<p>That is definitely a good point I’d say… if I go to Wharton I can probably get a better business job easier instead of fighting for it at Williams. Though I’m sure both offer pretty damn good career prospects.</p>
<p>^ I would disagree with that statement.</p>
<p>Well, wouldn’t you think Williams and Wharton both have very competitive students, especially in the business classes I will be inevitably taking?</p>
<p>Yes, they would both have “strong” students. Williams doesn’t have that direct competition factor. I understand it that at Wharton classes are scaled, but it doesn’t work that way everywhere.</p>
<p>What I meant is that if you think that one school or another will be better for taking it easy, then you’re wrong. Wharton is Wharton not because of the brand name, but because the people who come out of it are motivated and well prepared. This means that anywhere you go you’ll have to fight, both during and after. I wouldn’t go to Wharton and assume that better prospects will just come to you because it’s Wharton. College is the launching point, not highschool.</p>
<p>if you’re honestly considering williams over wharton, then you don’t really belong at wharton in the first place.</p>
<p>^^^^best piece of advice on this thread</p>
<p>And why do you say that, Choklit Rain?</p>
<p>the type of personality that thrives at wharton would never, ever consider going out to a small school in rural massachusetts. that type of person wants to be in the center of everything and competing with the best.</p>
<p>Then again, you seem to be misconstruing my small school, rural ideal as some sign that I wouldn’t do well at Wharton, rather than the fact that I grew up in such an environment and it just gives me comfort. I enjoy nature, that is where the “rural” aspect is enjoyable. Not to mention you act as if people at Williams aren’t also “the best.” Regardless, it seems kind of silly in light of much more important issues in choosing which school I will attend.</p>
