Honestly I dont think the numbers used in the article are convincing (They were just playing with percentage change).
But if people are less interested in getting into finance and that Wharton still maintains the reputation of being a financier nurturer, would it be put below Harvard and Standfard in the pecking order?

Wharton has always been below Stanford and Harvard in the pecking order...

 

Honestly it would take really terrible next 5 years for that statement to really hold fort! but reputation wise, it still is way up the pecking order with MBA hopefuls....
