@Plz2Halp obviously Penn is stronger for finance, CS and Yale is stronger for politics. For economics Penn is a better deal especially if you wanna go into business because of the better recruiting and the fact that you can supplement your econ degree with as many business classes from wharton as you can take, and also the fact that Penn Econ and Yale econ departments are pretty much on par from a rankings standpoint. Also you should consider what you want to do with your degrees. if you are planning to enter the business world then Penn is prob the best option since the recruiting there is second to none (along with Harvard). If you wanna enter politics straight away, then Yale might be a better option. Many politicians go into business first tho to get a solid background and then transition into politics. Lastly, you should also consider what kind of college experience you want. Penn has a very vibrant, busy campus, with a great social life and huge variety of extracurricular involvement. Yale tends to be more quiet and I am sure there are many things to get involved with there too.
