Bern, do you accept private messages?

Because they may not be recruited by the same employers that recruit from Wharton...?

How hard is it to get into Wharton vs. just getting into Upenn?

RML

Michigan Ross, MIT Sloan and Berkeley Haas are just a few points short to match Wharton.

My son is preferred admit to Ross as a freshmen and we are in state....he was admited to other top private schools but he is going to U of M. One things these silly arguements don't mention is the relative cost. Wharton would be $220,000 over 4 years , but Ross will be $90,000. A top private would have put us and him in considerable debt and now, being a smart "business student" he can graduate with no debt.

And also gets to learn in a beautifull new building, and the rankings should keep going up for Ross.

or getting a full ride at wharton :P

som1, Wharton does not give out merit scholraships, only need-based financial aid. If a Michigan resident comes from a family with a relatively low income, chances are, in-staters will find Ross significantly more affordable than Wharton.

carlson school of management is a great school if you are looking for internship opportunities if you don't mind staying in the minnesota weather. the school can't really compare to the top b schools but they have had amazing employment rates after graduation. can't say about this year with the horrible economy but the past few years more than 95 percent of their grads get job offers/grad school and often from the fortune 500 companies in minneapolis.

UVA has one heck of a business undergrad program, ranked #1 in U.S World report or something like that (verification?)

my brother graduated from upenn, and they have a plan to reduce the debt for all students as much as possible prior to graduation. It seems vague, but i trust it.
