<p>Honestly, there is far from a big advantage by picking either school - the difference is definitely marginal. If your biggest dilemma is choosing between W and P, then you are indeed a lucky student. W may off the bat be expected to know more finance/accounting and possess a strong technical skill set, but if someone from P has already held an internship in IB or PE, or some other technical discipline ahead of interviewing, they too will be tested extensively. </p>
<p>Simply put, you can’t test someone on fin/acct who haven’t had the opportunity to ever really be exposed to it. P and other non-business students will be given general and “easier,” to business students, that is, technical questions such as “what are the 3 financial statements and define them,” as well as more brain teaser type questions and more behavioral type questions. Depending on your background, you might prefer technical questions than an interview like that - if someone with a finance background had to choose between getting more technical questions and a few behavioral, or being drilled on behavioral questions, many would probably choose the former. </p>
<p>In short, go to whichever school you think you will fit the best with and enjoy the most - the recruiting and opp aspect will come naturally at either place.</p>
