<p>Wharton has more Global Recognition where it matters - the business world. Sure, your average farmer in China is more likely to have heard of Yale, but any business professional would have heard of Wharton and would respect it more.</p>
<p>Fact of the matter is, Wharton has a larger international alumni base than any other school in the world. Nearly 50% of Wharton MBA alums are international and work internationally. In any given country (considering how weak the Yale MBA program is) Wharton would outplace Yale by a factor of five or more (considering that Wharton out places Yale at the undergraduate level and totally eradicates it at the graduate level). The top foreign companies sometimes recruit solely out of Wharton. </p>
<p>All the aspiring businessmen in these country dream of getting a Wharton or Harvard or Stanford MBA, not a Yale one. Wharton has arguably two of the most famous alums in business: Warren Buffett and Donald Trump (Bill Gates would also be in this category - but he went to Harvard), as a result it has immense global recognition. Many of the top businessmen you talk to in these countries are far more likely to have gotten their MBA from Wharton, done a deal with a Whartonite, had a Wharton work for them, than they are with a Yalie. If you go to Wharton undergrad, you have more than 80 thousand alumni in business to call upon with clubs all around the world, go to get your Harvard MBA after that and you nearly double that. Bottom line, Wharton’s alumni network is far far stronger. A Wharton degree is priceless.</p>
