Visited both schools. Both are good programs, but I think Chicago attracts a more academic crowd. I preferred Chicago, and I think it is the stronger school. HOWEVER, I can’t see the Chicago brand becoming as strong as the Wharton brand in the near future….at least to most prospective MBA candidates. The Wharton brand is better marketed globally. The Wharton name has been entrenched in most people’s minds as one of the best programs in the world. Frankly, I thought it was better than Chicago until I visited both and did serious research on them.
