I know students who turned Harvard down for Wharton or for the combined programs like M&T or Huntsman.

For Wharton because they want to study business, not economics. So they want hands-on applied stuff vs. theoretical.

For the combined programs because they are very prestigious, get you 2 degrees, and therefore open a lot of doors. Also because they offered exactly what the person was interested in combining.
