Congrats on getting accepted into both these programs, they are great accomplishments! Both schools will allow you to break into virtually any field (with lots of hard work and hustle still of course).

Stern has great OCR considering it's located literally next to most banks, with that being said from what I've heard Penn CAS students are always encouraged to attend OCR at Wharton and you will have a plethora of opportunities to network and get your name across.

I think at the end of the day, if you want to work in NYC upon graduating, Stern is slightly better. If you may want to work anywhere else or in any other field, I'd say Penn CAS is the better option. At the end of the day you're going to get where you want to if you keep up the hard work!
