Ironically, the founder went to Wharton, the institution that is the embodiment of the exact opposite values of the university that he is founding.

Wharton grad here -- I have to reply to your characterization. Wharton still has a strong finance background, but we've also applied the same ideas towards all disciplines where a quantitatively based, structured approach to problem solving is useful. That's why many consider it a "quant school." I specifically learned critical thinking there, and not anything that has helped me in my job specifically (PM at a big tech company).
