<p>It’s the Wharton halo effect. :)</p>
<p>See? Here’s an example of the unique synergy between Wharton and the other undergraduate schools at Penn. Its presence is truly a net positive for all undergrads, despite attempts by some Penn detractors (not including Cue7 in this, of course ;)) to cast its “preprofessional” influence in a negative light. The future PhDs and professors are well represented in Penn’s undergraduate student body (I personally know several from my time at Penn who are currently on the faculties of such schools as Stanford, MIT, and Johns Hopkins), but thanks to Wharton, the peerless on-campus recruiting at Penn is also available to liberal arts undergrads who want to make use of it. Because of Wharton, there are many firms that participate in on-campus recruiting of undergrads at Penn, but that do NOT recruit on-campus at Yale or Brown. And as chrisw has pointed out in the past, participation in that robust on-campus recruiting is not limited to Wharton undergrads, but is available to all Penn undergrads.</p>
