For the last time, "Penn" is an Ivy League school!

<p>Do what you want, but telling others that it's ivy league is a trashy move.</p>

<p>I.e.
You: I go to Penn
Joe: Penn state?
You:No, the university of Pennsylvania. It's an ivy league school. Don't you know it's ivy league? It's highly prestigious.</p>

<p>Notice the websites.</p>

<p>Penn: <a href="http://www.upenn.edu/about/welcome.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.upenn.edu/about/welcome.php&lt;/a>
At the University of Pennsylvania, you'll find a historic, Ivy League school with highly selective admissions and a history of innovation in interdisciplinary education and scholarship.</p>

<p>Harvard, Princeton, Yale don't have "Ivy League" in their introductions on their websites. See: <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/main/about/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.princeton.edu/main/about/&lt;/a> <a href="http://www.yale.edu/about/facts.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.yale.edu/about/facts.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It's like that kid on the playground who says, "Hey guys, I'm really cool too!!"</p>

<p>yea dusk, thats exactly what its like. no one would apply to penn if they didn't know it was an ivy.</p>

43

<p>That's just a really bad assumption. You know how noone would apply to Wharton anymore or anything...yup...</p>

44

<p>chillax,</p>

<p>Do people NOT apply to MIT or Stanford because it's not an ivy? Ivy or not ivy, good schools are good schools. Your point is moot.</p>

45

<p>I agree with dusk, figgy that is a bad assumption. Not everyone is going for the name, but rather the programs. I know that after countless hours of research into the programs at Wharton, I want to go there. That is the main reason I am applying.</p>

46

<p>Were u telling me that was a bad assumption or agreeing with me? Lil confused</p>

<p>lol at my work as a waitor it seems like so many people ask me where I go to college and tonight someone asked and then went "O...so ur one of them" lmao yikes. It was a Dartmouth wedding tho, which was cool. They met at Dartmouth so they named all of their tables after buildings where events happened with them. Great idea</p>

<p>I am kinda lost in this whole discussion myself and do not know exactly what I meeant by that comment. I will tell you what i Think. I believe that a school can be good without being an IVY and there are a lot of people that apply to the schools because they are good, not becasue they are IVYs. With that in mind, even if UPenn suddenly one day is not an IVY or never was, people would still apply to it because it is very good. Although some colleges in the university are better than others, it is still a strong school overall.</p>

<p>Ya so you were agreeing with me...that's wat I thought but u just worded it weird lol. o well</p>
