If you get an invite to attend either of these two business schools, you are an exceptional person with huge upside potential. Otherwise, Wharton and Columbia would have dinged you. There are probably more similarities between these two schools than differences. “We are a fact-based and data-driven school, ” says J.J. Cutler, deputy dean of Wharton’s MBA Admissions and Career Services. “We do not have a charisma-style approach. We let the data drive us and help lead us to the solutions.” The same could just as easily be said of Columbia.
Yet, there are important differences. The first is obvious: Columbia is all about New York and the awesome resources it routinely leverages from the capital of the world. Unlike Wharton, it also enters two MBA classes a year, in January for students who don’t need or want a summer internship, and in September for a more conventional full-time MBA schedule. The diversity of exceptional students in both schools is mind-boggling: In Columbia’s Class of 2011, for example, are students who have interned at the White House, managed hedge funds, published books, produced TV shows and launched companies in the U.S. and abroad. The class includes an army ranger and recipient of the Bronze Star, the founder of the largest organic vegetable processing factory in northwestern China, a finalist on American Idol (we’re not kidding), and a three-time Grammy award-winning music producer.
Top Ten Reasons to Go to Wharton?
- You want to work for a financial services firm and want the single best degree to do so.
- You want lots of choices in courses, joint programs with other schools.
- You’re not yet sure what you want to concentrate in and want to insure you have a deep dive in virtually any subject.
- You’re up for an intense, competitive culture.
- You thrive in a larger environment and enjoy being a smaller fish in a bigger pond.
- You want to work, live and play in world-class business school facilities.
- You expect to be among the highest paid MBAs in the world.
- You prefer smaller, manageable cities to larger, more congested ones.
- You think Rocky is one of the best pictures ever made.

On the other we have a woman who went to six colleges in 6 years, including two jr colleges before she managed to get a journalism degree -- in a communications department that is famous for being the place they stash atheletes to keep them eligible.
Palin and three friends went to the University of Hawaii at Hilo after graduation from high school in Alaska in 1982. But they left after a few weeks because of the constant rain there, the book said.
The registrar at Hawaii-Hilo has no record that she ever enrolled, school officials said Thursday
It depends.
by ---Why do you want it? Are you changing fields, or will it get you further in your current occupation and/or company? How is TAMU rated? Middle rank and below colleges are generally not worth it. If you want accounting, for instance get an MS in Accounting and take the CPA exam.
If you want to broaden what you do, then an MBA is reasonable. I know several accountants who got MBAs with me (Columbia '91) who ended up in similar jobs, but one is now in marketing in luxury goods, and the other has his own business but had done revenue management when that first started at the airlines
