<p>I don’t exactly remember the set up process (it was awhile ago at this point) but your ID for the website is your Penn ID and I think there’s information in the introductory packet on how to set up the password. They should work, you need it to log into every Penn website. Your Penncard has your student ID on it (different than your Penn ID; the student ID is a string of numbers and the Penn ID are letters).</p>

<p>Hi, I’m an incoming Penn freshman. </p>
<p>I was just wondering how gregory van pelt college house is? Is its location a significant disadvantage? Also, how are the social atmosphere and suites in general? For some reason, Gregory seems to have a pretty negative reputation and I don’t exactly understand why.</p>
<pre><code> Thanks in advance!

<p>Faizabou,</p>
<p>Either AP or IB will be fine if you have a son or daughter who wants to get into Penn. I don’t think they favor one over the other, as long as you’re challenging yourself.</p>
<p>As for IB math, let your child’s math abilities decide that. I took IB math SL because its known that IB math HL is ridiculously hard. If your son or daughter excels at math, maybe HL is for them. If they feel more comfortable with a different HL subject, they should probably take that. Because in the end, an A grade in IB math SL will look better than a C in IB math HL.</p>
<p>Hi I am a sophomore in high school and I am having an internal debate on what it is that I want as a career. Most days I want to be a lawyer and then other days I was something in the business field. Keeping in mind that I am what is considered “average” in the UPenn applicant pool and how low of an acceptance rate Wharton has, would I be better of going to the College of Arts and Sciences for Undergrad and then going to Wharton for grad school in Business law?</p>
<p>Ok - I posted this in 2015 forum, too, but my daughter got into FreshEx and is wondering which bed is “Bed C” in Harrison in Triple room?</p>
<p>Do students at Wharton typically dress formally to attend classes? I noticed in photos that guys usually wear button-down shirts and khakis, polos, etc., and sometimes suits?</p>
<p>I’m so lame, I can’t go to any of the pre-orientation programs due to scheduling reasons! Will I miss out on transformative experiences and friends? (I wanted to do PennQUEST so yeah) Be brutally honest, I can take it.</p>
<p>^^@Momoftwo I don’t know. I think one/two of the living areas within the triple rooms are often nicer, but I heard that people who live in them switch living areas throughout the year out of fairness, so it won’t matter that much. I’m not sure if this is an actual rule, or just something that most decent roomates would arrange.</p>
<p>QUakergirl25: Wharton for grad school does not accept as many wharton kids as you would think. As one of the most prestigious grad schools, they require work experience and great diversity. In fact, there are so many different majors including an increasing group of engineers that are looking to get their MBAs. The Harvard Business school just published the percentages of different types of people matriculating there in their class of 2015. Wharton is solely for the purpose of entering the business field. You will be well-prepared for consulting and investment banking jobs. Business law, you can enter from any area. Either school would be fine as long as you are able to maintain your gpa.</p>
<p>luckymeeeee: wearing khakis, polos and dress shirts is just a preppy style that certain people like to follow, not necessarily wharton kids. In fact, more of the frat population dresses like that. It is a symbol of wealth and status at penn.</p>
<p>blorgit: although, the pre-orientation programs are a good way to make new friends, the majority of the penn incoming class will not have done it. You will find plenty of easy opportunities to make new friends during NSO. It is an awesome time so enjoy yourself.</p>
<p>How long is the walk between Harrison and the chemistry labs?</p>
<p>one thing …are the campuses really that good??</p>
<p>and…what kind of essays do the admissions officers usually like? (businessy…personally…or whartonieeee(praising wharton).</p>
<p>The walk is approximately 10-15 minutes depending on how fast you walk.</p>
<p>The campus green is beautiful. Penn has both ancient and modern buildings throughout its campus.</p>
<p>Essays should be genuine and personal.</p>
<p>BTW, I think the OP isn’t on as much because he/she just graduated so they have much better things to do.</p>
<p>^Prinki </p>
<p>It is probably not a very good idea to write an admissions essay to ANY school that is too heavy in praising the school. Top schools know how good they are. Don’t tell them what they already know. Instead show them how you would fit in.</p>

<p>Personally, I think Penn’s campus is in the middle, locust walk is pretty at times and there are a few walkways that can be pretty scenic, but once you hit walnut or spruce, the fact that you’re in the middle of philly is pretty obvious. It can’t really compare to like Stanford and similar campuses.</p>
<p>@tevashzat-thanks.
But you mean to say Penn’s campus is better than Stanford’s ?</p>
<p>Hi, my college is a partner school and I’m currently studying in Europe. I’m trying to go to Penn for a year on exchange and I wanted to know what the pre-law program was like. Anything on bio-ethics, intellectual property?</p>
