<p>Hi all, i have been accepted to both Wharton and Princeton RD</p>

<p>First of all, i am pretty certain that i want to study business ( econ is my most favorite class in high school) And Wharton is my first choice ( I apply ED but deferred and then accepted) I am a Chinese studetn studying in the US and i would like to return to work in my hometown after graduation</p>

<p>However, i start to hesitate after i got into Princeton... it seems to be a great great school ( i would never thought i could get in)... If i go to Princeton, i would do an econ major and proceed to MBA</p>

<p>I have seen lots of opinions that undergrad business degree is not necessary.. one should explore more and then go for MBA</p>

<p>But i am definitely have a passion for business.... So if i go to Wharton, i might want to get an MBA at, say, Harvard Business School (evern though some says Wharton undergrad does not always need MBA)</p>

<p>I also want to have internships with leading firms on Wall Street ( I know Wharton is so well represented on the street too)</p>

<p>I apologize if i sounds so indecisive.. i love Wharton, but i feel it is hard to turn a wonderful school like Princeton down.</p>

<p>Any one has an input? Thanks so much!! :))</p>

<p>So full disclosure: I was accepted into Wharton ED, so take my response with a grain of salt. </p>

<p>Honestly, I’d say Wharton is the better school IF you are dead sure that you want to study business. I say this simply because of the opportunities at Wharton; its more recognized in the business world and there are a huge number of Wharton alums around the world who like picking people from the school that they went to. There are plenty of internships at Wharton for business and almost all the seniors I have talked to say that it was not difficult for them to find one. Princeton is much less represented on wall street and in the business world (Princeton doesn’t even have a business school). Just in terms of sheer opportunites in business and the training that you get, I’d say that Wharton is the better school if you want to go into business.</p>
