Wharton & UChicago

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Trying to make a decision. I was fortunate enough to be accepted into both schools as a transfer student. There are things I love and things I don't about each school, especially with the student body.</p>

<p>They are both excellent in their respective fields of my interests (Wharton Finance, UChicago Economics)</p>

<p>I am exploring all career options, from ibanking and consulting to entrepreneurship and law.</p>

<p>With Chicago I love the whole idea of a broad understanding -- being able to coherently handle a conversation about plato, religion, physics, and politics.</p>

<p>With Wharton -- the name itself speaks volumes for the quality of education and the drive of the student population (although i'm not entirely keen on the cut-throat student body).</p>

<p>and i don't enjoy the grade deflation associated with either.</p>

<p>If anyone needs any more information, don't hesitate to ask! just trying to make an informed decision</p>

<p>My ultimate career goal will be business related, but with the countless routes there, the decision can be somewhat overwhelming.</p>

<p>Any advice or information is both encouraged and appreciated.</p>

<p>Wharton...best business education possible. It will still give you a broad education--not only does Wharton require about 8-10 CAS classes for your degree, but many Whartonites choose to dual-degree in the College or SEAS anyways (so you can build that rounded core if you like...Chicago just forces it on you). And the social life is much better.</p>

<p>P.S. Wharton has the clear edge with career opportunities (only HYPS and Stern can really compare when it comes to placement in finance), though Chicago is still well-recruited.</p>

<p>If you're hardcore about business, I also think Wharton is the way to go.
Less relevant, but having been admitted to Wharton is more impressive.</p>
