| Wharton! Harvard doesn't even have an undergrad business school...only grad. Economics just doesn't compare.
Other Ivy with a UG b-school - Cornell. That's it. | |

| That's not true. In fact, I'd heard people said "business" at the undergrad level is mostly a joke if the school is not one of the top ones. | |

| Both alumni clubs do very well around the world. At least in the business field, they are the best of the best. | |

| ^ Plus, Wharton grads get the advantage of having both a Wharton alumni club AND a Penn alumni club in most major cities. | |

| Now, tell me if I'm wrong, but, uh...
Economics =/= business.
UPenn (Wharton) > All other B-schools (academically, for sure), regardless of rankings. | |
