All,
I was fortunate to receive offers from both schools with solid scholarships (Wharton's 50% > Booth's).
My career path for the future is relatively unique albeit with a focus on finance (plan is after a few years in the states I'd move to an EMEA country).
I'm fully aware that I'll be doing all the heavy work for recruiting with my own network and willpower (which I've started) so I'm not putting much of an emphasis on either school's OCR.
What I care about is:
1. Strength of curriculum (particularly data analytics, economics, statistics, and public policy)
2. International perception (give my desire to work in an EMEA country, I'm aware of extra emphasis placed on pedigree)
3. Application of programming languages
From my visits I *loved* the culture of both schools, the curriculum flexibility, and Booth's curiosity / Wharton's go-getter vibe. Plus I kept "ooing" and "aahing" at the professor line-up (rock stars!).
I mean Wharton seems like the winner here given the add'l aid (and my co-workers have assumed it's where I'll matriculate) but I can't stop thinking about Booth.
If anyone has thoughts on this please let me know.
Much appreciated!

Congratulations! Fantastic job getting into 2 great schools!
Wharton is usually the "easy" choice many take. I am typing on the phone so don't have access to the latest job and placement reports to see who has a larger network in EMEA. Something to verify potentially. My guess would be Wharton due to gov contracts to train employees.
Having known people from both programs/schools, I feel Wharton would fit your needs/goals somewhat better as it is a de facto finance school and has probably slightly stronger lineup of professors that teach some unique classes. Keep in mind you always have a bidding system for classes so you don't always get what you want (right away at least). The name is likely better known and the fact that it is often brought up in the same sentence as Stanford and Harvard will count in MEA region.
Wharton student body also seems to be more focused albeit perhaps less diverse while Booth has an entrepreneurship center and new venture challenge, etc and sometimes tries to get away from the pure finance school while Wharton seems to embrace it. Perhaps I am a bit set in my views? Yes, I know Wharton has a great negotiations program/class set.
I know it is hard to pick sometimes between two great choices and having to reject one.

I'm in a similar boat as I absolutely love both schools.
I think you should go to both Welcome weekends because they are 1 week apart. And then if you are leaning towards Booth, at least see if they will match. If your request comes off as you are serious about committing to Booth but $$$ is the sole factor, I do think Booth's AdCom will be willing to match Wharton's offer.
