Wharton vs. Columbia

<p>Hi, I have been accepted into Wharton and Columbia as a transfer student. I am having the hardest time deciding which school to attend. I would appreciate any advice you guys can give me.</p>

<p>My original plan was to attend law school right after college and become a lawyer (probably a corporate lawyer- m&a, etc.) It is my understanding that a liberal arts education is key to being successful in law school (logical thinking, vast amounts of reading, papers, etc.) I feel that Columbia College is a better fit for a liberal arts education than Wharton. I am afraid that I will not be able to delve into many different areas of studies at Wharton, given its rigorous business-oriented curriculum. On the other hand, Wharton is the #1 business school, an opportunity of a lifetime. An education at Wharton will definitely set me up for success in many areas, as business is integrated in virtually any job market. But I haven't heard of many Wharton grads attending law school (don't they usually get jobs right after college at investment banking or consulting firms and perhaps go through MBA later on?)</p>

<p>My main interests are: political science, government, philosophy, but I am also not unattracted to business (Finance, economics, etc.) In the discipline of business, I am especially interested in management. </p>

<p>Please help me! Thank you!! Feel free to post any questions that I can answer.</p>

<p>wharton no question… when people hear columbia it no doubt is very impressive… but wharton is on a whole new level…go to wharton</p>

<p>i would say wharton for sure…plus penn seems pretty flexible in course choices</p>

<p>think long term</p>

<p>Columbia for prelaw.</p>
