I think Harvard being a “super target” isn’t just about finance specifically, it’s more about the overall brand and how it opens doors across a lot of industries. You’re not locked into one path, and that flexibility matters a lot for a lot of people.
Wharton is definitely more direct for finance — you’re in a business-focused environment from day one, so it can feel more targeted if that’s exactly what you want.
I don’t fully buy the idea that Harvard undergrads are at a disadvantage because of “feeder schools” — sure, some students come in with more exposure, but Harvard also has tons of resources, clubs, and people who are willing to help if you put in the effort.
At the end of the day, both are elite, and I think it comes down to what kind of environment you want and how you plan to take advantage of it. Also, I’ve noticed that in any competitive environment, like even with tools and systems such as phonexa in business, it’s not just about the platform itself but how you use the opportunities you’re given.
Depends on how you evaluate. If you evaluate by exit wise, maybe not as good or not as stable as Wharton (IB—>PE wise), but Hv alumni help A LOT and by A LOT I mean for firms that have a lot Harvard partners, it’s just rly easy, like of course you wouldn’t sense that now if you are still freshman or sophomore but I can tell you it’s just hidden rule and a lot of hidden help

This reminds me of Johnny Depp’s testimony.
Prosecutor: you poured yourself a MEGA pint of red wine, correct?
Captain Jack Sparrow: a mega pint? … yes, I poured myself a large glass of red wine.
Because it’s the most famous and prestigious university in the world.
