<p>Lol hey guys calm down this isn’t the place to fight…lets be civil 
</p>
<p>I’m seriously considering UC Berkeley and UChicago for grad school. My parents won’t let me leave the east coast for undergrad unless I’m going to Stanford bc it costs a lot to move and get home, etc. they’re willing to do it or S bc they’re biased. Otherwise I would obviously apply to Chicago and probably a few others I.e. My friend who goes to WashU for econ loves it</p>
<p>I’m not in it for prestige… If I were I would not transfer from W which I know has a lot of name recognition. W was my number 1 choice out of high school… i applied ED and got in but i would have chosen it over any other school in the country. Now a few years later im just looking for a good econ dept and I really like the economists who are at HYSM…</p>
<p>I would like to hear from someone who transferred from b school to econ to see if they think it was worth it. I love W, but is there a big difference between business and econ? Did it help with grad school? I’m interested in transferring bc I feel out of place… I literally don’t know a single whartonite who wants to go for a PhD. But I’m not even sure if that’s a bad thing… Maybe the business background will be advantageous! </p>
<p>Thanks for the advice on penn econ. Maybe I’ll transfer or even try a dual degree. I didn’t think about it bc I don’t know any economists at Penn… But it definitely seems like a great option. If anyone has done a dual degree with penn and Wharton for econ let me know. I’d like to know if you thought it was repetitive or worth it… I know hbs prof Lauren Cohen did it!</p>
