Wharton EMBA vs Berkeley Haas EWMBA

smario999

头疼的问题, if I could get in both Wharton EMBA($160,000) and Haas EWMBA($100,000)program, (I feel very possible)

Case 1:    Haas admit, Wharton admit, then no question, go to Wharton

Case 2:    Haas reject, Wharton admit, no doubt, go to Wharton.

Case 3:    Haas in,  Wharton reject,  what should I do?   

                 A.   go to Haas, literally give up Wharton.

                 B.   reject Haas,  try Wharton next year.   But this is like give up Haas from the beginning. Why apply Haas at the first place.

Shall I give up Haas (do not apply at all) and focus on Wharton? 

Thanks!!!

I am in the west coast, only looking for programs with local access. Harvard is too far, impossible to go.

Shall I give up Haas at all?

Harvard 没有EMBA。这个问题的答案肯定是等Wharton, 进HAAS你绝对会后悔，不是说那个学校不好。而是EMBA主要看你的工作经验和职位高低，基本你是总监级别，有国际团队管理经验或是国际工作经验是能稳进的。被Reject的话，基本就是工作经验和职位的问题。这两个随着你等1，2年都应该会解决。所以，当然是等Wharton。

How does Wharton's reputation compared with Berkeley Haas in China?    I thought Wharton should be better, but I had a friend who is a Wharton graduate told me that Berkeley is also well respected in China, no big difference.  Is this true?

By the way, I am currently at Director level and had 12 years experience.

The thing is, what kind of director and what kind of company???

如果是high tech行业，berkeley的reputation不比wharton差

yes I am indeed in the high tech industry, current an engineer director at a startup in silicon valley. I feel the same way that if I stay in tech world, ( too old to change to consulting or finance), and most likely I will, then no matter in CA or China, Berkeley is equally good or better than Wharton in this area. 

Wharton is a great school, no doubt about that, but it is strength probably is more on finance and east coast.   Berkeley may have a much stronger influence in the valley.  that's why I am hesitating, which one to go, of course, if both can admit me.

Not sure about the reputation of Berkeley and Wharton in China, any comments are appreciated.
