<p>jds3, fyi, there is one more business program in the Ivy. Cornell’s Applied Economics and Management. Business week just ranked it 4th overall in the ug business school ranking and #1 in Financial management, marketing and microeconomics.
But you always have to take these ranking with a grain of salt.
My older son was at Penn doing a double degree Bioengineering and Wharton. My younger son is currently at Cornell AEM cause he wants to break out of older brother’s shadow. I think the Wharton program is a little stronger. But my younger son is really enjoying Cornell and blossoms in the social and non-academic aspects which is also crucial for future business success due to the set up of Cornell’s campus environments.
I am happy for both of their experiences at both schools.
BTW, I am a Penn DMD and my wife a Wharton MBA. So we should have bias towards Penn. But I have to say, so far I am quite impressed with Cornell also.</p>
