Wharton vs. Kellogg APEX Program

Curious people’s thoughts on placement into PE from Wharton vs. Kellogg’s APEX program. I’m accepted at both right now and trying to decide. Wharton has the brand name but I’ve heard it’s quite competitive landing PE roles as a lot of Wharton kids are all going for the same thing. Kellogg’s APEX program is new, seems to have specialized resources for PE, and everyone in the program gets a PE job post-grad but curious people’s thoughts comparing the two. Anybody in the APEX program currently? Understand it’s quite a new program.
