Wharton M&T (+20k) vs Harvard

A friend of mine got into Wharton for the M&T program (engineering and Wharton - same program Kenneth Asness did) and Harvard - thing is Harvard is 20k a year cheaper. Where do you think he should go ? Is M&T really worth 80k over a good school like Harvard ?

 

Seems like a Biastoise question.

I feel like Wharton > Harvard.

I don't see how this is so obvious. 80k is chump change compared to some of the things you will be able to do with that degree.

Ok. This guy is obviously a troll. Mods, please remove these trolls from WSO. They're damaging the integrity of this great site.

Since both schools offer need-based financial aid, money shouldn't be an issue. And actually Harvard has one of the best financial aid programs in the country.

Academically, I know a few who turned down harvard for M&T. The kids in that program are freaking brilliant, and you get sick job opportunities coming out. Most of them don't even end up getting an MBA.

 

Money us an issue, Penn's financial aid is not that generous, especially if you are an international student. Almost without exception, the people I know who got into both turned down Harvard fro M&T, I ask because the aid Penn's given him just isn't competitive with Harvard so I'm wondering whether M&T is still worth it since it is exactly what he wants to do, is more elite, but is way more expensive (unless Penn tries to match Harvard).
