As a dual admit, I would say I’m choosing S because I want a smaller class size and want to be surrounded by people passionate about changing the world.

Likely because Stanford doesn’t have a school of comparable culture and prestige. A lot of “Harvard material” people likely are applying to Wharton too but not S because S isn’t a good fit for them. However, Stanford target people may not want to reach below HSW even though of those 3 Stanford is the only cultural fit, so they apply to HW due to school status but have S as a clear #1 choice.

Does anyone have a poor relationship with their alma mater? This can be in general or department specific. For example, I have always felt disappointed with career services from my law school. I feel struggling alumni, like those that failed the bar or remain unemployed long enough to be recorded as negative statistics for the school’s ranking, have already done their damage so they have no incentive to help you any further.
