<p>Hi I am having a dilemma trying to pick where to apply early and deadline is 1 month away!
it is in between the huntsman program at penn and harvard/ princeton (probably harvard)</p>

<p>i want a strong jewish social life so penn would seem like the obvious choice but i don't have enough information on jewish/ social life at princeton or harvard- does anyone know?</p>

<p>i also understand that harvard/ princeton are significantly more prestigious than penn</p>

<p>therefore if i did get in to huntsman ed i would always think 'what if' i had applied to harvard/ princeton</p>

<p>my gut says huntsman because it is the prestige at penn, it is highly academic but you also get the social and everyone that goes loves it</p>

<p>but i would rather apply harvard/ princeton ed and huntsman rd just so i can keep my options open just in case i do get into huntsman ed</p>

<p>however i know this significantly reduces my chances at huntsman if i apply rd</p>

<p>what do you guys think of my chances for huntsman rd or any of the ivies?</p>

<p>also am i at a greater disadvantage if i try apply for spanish? </p>

<p>For what it’s worth, many of the students in the Huntsman program turned down HYP to be there. My son is one of them and he has never looked back! They really cultivate a supportive environment among the students and the resources, both physical (Huntsman Lounge) and in terms of helping with internship/job placement, are extraordinary. Penn itself is a very different kind of atmosphere than it’s higher-profile Ivy relatives. It is highly academic but more of a pre-professional approach.</p>

<p>These three things are reaches, even in EA…</p>

<p>Just curious, Isn’t it too late for Early action application to any of these schools.</p>

<p>Could someone PM me about what it takes to get into the Huntsman Program? I read about, and it seems to be in my field of interest.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>@epeefencer96. Did you get a PM?</p>

<p>I am also really interested about the Huntsman Program.
I know it is almost impossible to get in, but I think it is worth the try. At least the admissions officers must know that I am alive!!XD</p>
