<p>Hey Whats up? I am new to CC but have a few questions. I am a senior applying to both Princeton and <a href=“mailto:Wharton@Penn”>Wharton@Penn</a>. I really want to major in economics. I think maybe I want to go into investment banking or consulting. Any advice on comparing Princeton Econ dept. to Wharton’s? I heard that when Wharton grads get into the field their better experience and better at financial dealings then their HYPS econ counterparts and dont return for MBAs. And they hold a better starting salary. So any comments? I have visited both schools and like them both. BTW, I applied Early Decision</p>
<p>B U M P</p>
<p>wait, u applied ED to both?</p>
<p>No...Im not stupid</p>
<p>where did u apply ED to? Wharton?</p>
<p>well, if you already applied ED, it seems you've already made up your choice. I don't know what's your point.</p>
<p>I applied ED to Wharton but I am having second thoughts</p>
<p>Kinda late now.</p>
<p>i think u made the right choice</p>
<p>pfft, theres no freaking question man. wharton. </p>
<p>the reasons are innumerable. I'm tellin ya, come here, you shan't regret it!!!!</p>
<p>Go To Princeton!</p>
<p>oh hell no.</p>
<p>Princeton's campus is prettier. And they have more snob appeal.</p>
<p>...umm...i'm out of reasons to go to princeton.</p>
<p>Go to Wharton for business. Or even not business. Opportunity abounds at this growing institution</p>
<p>You can't go wrong with either school.</p>
<p>If you want to go into i-banking (or even consulting for that matter) you are better off at Wharton. If you talk to students who have gone through or are going through recruiting, you'll hear them say how many Wharton (and other Penn students) there are in final rounds compared to other schools.</p>
<p>You can also look at recruiting schedules to get an idea of how desirable Penn and Wharton students are. Goldman was on campus the first day of school this year, and the top banks and consulting firms generally come here first before they hit any other schools. Personally I feel that by going through Wharton you are ahead of the game compared to students at other schools.</p>
<p>If you're having doubts about Wharton I would talk to people there about what you are concerned about.</p>
<p>Eww. Princeton.. </p>
<p>actually, I can't lie, the campus is gorgeous but who wants to go to Woodrow Wilson's alma mater.. ew</p>
<p>Two different schools. both equally good.</p>
<p>^^^ I disagree. Ivy what?</p>
<p>Ooooooh, you are talking about academics... I see... :p</p>
<p>pton=no so bueno</p>
<p>For the record, you don't "major" in econ at Wharton. If you want to study econ, that's a major in the college. Wharton has concentrations, none of which is economics, although the Wharton undergraduate degree is officially a B.S. in economics.</p>
