The great thing about Sloan is that it can offer a very quantitative/technical background to finance, which is the path I want to pursue.



I think to pursue a career as a quant, a graduate degree in financial engineering/quantitative finance is almost a prerequisite (there might be exceptions, im not sure)…I’m assuming you’re going to apply to such graduate programs, so it won’t make that much of a difference where you do your undergrad…that being said, I think Wharton is a better choice because it might be easier to clinch internships from there and you can probably take the same math/computer science classes in both, Penn and MIT…also, Wharton has a stronger alumni network in finance
