How good is wharton undergrad compared to other HYPSM for different fields?
I have a 36 act, 4.0, blah blah blah, I also work on buy acquisitions deals as a high schooler and we're just closing a deal north of 400m, yeah small I know. I'm applying early decision to Wharton and have decided on this for a while now. It's always been my dream to go there because of the sheer name recognition that it gives. But now I'm getting cold feet. Because I feel that if I go to Wharton, I'll be stuck in finance forever, which I'll probably do anyway, but I just don't like being confined. I'm thinking of VC/IB/HF/PE/Quant. How good is Wharton for all of these individually compared to HYPSM? Also, how good is a Wharton degree for tech/fintech because I need other exit opportunities.
Also yes this is my first post, I used to be on reddit. And yes, I still doubt if I'm even good enough to get into these top schools; today, even perfect stats can't anywhere near guarantee admission. If I don't get into any of these schools, I dont know what I'd do to be completely honest. Get my ass beat by my parents? Probably.
Here are some career paths that Penn grads take:

I'm not sure if you're trolling, but if you're not, dude once you're in a top school, you can pursue almost anything. Literally anything within business.
Ah, I can see how it came off as trollish, sorry. I'm just really nervous with ED deadlines coming up in less than a week. I was just worried about the horrid work-life balance that seems universal in literally any finance field.
If you're competitive for these schools, I would personally early to harvard or stanford in case you change your mind of what you want to do in the future
I personally think I have a much better chance at Wharton ED than I do harvard or stanford REA. REA doesn't even give that much of an admissions boost compared to Wharton ED, this combined with the fact that my profile is hyper-focused on business lends me to believe that I'd be shooting myself in the foot if I did anything else to be honest.
maybe try harvard/stanford early then chicago ed2 if you like chicago?
If you have to ask then you haven't done your homework. W saves you from going back for a MBA. Even HYP grads have to get a MBA from H or W.
My boss went to wharton and then to chicago for his mba? I thought even wharton grads need to get an mba at some point down the road.
