I would bet that half of the kids at Stern were rejected by Wharton. Not to say Stern is bad (i went there for MBA), it's just not the shining star that is Wharton.

Stern job placements are on par with Wharton, or very close to it. Being (literally) right next to Wall Street is huge.

Absolutely! The difference in resources is extraordinary. (When we heard Columbia took 400 more off the waitlist - DC got in RD - we had a sigh of relief.)
