Columbia or Wharton for Undergraduate ?
I was accepted to both Columbia University and UPenn Wharton for undergrad. But I don't know which to pick. Any insights would be great, and please specify whether you have affiliations to either school/acknowledge your biases. Keep the following in mind: 1. I definitely want to pursue...
Why is Stern disliked so much, but Wharton praised?
From all the research I've done, they really seem to be much more similar than they are different. Both very finance/wall street focused, recruited heavily, competitive, selective admissions. Other than the Ivy League tag, the financial aid (Penn definitely has better aid if you need it than NYU),...

Stern out of USNews Top 10, Darden in !!!
Not sure why this didn't happen earlier, but Stern definitely does not deserve to be in the Top 10. USNews finally did the right thing and pushed them out of the Top 10. http://poetsandquants.com/2015/03/03/darden-slips-back-into-u-s-news-to… Before USNews releases their 2016 rankings, I will...

Stern MBA deadlines
Stern has 4 deadlines. I've always been under the impression that 1st and 2nd rounds have around the same level of competititon, 3rd round is where it becomes a crap shoot, especially for a middle of the road type of applicant. How are we to interpret Sterns deadline structure? Are Rounds 1 and 2 =...
