I think it is unfair to say that people look down on people in the college who are interested in getting jobs in finance. I hope that isn’t true.

SAS grads aren’t look down upon as inferior. There is a higher demand for Wharton grads in fields like ibanking and consulting for reasons including the fact that a business undergrad prepares you more for the real world, but the same could be said of someone doing Computer Science vs Math. The truth is to get a good job you need good grades, internship experience, and interview ability. A student in Wharton with a 2.5, no internships, and who can’t interview won’t get hired by any good job out of school. A SAS student with a strong GPA, strong work experience, and strong interview skills will be just as competitive as any Wharton student for those top banking and consulting jobs.
