Wharton is the best business school in the country.(or in the top 5) the contacts you'll make there will be worth all the money. network, network, network. its the contacts you make as well as what you learn.

Eh, Wharton is not the best in the country for everything. For Finance, they are by far the best and they have a great marketing program I believe. If you want an entrepreneurial degree, definitely look into Babson. Don't just choose a school by name, look at where they excel. Obviously, a graduate degree from Wharton will look good no matter what. Also, Northwestern has a great graduate school as well

Ask to see what companies are active recruiters for their graduates. That's extremely important. Corporations have tendencies to recruit at the same schools over and over. When you complete your degree, a foot in the door is that much easier.

I'm looking for some of the top schools, so im kinda almost set for a good first job, ya know. I want to eventually open my business, but I want to go into marketing first and set up a base for myself...
