<p>Marshall v. Wharton (business)</p>
<p>30k a year (appealing so might be less) v. 2k a year+ 5k/year loan.</p>
<p>I haven't visited Penn yet, but as far as academics and atmosphere, both schools are appealing. </p>
<p>What are your opinions?</p>
<p>Wharton. Especially if you have to pay that much for USC.</p>
<p>Im not sure if you were confused on the figures but its 30k for Wharton (120k overall), 2k for USC (28k overall). Or are you saying that 28k is too much for USC?</p>
<p>oh i just realized I put the $$ in the wrong order. Sorry!</p>
<p>if you plan on working on wall st, IB, etc, go to wharton 100%</p>
<p>Ohh, I thought you had to pay 30k for USC per year and 2k for Wharton, sorry about that. I was like “oh man this should be a nobrainer if you have to pay 30k for USC and only 2k for Wharton!”, sorry about the misunderstanding! Anyways with this new wrinkle it’s more complicated…if you could appeal to Penn and get a better financial aid package, then Wharton all the way, but it’s not like Marshall is too bad either, my cousin’s going there and she’s pretty impressed by it. I don’t know much about Marshall’s business program, but there is a lot of recruiting going on at Wharton for Wall Street…what are you planning on going into in business?</p>
<p>what im planning on going into?? anything but wall st and IB. That’s my dilemma. I know Penn is ridiculous at finance and IB, but I plan on doing international business with social impact. I honestly don’t know if a Penn degree will get me much further in that field since both schools are well known for Int. Biz (penn rank 3, USC rank 6). </p>
<p>On the other hand. In general graduating from wharton would get me further in other fields of business (and any other career if i happen to change my mind), and I don’t plan on going to grad school so the extra $$ could be worth it.</p>
<p>any advice?</p>
<p>also Id be in the Global Leadership Program which gives me access to some of the top biz leaders (they come as speakers), priority in certain other Marshall programs, and the opportunity to go to China as a freshman.</p>
<p>i’d probably go to USC. The advantage Upenn has in ranking is pretty negligible, unless you want to go to the job market straight out of undergrad. If you’re going to grad school, i’d say choose USC; if you’re not, i say choose Upenn.</p>
