<p>Brown, because it’s more well-rounded and has a better international rep.</p>
<p>Caltech or HMC?</p>
<p>Caltech </p>
<p>HMC for its quality academics isn’t pretty enough. </p>
<p>Caltech has the better Physics department anyway.</p>

<p>Duke Trinity or UPenn CAS</p>
<p>Duke. Again, Wharton overshadows everything at Penn which sucks for CAS and SEAS students come recruiting season.</p>
<p>Northwestern or Berkeley?</p>
<p>Berkeley</p>
<p>Just love the liberal ambiance of the place. Californian Weather. Wonderful faculty. </p>
<p>NWU is great but doesn’t feel like the right place for me. </p>
<p>Columbia or Brown?</p>
<p>Brown. Columbia’s undergraduate experience is pretty bad.</p>
<p>Stanford or Harvard?</p>
<p>I disagree with PrincetonDreams about Penn CAS and SEAS students being at a loss come recruiter season. All of Penn’s schools get the same jobs its just that the Wharton ones get paid more due to its ranking. SEAS and CAS ppl also get special jobs due to Penn’s open nature. Many Wall street employers want students from diverse under graduation backgrounds. The ‘One University’ concept enables them to learn a financial know how from Wharton and thus land great jobs. </p>
<p>Put yourself in this situation. If you were an employer who would you prefer. A student who did 4 years of Engineering (with various minors in Finance and Management) at the Undergraduate level and then did an MBA or would you prefer a student who did business at the undergraduate level and the did a masters in the same thing.
Both of them graduated from Penn.</p>
<p>The first student has an open mind and an eclectic education. His/her Physics and Math learning would have given him/her an open outlook on life.
Whereas the Wharton student spent 6 years learning the same thing. His/her mind while start to clog due to intellectual dormancy.
They have the same working knowledge of an IB/Consultancy firm as an MBA teaches you everything you need to know. Thus the 4 years of undergraduate business is a waste of $200,000.</p>
<p>Please note these are my views and I welcome any censorious comments.</p>
