<p>Hi I'm a high school senior trying to decide what I want to do with my life. As of now, I could probably go to a public institution completely free. I've been trying to decide whether, if I even get in, it's worth it to pay all that money to attend Wharton or if it would be a better decision to go in state. Any thoughts/insight from any current student or alumni would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>As a student who would have been paying only 20,000 at my state university for a top ten business school, I chose to pay about 200,000 for the number one. If moneys an issue, go to your state school. If it’s not as big as a deal, there is no place better than Wharton.</p>

<p>I was deciding between MD for free and Wharton for full price. I’m at Wharton because:

  1. I chat with representatives from top firms
  2. I chat with smartest kids in the world
  3. I am getting a degree widely considered the equivalent of an MBA
  4. I am first in line for any and all finance jobs</p>

<p>Ok. Thanks for the help! Anyone else?</p>

<p>From a career standpoint, choosing a state school over Wharton would be a very bad decsion</p>
