That is not viewed as a drop in prestige (please take the full ride. 200K in debt is a lot of money), but you got bigger fish to fry than your career right now. Go take a session with a therapist and figure out why you’re so focused on how others perceive you
If you need an MBA out of Harvard UG, you are already behind your peers, my man
Surely you’re evaluating schools on more criteria than perception, right?
Harvard undergrads, as graceful and level headed as ever I see
When having Wharton guaranteed, doing Harvard undergrad -> HBS makes little sense. Stanford GSB could make sense if you have a very specific reason, which is hard for me to think of. I would take this Wharton admission in 95% of scenarios
Harvard UG, wtf kind of opportunities would an MBA add that you don't have already?
I think in this case, it makes sense because he can add the alumni network of Wharton to his Harvard alumni network. Just depends on how much he values that network

Congrats on the Wharton Moelis Advance Access acceptance!
Hmmm...I didn't realize that Wharton offered scholarship when accepting people for deferred enrollment. Most programs evaluate your situation in the year you plan to matriculate.
I would wait until 'down the line' is real time and figure out whether you actually need an MBA to achieve your goals.
I’d apply to HBS
Idk plenty of people do it (Harvard / Yale / Stanford undergrad —> Wharton MBA)
Try Stanford and gain the tech network
I despise the fact school names carry prestige that it over indexes the other components of “success”.
Lmao
Isnt wharton more prestigious than HBS?
You realize that 98% of BCG employees aren’t in Boston right
