<p>i like and am very good at math but i hate reading/writing</p>
<p>i'm looking for a math realted major - i definitely like business (wharton is amazing) but i know that princeton has a great math program</p>
<p>what do u think is better and why?
i want to know which school is tougher once your in it and also, whihc would lead to more job opportunities - a busines major at wharton or a math major at princeton?</p>
<p>wharton or princeton???</p>
<p>business at wharton would lead to some nice job opps ;).</p>
<p>I dont see why someone would go to wharton to become a top manager somewhere</p>

<p>uhhh actually something like 80% of wharton students go into finance or ibanking (which isn't a bad thing) and make biggggg bucks, but wharton is nonetheless trying to promote entrepreneurship as a viable path for their students.</p>
<p>in the larger scope of things, i'm not gonna lie this is a tough decision. i'm biased, because i went to a summer program hosted by wharton. i don't know enough about pton to give you advice about it, but i'll tell you what i know about wharton and penn in general.</p>
<p>its amazing. haha. simply put. wharton boasts a world-class facility in huntsman hall (probably the best college facility in the nation) and provides a quality of business education that is unparalleled anywhere else in the world. bottom line: if you're in the top half of your class at wharton, all signs point to you getting greattttt internship opportunities and sexayy job offers.</p>
<p>the beauty of wharton, however, lies in its integration into the penn system as a whole. the college has made great strides in recent years and now provides a liberal arts education that is on par or better than its ivy league peers. the curriculum for wharton students has steadily shifted over the years so that students receive a much more balanced education, being immersed in both a world-class business education and an excellent liberal arts foundation.</p>
<p>it's not difficult to minor in mathematics, as minors only require 4 courses. double majoring between wharton and the college would not be impossible either, although personally i'd never do it because i feel like it really limits one's options. majors require 8 courses (i believe). then again if you truly love math (which isn't the case with me), it might suit your interests and talents to do so.</p>
<p>academics aside however, the most amazing thing about wharton and penn that struck me was its intellectual and social atmosphere. i've already mentioned the quality of the facilities, but during my short time there ( 4 weeks), i encountered a handful of extremely talented, amazingly passionate, genuinely helpful professors. only about an hour and a half with each of these faculty members allows just about any student to truly see brilliance and passion at its best. these professionals loved what they did.</p>
<p>so, there's no question as to the quality of the intellect at penn (and esp wharton). but in terms of the social atmosphere, i don't think it gets any better than penn students. i don't know what kind of peers you're looking for, but the ones i encountered were those who possessed a modest and genuine exterior in their words and actions, yet who held tremendously talented and amazing backgrounds and skill sets. i became friends with a lot of wharton students who were just regular people who you'd want to hang out with in high school, yet later i'd find that they were lead actor of their drama club, valedictorian of their class, or all-state star of their hockey team. and yet, with all these accomplishments, they won't ever hesitate to just have a fun conversation with you about whatever or give you some down to earth advice about college. these kids are amazing. it blows your mind.</p>
<p>so...i hope that helps you a little bit. i have no doubt that there are those out there who will speak just as passionately about princeton. as for me, i'm definitely applying wharton ED, but my prospects probably aren't as good as your's. if you're a rising junior, definitely do leadership in the business world (LBW) at wharton next summer. it'll be the an insanely fun and engaging four weeks. if you're gonna be a senior, good luck this fall my friend.</p>
<p>yeah...i have been pretty positive that i am going to apply ED to wharton (i'm an upcoming senior)</p>
<p>another question i have is...say i don't get into wharton and i have to choose between a top business program like NYU Stern vs Princeton</p>
<p>which would be better considering princetion doesn't have a specific business program, though they have ORFE whihc sounds amazing</p>
<p>in terms of job opps...what would be better in business..coming from stern or coming from orfe at princeton</p>

<p>incidentally, the CEO of eBay went to princeton. as did the CEO of google, and the founder and CEO of amazon. not bad for a modest-sized university with no undergraduate or graduate business programs.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>close enough</p>
<p>hahaha duuuude. nyu stern shouldnt' be put in the same sentence as princeton. a solid liberal arts undergrad education at a top 3 institution like pton easily beats any undergrad business program except wharton.'</p>
<p>econ majors at HYPS get just as good job offers as wharton students do, although there's no lie wharton is a beast of a school</p>
<p>yeah...taht was basically my mindset...u have to take pton over any other school except wharton</p>
<p>so i think i'm doing ED to wharton</p>
<p>and if i don't get it....pton would be my next choice...ORFE looks really good</p>
<p>If you are going into a realm of finance...
I personally like the Princeton atmosphere much more and getting an economics/math degree with a certificate in finance (even a master certificate in finance) is comparable if not better to a wharton degree. It really comes down to which atmosphere that you like better.</p>
