<p>Okay, I feel the need to chip in my two cents. So here goes.</p>
<p>I know someone who was in the same exact position as the OP. Accepted to Yale and Wharton for his undergraduate education. After a lot of bouncing around, he opted for Yale. He graduated this year, Class of 2010, and couldn’t find a job. He had the intention to go on a path of banking, but again, could not land a job. </p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>The thing is, he couldn’t land a job, because Yale didn’t offer adequate enough majors for his intended profession. Sure, he could have done economics, but he fell into the typical hole of a Yale student. He studied History, something that seems far more appealing when you are in an intellectual environment like Yale. </p>
<p>Yale is liberal arts school, with every major imaginable. Wharton is a specialized school WITHIN a liberal arts school. If you know you want to do banking/finance or whatever, my gut says Wharton, you’ll be more adequately prepared than any other post-college employee, and even many of your Business school peers. If you don’t like it, you can opt out to Penn’s CAS, but be warned: Penn’s CAS is great, but it is NO YALE. </p>
<p>If you aren’t sure what you want to do with your life yet (It’s alright, people older than you don’t have the slightest clue either), then go to Yale… that’s my gut. If it’s business related, Wharton is for you.</p>
<p>My judgment is based on what I’ve seen happen to someone in your exact position. He didn’t know what to do, and screwed himself over in the process. Don’t repeat his mistake. The choice is yours.</p>
<p>BTW, this Yale grad I know is now doing an accounting course at USC, will probably land a job afterward. So even if you do mess up, you’re not screwed-- at least not completely. :)</p>
