@Penn95 Why are you putting down your own school? “even maybe Stanford” Like as if it’s no one? I’m sure you know people who turned down Stanford for Wharton…I know at least 3 (I say at least b/c what schools you turned down for Wharton isn’t a conversation I have too often with people, but I know 3 kids as a fact who did). “Very very few” for Harvard…again that’s an exaggeration. You are right that most people prefer HYPSM to Wharton, but there are a lot of us (me being one of them - I applied ED not RD b/c I knew I wanted to go to Wharton) that had Wharton as our #1 and many of us (not me b/c I was ED but others) who turned down one or more of HYPSM schools to go to Wharton (one kid I know turned down 4 out of the 5 for Wharton).
