<p>Wharton (Huntsman)
vs
Ross (Preferred admit)</p>
<p>Keep in mind the city/the people/ life in general on top of the academics.
Furthermore, if I go to Ross, I'll be the first class to use their new building . Anyone have specific information on the new building by any chance?</p>
<p>The Huntsman students together with the M&T students have the best job placement by far of all Wharton students, which is saying a lot. The huntsman kids get both the College and Wharton experience, as well as form a very tight-knit community.</p>
<p>As for new buildings, John M. Huntsman Hall is only couple of years old, from 2002 I think.</p>
<p>In the listed companies for dual degree students with Wharton and the College, any time it says "International Studies" it is a Huntsman program student.</p>
<p>As you can see, the placement is stellar - just top level firms. Some even got hired by MBA-only hedge funds and PE groups.</p>
<p>^^UPenn is a great school and would still maintain the IVY league level of prestige, but yes, losing their top program would probably be detrimental to how people see the school (as it would be for any school, without exception).</p>
<p>Actually, I think that if Penn didn't have Wharton, the perceived prestige of the rest of the school would go up. As it is now, Wharton overshadows several of Penn's other absolute top-notch programs.</p>
<p>Wharton by far. You want a school for the quality of the education or the building? I admit I was excited about Hunstman Hall, but now I find it a bore and HATE spending time in there. Even if Michigan builds and amazing building for the Ross School, its no reason to pick it over a better program</p>
