High Schooler Deciding Yale vs Wharton for IB
High school senior here and was fortunate enough to get into both. I want to do IB ---> PE (how unique, I know). Is one school particularly better than the other in terms of recruiting? If not, I'm literally just gonna flip a coin. I don't really care about culture, I'm sure most of the people recruiting for IB at both univerisities are jerk-offs. Any insight is helpful.
Yale easily. Wharton is the most overrated undergrad here. So much competition for spots.
coming back to this, nowadays I wouldn't take wharton unless the choice is outside a T10 tbh if your nondiverse.
Yale 100%. I studied humanities at another great humanities school and went from IB to PE. I view education as a means to understand the world and appreciate the human condition more deeply, rather than spending 4 years to learn an LBO that I learned in 2 weeks. You learn all of the technical knowledge on the job.
Wharton - you hit the desk with the skillset and learn things in class that are highly applicable to your career. It is more cut throat for sure though so would do Yale if you’re looking for a smooth ride
SA24 placements for Yale’s top finance club are 3 x GS Classic, MS Menlo, PJT RSSG, Evercore, Centerview, Moelis, P72 Academy, Apax Consumer, Bracebridge, Bain Cap Credit—take that as you will
damn
Yale easily. Much better overall undergrad experience (residential colleges, school spirit, more artsy students who are fun) and you won’t miss a beat when it comes to recruiting. No brainer imo
Choose the college experience you’d like more. Penn you get more of a state school vibe: Greek life, parties, etc. That’s where I’d go between these two options. If you like a more liberal artsy, eclectic, “nerdier,” student body, go to Yale. Outcomes will depend on you at this point. You won’t be missing out on Goldman Sachs TMT/PJT RSSG/Centerview because you chose Yale over Wharton or vice versa. Good problem to have.
