Wharton Undergrad prestige

Hi,

A friend of mine just got accepted to the Wharton School of Business (undergrad) and I am trying to explain the prestige that comes along with the degree. He is considering other lower tier business schools (UNC, Lehigh) and Cornell. Does anyone know of some convincing articles that show the stark difference in career success/opportunities afforded to Wharton graduates. Or any other way to present Wharton to a kid who is not thinking long-term?

Thanks,
PR
