<p>Why is Wharton so popular when average starting salary is around $61,000 while than USC Marshall school of business has an average starting salary of the most recent graduating class was around $75,134. By popular, i mean in terms of rankings and such. </p>

<p>The website you are showing is for the USC Graduate School of Business, their MBA program, not their undergrad business school.</p>

<p>You are comparing the average salary of a Bachelors degree from Wharton to the salary of an MBA from USC.</p>

<p>Haha well alright, thanks for clearing that up. Does anyone know USC undergrad starting salary for their school of business, Marshall?</p>

<p>ok well lets not talk about graduate school. undergraduate wise, upenn has a median starting salaray of $61,001 and USC has $53,000. I mean the difference isn’t as substantial as the graduate schools, so is undergraduate really not that important?</p>

<p>Would you rather have $8000 or $0?</p>

<p>$61,001 does not factor in ibanking bonuses, which would be higher at wharton since there are more NYC bankers from there</p>
