<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>First of all, congrats to all who got into their dream school!</p>
<p>So I got the good news on Thursday, and I must say, I was really, really surprised. I didn't expect either Wharton and Yale to want me at all, not to mention both! - which means now I am stuck with this terribly difficult dilemma of having to decide between the two of them. Any opinions would be very very welcome! I need as much info as I can before I make a decision, although it is a month away.</p>
<p>I really like business and I believe that Wharton will help me achieve my aspirations in this field, seeing as it IS the top business school in, well, pretty much anywhere. I know that my chances for getting into a big firm or whatnot are high after Wharton - I will probably not have to worry about not getting a good job when get out of university, which is so essential nowadays considering the economy and such. I come from an immigrant middle-class family with no connections whatsoever, so I will need whatever edge I can get to come out top in the business world. Wharton's flexibility and unique curriculum are great pluses as well.</p>
<p>However, I am in love with Yale - as a school, because of its awesome atmosphere as an academically top-notch school with incredibly engaging students. I will say right off the bat that I like Yale better than Penn as a SCHOOL (as opposed to a program), and I think I will really enjoy an education at Yale with fellow Yalies. I am good at the humanities as well, and I had thought about going to Law, but I am not as certain about deciding to pursue something like that so early in my life. Also, I do not have any other humanities-oriented majors that I am interested in right now. But practically speaking, I understand that Wharton will probably get me further career-wise, but I am afraid that Wharton's cut-throat competition will make my undergrad life less enjoyable.</p>
<p>Sorry about the long thread! And thanks in advance!</p>
