<p>c) everyone prefers online, whether they say so or not.</p>

<p>b) I'd say the anthropology department would be pretty amazing. I'll definitely be taking classes in both that and the archeology department. Jus think of the museum and everything in there. It's got to be great.</p>

<p>c) I'd go with online, if possible. I think it's less time and paperwork for them. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt you to send it by paper but what if all of those paper applications got the admissions officers annoyed and they were harsher than they meant to be with the decisions one day?</p>

<p>e) I'm pretty sure the interviewers will just call you if they decide they want you to have one. That's what happened to me, at least.</p>

<p>b) the anthropology department is indeed excellent. im taking a physical anthro course now (intro. to human evolution) and its been great. the professor is hilarious and makes the lectures interesting, also she is clearly on the forefront of the research going on in the field. the penn anthro department is, I believe, tied for the top in the country with UChicago. the department has pretty good facilities, with the entire anthropology museum (which is excellent, we even have the rosetta stone there!), which was the academic wing attached with its own anthropology library next to all the anthro classrooms and lecture halls.</p>

<p>a) im doing nursing.. Its a really small school, they only take like 100 people, but u still take classes from the college. I toured the school and everyone was soo nice(students and professors). Its a laid back atmosphere- im sure its somewhat competitive b/c its penn, but not like crazy... and nursing doesnt necessarily mean you are gonna work bedside in a hospital- there are many grauduate programs you can do after, nurse practitioner, and basically act the role of a doctor, except you dont go 2 med school, and u can make like 90-100,000$$(( pretty good for a woman haha))</p>

<p>sotrabj...we don't have the Rosetta Stone here...that's at the British Museum...if they're not going to return the Elgin Marbles to Greece then they certainly wouldn't have given the Rosetta Stone to Penn.</p>
