Question About Choosing College For Ibanking [Thxs for Advice]

I'd say get off the waitlist

You have a brilliant future ahead of you. Maybe you should give another great kid a chance
(That is if you're happy with Wharton)

For banking, there is basically no difference between Harvard and Wharton. For other fields there may be. So in case you want to change your mind during the next 4 years, Harvard is probably the better bet. But hey, Wharton is great too so you're in a nice situation.

Wharton is a banking factory and it will continue to be the standard for producing top bankers for years to come. If you're sure you want to go into investment banking, Wharton is the way to go.

I'd do west coast, hit up stanford. I got rejected, but if I had been accepted, I would have gone there hands down.

Harvard and Wharton are more or less equal.

From what I've read on these threads, Harvard and Wharton grads are more likely to go into the finance industry after graduation. Princeton, Yale, MIT and Stanford are probably the next tier behind Harvard and Wharton.
