Wharton v Princeton v Yale v MIT

<p>Son know he wants to study business and has been accepted into some really great schools but now comes the decision. I know fit is a big issue and so I told him he needs to narrow his list to three so he can visit in time to make a decision.</p>

<p>He also is waiting for a decision from Stanford tomorrow (brother is a CS major attending) and so would like to be with his brother. They have always been close.</p>

<p>Problem is that money is an issue. Although we can work with all packages offered to this point, Yale's offer is much more generous. </p>

<p>Here is the way I rank them for a business undergrad:
Wharton
Stanford - if he gets in
MIT
Princeton
Yale
Columbia - also got in
Dartmouth - also got in</p>

<p>I may be wrong here but that is just my opinion.</p>

<p>Only problem is that Wharton's and MIT's offers are about $10K a year less than all the others which are similar. Is Wharton really that much better. Although we would send him, it would be a financial burden to a certain degree... income just over $100K so an extra $10K per year is a lot.</p>

<p>Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>If he gets into Wharton, that $40K will probably be nothing once he starts working. They are all great schools though, so I’m not sure it makes that much of a difference.</p>
