Wharton is worth every penny and the debt, which can be paid off within 1 or max 2 years.

<p>LMAO @ the way you evaluate investments. Are you 12 years old?</p>

<p>LOL this kid won't last a year on his own if that's the way he thinks. </p>

<p>MightyNick - Ever heard of living costs? You obviously haven't taken any business or marketing class because you are reading their propaganda. With room&board and living costs Wharton canm easily run $50,000. If you take just $40,000 in loans, you find it possibly to pay off these loans in 2 years? That's 20k a year when you'll most likely be making 50-60k. Have rent, utilities, food, clothing, transportation etc. etc.? I'm afraid it's not that simple and you must be a horrible business student if you believe in the value of one product over another without adjusting the scale to balance all other contributing factors to the decision.</p>

<p>Big Mac > Whopper. Big Mac = $10. Whopper = $1.50. So the value of the product is based on Big Mac > Whopper. Don't we need to take into account the money save, the more whoppers you eat, the more big macs you can afford. If you are going to be a successful businessman, you don't need rankings to impress employers, you impress them by experience & skill.</p>

<p>If A wharton grad was going for a job in say Texas, the company will likely hire a local who has had interned there often.</p>

<p>I haven't gotten into either I am only a junior, and I was contemplating which one would be the better college. I was only going to apply to one college, if I decided on UT, but I was considering maybe applying to Wharton.</p>

<p>^^ Do you know how impossible Wharton is to get into? Why even contemplate going there when your chances are very slim?</p>

<p>Why even contemplate going there when your chances are very slim?</p>

<p>that is a retarted statement. If everyone had that mindset, no one would apply, because no one has more than a slim chance of acceptance.</p>

<p>s t f u. no one asked you.</p>

<p>Just like no one asked you to tell him he can't get into Wharton.</p>

<p>You're just mad because everything you say is stupid.</p>

<p>Wharton is great for national and even international prestige. You can land up in Wall Street with a Wharton degree much easier than a UT degree. However, UT has a great business school as well, and if you're good (and assuming you could get into Wharton, you should be near the top of class at UT), you can still land interviews with major banks, consulting firms, and even a few hedge funds. However, you'll probably end up working in a DFW or Houston branch, which has both its pros and cons, compared to places like Boston, San Francisco, and, of course, New York.</p>

<p>According to the Wharton website, the average applicant has about a 12% chance of being admitted:</p>

<p>"A. Application volume for Wharton single and joint degrees averages around 5,500. Each year we admit about 650 students and matriculate about 500 students in the first-year class."</p>

<p>Wharton</a> Undergraduate Program: '+pageName+'</p>

<p>What would be the negative about working in houston as opposed to NYC, and what is DFW.</p>

<p>Are you sure you're from Texas? DFW is Dallas-Ft. Worth</p>

<p>If that is what it takes to be successful in business, then you've got me pegged.</p>

<p>I am from Texas, but Houston and we don't talk about dallas fort worth, its just dallas.</p>

<p>thats odd, DFW is known nationally. it is the name of the airport.</p>

<p>wow....very heated discussion. I would like to offer my own opinion without offending other people's and hopefully having mine respected as well. I am a senior in HS this year and am applying to both of the schools. I know an alumni from UT business honors at mccolms who contributes a substantial amount of money each year, so they are pushing to get me a full ride there. I have also applied to upenn, and hopefully will be accepted. I do not always think it is a matter of your undergraduate degree. Think about it, if I can get four years of college for free at a respectable business school (mccolms) and the honors program within that as well, then why would I want to pay an exorbanant amount of money at upenn for an undergrad degree? After doing well at UT (where they do have a very nice quality of life for those who care about living in the present as well as the future), I can apply to graduate programs across the country. Anyways, as of now, I am really liking UT.</p>

<p>If you're looking into a pre-professional program, Wharton hands down. The degree speaks for itself. Job placement in all major business fields is excellent.</p>

<p>if he wants to work in texas, then i would say mccombs. i mean wharton has like connections and its great if you are ambitious and want to work on like wall street but if you don't i don't see the point of going specifically when he can get into the honors business program which is no easy feat. (considering the 2% average rank and 1450+SAT m/v) </p>

<p>yes wharton without a doubt is a better school but if you are only aiming to stay in texas, go to mccombs cause it is regionally recognized there.</p>
