BCEMBA has a stronger reputation in entrepreneurship and Wharton for finance - although both are great options. I have a different background, but was in a similar situation in terms of choosing between the two programs. I only made up my mind a few days ago. For me it came down to people and what you are looking to get out of an EMBA. If you want to email me I can discuss at greater length.

Dear malpua,

Congratulations on your two admission offers! You can't make a wrong decision; the question is more which program is the best one for your needs. I would suggest thinking about what industry you plan to pursue for your entrepreneurial venture and then determining if one of these programs has stronger ties to that industry. By stronger ties, I mean attracting students into the EMBA from that industry, having alumni in that industry, and faculty who consult with that industry. You also want to look at course offering in the EMBA and ensure you will receive the coursework you feel you need to start your venture off on the right foot.

Good luck,
Lisa
