Wharton school of the university of Pennsylvania vs NYU STERN (Undergraduate)

Good evening,

I got accepted at both Wharton school of the university of Pennsylvania and NYU Stern undergraduate. I have no preference for job location cause first I will complete my post graduation (MBA) from USA.

Which school should I go with?

Both are pretty lukewarm choices but if you want the best trajectory, look into DeVry University- they send multiple candidates into banking across all bulge bracket [Chase, BofA, WF, The Farmer’s Bank]

ill say this before my answer. both the TOP TOP schools for Wall Street placement. you wont find it hard to land a job you'll like if you do the right stuff there 

with that being said there's a reason people say college is the best four years of your life. i would factor in the culture and the lifestyle you'll have with the school. me personally, I would choose PENN. ivy league brand and greek life is pretty big there which is what i look for personally. 

but with that being said everyone's different. i wouldn't personally want to go to a school with no campus and a lack greek life with NYU has. If ur attracted the nyc lifestyle just remember ull prob be interning and working FT at nyc so there is always time to experience the city

but LOL u have an amazing problem, good luck homie

When you asked about Stern vs Oxford, people told you to go to Oxford. When Oxford vs Wharton, you were told Wharton has the edge. So, if it comes down to Stern vs Wharton, go to Wharton. Stern may be a top tier school with great placement as a poster above mentioned, but it doesn’t get better than Wharton (and Harvard) at the undergraduate level
