[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about engineering without a business double major? What's the engineering program like?  Hard to believe it is worth the price tag over a flagship state school.  (And we have  Penn people in our family.)[/quote]

Access to choice firms/jobs is better and it is smaller than a state school so less kids fighting over resources.

And you don't 'close off avenues' - i.e. a state school engineering student who decides senior year he wants to become a consultant or trader or work at a tech-focused investment firm would be frozen out of the recruiting pipeline (or would have to really really work hard on their own to break in) whereas an engineering student at penn has these types of companies (along with your typical technology companies) flock onto campus.

It is better to go to a 'target school' than not.

Now certain programs like BME is stronger at places like jhu and duke.

I would say half of penn's engineering students do engineering but really want to work in quantitative finance, business strategy but tech focused, etc. [/quote]
