<p>Uhh you seem to be seriously misinformed about Penn. I would recommend browsing the website and admissions information to understand it more.</p>

<p>In addition, an MBA is entirely unnecessary if you wish to enter finance. People typically work for a few years after college before attending business school. Do some research and figure out what business school is really for.</p>

<p>So all you should care about is undergrad. For that you have to ask yourself what kind of education and preparation you want. If you want a business degree with practical, pre-professional classes, apply to schools that offer business majors (Penn - Wharton, UC Berkeley - Haas, NYU - Stern, Michigan - Ross, etc). But you can also get into finance with a liberal arts degree, typically in economics, but I know people who've gotten great jobs with degrees in history, math, even engineering. In those cases you can go to any great institution with strong academics.</p>

<p>haha i think the concern is trying to get into wharton..go there for undergrad if you can!
i really think an MBA won't hurt if you're willing to dedicate two years. there's no need for it if you're already doing well.</p>

<p>"is wharton more prestigious than upenn?"
No. Wharton is a part of Penn. Please read up on the school, this is a ridiculous statement. It's like asking: is harvard b-school more prestigious than harvard?</p>

<p>how about you go to undergrad school first then figure out where you want to go to business school, if you still even want to at that point. and i hope you're grades are good enough because upenn (especially wharton), and harvard anything are extremely difficult to get in to.</p>
