<p>@metro and mancune, noone is saying that Yale won’t open doors, just that Wharton will open more (especially abroad). Do consider that many firms only offer OCR to Harvard, Wharton, INSEAD, etc. Also, no one is denying here that Yale probably offers a better liberal arts education than Penn. That said, no one seriously denies (especially foreign businessmen) that Wharton trumps Yale in business education. </p>
<p>Why are we even comparing university achievements anyways? It should really be about the student body. Otherwise, I could boast that Penn is the first university in the United States, Penn produced more historically important figures (just think of whose statue you see all over campus), Philadelphia is a major city whereas New Haven is… a town? Not to offend but to me it seems like you’re a foreigner and I can tell you for a fact that the ‘foreign businessmen’ you’ll usually be dealing with are not the ones calling the shots. </p>
<p>It’s also great to know that Yale’s greatest impact on the world was forever altering the political landscape by royally screwing America with their most prominent alumnus who foreign leaders even refer to as Satan. </p>
<p>Frankly, none of this even matters, let’s keep discussion to the students and opportunities shall we?</p>
<p>It’s also important to separate business from finance here. If you’re conducting business, that’s pure people skills. If you’re investing, that’s a completely different skillset (and please don’t bring up ibd, no one takes modelling seriously there).</p>
