Wharton or Harvard '28?

Hey plebs, recently got off the waitlist at both, trying to decide where to go. I'm looking to maximize prestige + body count + avoid all the skinny short ugly finance robots who can't keep up with me at afters. 

Some context, I currently go to a Tier Mount Olympus boarding school (Andover/Exeter/Deerfield) and have connections to all the top clubs at H/W, specifically targeting WITG/GPS/Black Diamond due to my strong relationships there. I'm a pretty popular guy who plays varsity lax/crew/rugby (keeping vague for anonymity), so I have an in with all the alum (currently '25 and '26) finance robots with murked faces and brutal heights who want to associate with me for my status.

Not sure which school has better Greek Life and nightlife scene, heard Boston nightlife is pretty terrible. Meanwhile, I can go to Penn State or NYC for the weekend if I went to Wharton and tear up the hotter girls there.

I'm 6'6, Anglo-Norman + Swiss, heterochromia (left eye is green, right eye is gray/light blue), dark brown hair and pale skin. Think Henry Cavill/Ian Somerhalder/Chace Crawford face-wise. 

Where do you think I can get the highest body count and prestige? Don't really care about exit opps or placement since daddy is one of the biggest clients of top BBs/EBs' NYC offices given he's a GP at a MF. The fact that my uncle is an equity partner at a top SM HF doesn't hurt either, tons of FIG/sponsors groups that they can just threaten to press for lower fees on unless they take me as an intern.

Not looking for short/ugly/skinny guys to comment below and vomit their shit takes all over my thread, please only talk to me if you're a 6'3+ frat star who benches 225+ and has more than 50 bodies.
