anon23543 Likes Earned: 4 I want to be in Europe for the medium term. Does Wharton still make sense? Only 2% of alumni end up in Europe after graduation, and I already have a pretty extensive network in NYC (where most Wharton graduates go). I am concerned it won't help me expand my international network as much. (0)
