tools to go out and do great things.
Your grad school plans and your preference for either curriculum will be important factors. Both schools’ grads have been very successful, so I’m not sure the millionaire/billionaire argument holds much water. You’re comparing Wharton to Yale, for corn sake.
hahah sorry @Dunboyne lol. That’s what I’m trying to figure out if i want or not myself. still quite unsure lol but I know i’ll find out soon since i only have a few days left to decide. I know i’ll end up fine going to either place but i feel like wherever I go i’m gonna miss out on a lot from the other school. Honestly at this point however i’m just nit picking, but i’m grateful to be in this predicament for sure however.
@Hawks20062 idk what you ended up choosing, but for business or engineering it is penn hands down, for economics either is great since the departments are pretty equal plus at Penn you have the advantage of better business recruiting (business recruiting is open to all of penn students, not just wharton students and all do equally well, especially engineering and econ students). and yes Penn s liberal arts is not on the same level as yale s but it is only a notch down. so at penn you can get a combination of practical and liberal arts education which is very unique amongst colleges.
If having a more business oriented major is your priority, then per most of the comments above, Penn is your choice. That said, you will not lack or want for any opportunities come graduation–in fact, you will probably have more to your choosing, given the smaller size of Yale. The intimacy of the residential college also will provide a much more comprehensive education. It is certainly a decision tethered to preference, notwithstanding, I would lean towards Yale.
I alway feel that majoring in business is a bad idea for undergrad. Why not undergrad at Yale, (the best you can have), and an MBA at Wharton, or at Harvard for that matter?
