<p>Can someone give me rough estimate og how pretigious CAS is at Penn? (like what school are comparable to U Penn's CAS)</p>
<p>Is it better than Cornell's? Yale's? MIT's? etc...</p>
<p>Since it is a majority of the school, you could probably safely say it's one of the top 15 in the country. Certain majors are probably higher, some are probably lower. It's too subjective to definitively say.</p>
<p>I'd probably rank it around NU, Berkeley, Cornell, Dartmouth and a little higher than UM-AA.
It's not as respected as Wharton, but still one of the elite schools.</p>
<p>anybody else?</p>
<p>Some departments in SAS are very well respected, but they aren't the sexy ones like law, business, med, engineering, etc. So Penn is amazing at anthro and music. It's not as cool as saying CMU is amazing for robotics. Get what I mean? The type of student Penn attracts is also very preprofessional, so the students here probably don't emphasize the liberal arts as much as they would at say Dartmouth or Brown. Needless to say, graduating from SAS is really good. It might not be looked as highly as Harvard or Yale, but then again, the schools at that super elite level can be counted on one hand.</p>
<p>Enough with the ****ing contests. The Ivy League is the Ivy League: suggesting that a Harvard/Yale/Princeton graduate always gets the job when competing with other Ivy grads in the same field is just silly. Sure, UPenn isn't exactly on par with Harvard as far as the layman is concerned, but for jobs in specific fields, the Ivy status is what is important, not that you go to Harvard instead of Brown (or vice versa).</p>
<p>Agree with Post #2 as Penn's CAS is the urban version of suburban Northwestern University's CAS & rural Cornell University"s arts & sciences school.</p>
