Wharton v. Boston College (Honors)

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>I've been lucky enough to be accepted by both, and see pros and cons in both schools.</p>

<p>I've visited BC, and am very comfortable with the program. The honors program seems like it provides a lot of personal attention, and I would be able to stand out.</p>

<p>UPenn is also a great school, but I only spent 1/2 day there during the summer, so I'm not as familiar with it, but of course it's Wharton. ;) But, I feel like I'd probably have a lot harder time sticking out at Wharton, and connecting with professors.</p>

<p>Is the wall street recruiting at Boston College CSOM Honors at all comparable to Wharton? </p>

<p>And when that time comes, is it better to be in the top 5% of BC, or just an average student at Wharton? </p>

<p>What about getting into a top Grad school (Harvard Business, Wharton, etc)?</p>

<p>Thanks for the thoughts.</p>

<p>In terms of WS placement, nothing compares to Wharton (perhaps barring H) at the undergrad level.</p>

<p>But regardless of WS, don’t choose BC thinking you’ll be able to place in the top 5%. BC is no community college. I have a friend who consistently used to be in highest honor roll in high school and he’s averaging a B at BC.</p>

<p>Unless you’re getting significantly more scholarship money from BC, I would choose Wharton hands down.</p>
