Wharton or nothing ... lol
At many universities, business is a very easy major and many of the so-called "athletes" major in business. In this major, It comes down to "connections". In other words, it is about "who you know". It is very hard to get a good paying job with a business major unless you have "connections". I am sure you will see folks jump in here and say that they get good paying jobs without hooks but those are exceptions rather than the rule.

She is a freshman at an ok, but not fantastic, school (that I don’t want to name because I don’t want to start drama). She wants to transfer to a “better” school. She has now settled on a finance and accounting double major but would drop to just finance at a more rigorous school.
What colleges would folks suggest? She wants smaller <15k students, strong in business/finance. With a decent placement record. She knows about Penn, but that is a long shot. I’m trying to give her other strong (but not impossible to get into) schools to think about.

You are either very old or tremendously misinformed. Most businesses schools are harder admit.

“Business” is a ticket to an entry level sales position.

People need to keep this in mind. A general under grad 'business', 'marketing' degree from an average college is a very weak qualification.
You need to graduate with some 'hard' skills such as accounting, finance, MIS ( SQL, data analysis)
