I’m currently stuck on Stanford and Penn waitlist but I should be getting a decision in the coming weeks. A couple of days ago, I posted a thread asking about their OCR, prestige, and placement the comments were pretty split. College isn’t all about IB/PE so which school has better parties, hotter girls, and better vibe in general.
I’m talking about Undergrad

You probably won’t get off either waitlist, so it seems like a waste to get your hopes up
Cmon man I’m just trying to be optimistic 😞
They waitlisted a ton of kids. Odds aren’t amazing
Though I personally know nothing about either school, I would think Stanford has the better vibes and girls given it's based in Cali.
Tbh I’m choosing Wharton because you’re in middle of philly so you pretty much access to girls from temple and from the city itself whereas at Stanford you’re in Menlo Park where the avg age is 40 and half the girls are lame ass 5s who don’t fuck after the date. Plus a lot of PE firms like Blackstone, silver lake recruit from Wharton
I’ll do anything to work at Blackstone man, Ive recently started watching a ton of their YouTube videos and I cant wait to take that dark filter photo and use it as my LinkedIn profile picture.
Based on your original - and asinine - post and your even more asinine reply above, I am going to go so far as to shoot myself in the throat with a jacketed hollow point bullet so that I can be absolutely sure that I will never have to interact with you. I hope the human race decides that, based on your personality and demeanor, your genetic material is so damaged and flawed that it would do more harm than good to propagate your genes into the next generation.
TLDR: Eat shit and die.
Don't understand how anyone would turn down Stanford unless it's for Harvard. You can get the same IB (and PE too) opportunities from any top school. KKR and SLP will recruit at Stanford just like they would recruit at Wharton, but you're also exposed to the rarest, coolest exclusive opportunities in Silicon Valley. Not to mention that you're still in high school and whatever you think, you don't know 100% you'll stick with finance for your life, so Stanford preserves your optionality because they do so well in everything.
Get in first, champ.
Stanford is a much cooler school. People living in your dorm will start billion-dollar startups. There is no school other than Harvard that even comes close to matching that.
now this is the kind of school comparison we need
none of that recruiting chances bs
I’m from UK and from here Stanford has a very strong name if that means anything to you hahaa
All of my friends at Stanford and UPENN have great social lives/party lives. Unless you are a true true partier (4+ nights a week), you will be equally satisfied at both
