Hi Guys,
First time poster here. I am very much a lurker, been enjoying the many insightful tips provided by the members here and here I am thanking you all and I am now in a very fortunate position where I have a decision to make b/w Wharton and Columbia. I've spoken to many people, and tried to do my Google research and school website digging to find answers I am looking for, but wanted to get your opinions on my dilemma.
I am coming from a banking/pe background, have family/friends in California and am looking to go back to California upon graduation. My intended field to get into is investment management, working for mutual funds like Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, etc. In trying to achieve this "simple" goal (putting aside EVERYTHING else such as geography, school facilities, etc.), which school, in your opinion, would afford me the best possible chance at breaking out into this on the West Coast? I have heard Wharton has stronger brand recognition and will get nods more than CBS, as Haas, UCLA, and USC take up the CBS space that it would normally occupy in the West Coast with Wharton still carved out as a differing pedigree. But again, this is all hearsay and would love to get your thoughts on this.
Thank you all in advance for your insightful comments!

I'd say what you've heard is spot on. You're going to have to do some leg work to get back to the west coast from an east coast school regardless, but that legwork will be easier coming from Wharton over CBS.

Thanks MIXEDin. Definitely helps to hear a third party's opinion. Anyone else support his/her views or have thoughts on an opposing view? I really am trying to hear cases from both sides if possible.
