If you work on Wall St and are not a Wharton grad it is your sacred duty to troll them whenever possible.

You are probably aware but for those who do not know, Penn (University of Pennsylvania) is not a state school, Penn State is.
Technically, Penn State isn't a "State School" either: See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_System_of_Higher_... versus the "Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education"
Wharton is the business school at U Penn State, right?
U Penn != Penn State -- they are separated by many hundreds of miles of geography (and culture).

U Penn is private. Penn State is public.

Penn (where Wharton is) is a super-elite private university. Penn State (where Wharton is not) is an average public one.
Are you saying that Penn State is an average university that happens to be public, or that among public universities it is average?
Wharton is at UPenn. Penn State's business school is Smeal.
