Wharton ED vs Stanford EA

Hello fellow monkeys,

I am a high school senior trying to decide whether to apply to Wharton ED or Stanford SCEA. Currently I have started two companies in high school and am looking to get FDA approval for a medical device that I have created (might take a while). I have one issued and two pending US patents, along with a 4.7 GPA and 1480 out of 1600 SAT. I am also mixed race African and Caucasian (although I look white).

My main interests career wise are either entrepreneurship or private equity. Which school would be better based on my profile for applying early to: Stanford or Wharton? I live on the east coast so my parents want me to go to Wharton, but I am not opposed to either option. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Stanford for entrepreneurship and Wharton for PE. However, in my opinion you're completely missing a huge part of the college decision process. You need to go where you will be happy and fit in with the student body. You don't even know what you will want to be doing when you graduate college so don't base your decision solely on that. College is supposed to be fun after all
