Q&A Student Attending One of Penn/Wharton's Coordinated Dual Degree Programs (LSM, M&T, VIPER, Huntsman, etc.)
Hello! I'm here to give an insider view to anyone who might be interested in business school, plus, another skill. Ambidexterity (having both science/engineering knowledge and business knowledge) can be extremely valuable for some careers, such as entrepreneurship! I was admitted to several T10...

New to WSO + Industries—Looking for Insight into Consulting + Finance
Hey everyone, I never thought I’d be here, but after my first internship experience at a boutique revenue operations consulting firm this summer, my interest in finance/consulting has grown tremendously. I didn’t exactly know where this post was applicable since it touches a few sectors, so I...
Best Major for UPenn College of Arts and Sciences
Hey guys, I previously transferred into UPenn's College of Arts and Sciences from another uni and I hope to work on Wall Street and (most likely) in Sales & Trading in the future. This means Wharton's out of the picture but I can still take a few courses there. What is the best major within the...

I want to break into either consulting or I-banking. Trying to decide which school is the best fit to break into consulting or I-Banking. Do most firms see PennLPS like Columbia? A lot of my friends from Columbia have broken into investment banking. Just curious.

I would be a math major at Penn or Columbia. At Northwestern I would be able to do a Math/Econ double major. Which of these schools have...
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),...

Hello, I am currently a sophomore at The Wharton School who is currently in the INROADS program and I was curious as to if they have the ability to place students into investment banks for internships.

The Slow "Mediocritization" of the Bulge Brackets
Andy note: This comment was originally posted in Your "Target Schools" lists are outdated and off-base and wanted to open this topic up for debate again.

Engineering Undergrad
Where to go
Why is McKinsey's Sophomore Diversity Leaders Internship only open to students at Harvard, Yale, Penn and Duke?
http://www.mckinsey.com/Careers/Apply/University_… This restriction seems kind of random. Does anyone know if they are strict about it or have plans to apply anyway if not from one of the aforementioned schools? Also, does McK offer any other networking opportunities outside of formal recruiting?
Penn Kid Blast Email
I'm sure this has to have been posted already, but have you guys seen the Penn kid's blast email to half of the Wall Street community and his subsequent apologies? Crazy how fast it got around... poor kid has essentialy blacklisted himself in Chiang-like fashion...
Emailing Multiple Firms Not A Good Idea

UMich Ross, Cornell AEM, Duke Trinity or Penn CAS for IBD
Hey guys, How would you rank these 4 schools based on the amount of analysts sent into front office roles (primarily IB) at the top banks? Also, if any of you have evidence (SA lists at banks, access to resume books, etc.) to back up your statements, then that would be great. Thanks a lot!!
Will Wall Street hire me???
I'm graduating with a degree in economics from University of Pennsylvania next spring. I'm basically a B student; I have a few A's, mostly in math courses, but my econ courses are mostly B or B-. Will Wall Street hire me? Or, do they only want A students. I'm really hoping to be an analyst on Wall...

Is it smart to be a visiting student at an ivy?
I'm looking into a program as a visiting student to an ivy league school. I've chosen UPenn, but my understanding is that it is available at other ivys too.
