Yeah I’m currently a Wharton student. I thought it was for me back in hs and maybe it still is… But I wanted to know if anyone had transferred before. I applied ED (Wharton was my top choice bc I wanted to just be an ibanker)… But now I wish I had taken more time to think it through. I’ve had concerns about the prestige and that kinda thing but its mainly just been curiosity of what other people think… In my mind Wharton is just as good as HYPSM or anything else (and a lot of people both in academia and on the street agree with me) especially for finance and ibanking, but it might not fit my needs if I want a more theoretical approach to econ and a liberal arts education. Ik plenty of kids who turned down HYPSM for W because they thought it was MORE prestigious… But they’re hardcore business and after some time at Wharton idk if bschool was right for me.
