<p>staticsoliloquy, you did the very same thing you berated baba for doing. You took a small selective sample, namely Rickoid students, and used that to represent the interests of all high school students at large. I'm not saying Baba's logic is right, but simply that your argument is not much better</p>
<p>"one of the best athletic programs in the ivy leagues."</p>
<p>and yes, only in the ivy leagues.</p>
<p>Go Trojans</p>

<p>Yields 2005</p>
<p>Harvard 78&
Yale 71%
Pton 67.6%
Penn 66%
Columbia 58%</p>
<p>Stanford 67%</p>
<p>hah sucka.</p>
<p>66 < 67 thus Penn < Stanford</p>
<p>Go chew on that.</p>
<p>well, to the original poster who ask, "give me reasons why UPenn is a good university."</p>
<p>Well, I can give you a reason why UPENN isn't a good university...</p>
<p>Baba goes there.</p>
<p>Lesley Stanfurd Jr college is not a peer school for Penn, so it should not be looked as one. SF mostly competes with UC berkeley, Cal tech and more recently with USC. so it is kind of regional school with 50% kids from CA.</p>
<p>It is HYPennPton.</p>
<p>I certainly hope that ad hominem affronting is not characteristic of all Stanford students</p>
<p>2005 Yields
Harvard 79%
Yale 71
Pton 67.6
Penn 66
Brown 59
Columbia 58
Cornell 50% ?</p>
<p>Upenn has a very good asian studies program and has alot of international students- i think more than any other ivy, and then ofcourse there is wharton like others have mentioned.</p>
<p>Seeing as how baba got into UPenn, I am at a loss for words. What an annoying troll he is. Makes the school look bad.</p>
<p>Well rooster, as a person going to Yale I'm proud to say that Stanford is a peer school along with Harvard, MIT, and Princeton. I am actually offended by baba's remarks that the acronym is HYPennPton. I take it as a mortal insult that he thinks UPenn in on par with Yale. It would have been better off if he took the Y out along with S and M. We want nothing to do with UPenn.</p>
<p>Chill out dude, no one is doubting that Yalies are proud</p>
<p>Yale is number 2 now far behind the king Harvard. Penn is closing in fast.</p>
<p>May be HPennY soon.</p>
<p>Again: <a href="http://www.andover.edu/news/commencement05.htm%5B/url%5D">www.andover.edu/news/commencement05.htm</a> for 2005 battle ground of Ivies.</p>
<p>Haha, Baba stop posting this stuff, you're making too many people mad on this board and others.</p>
<p>Block his IP address please.</p>

<p>It is HYPennPton."</p>
<p>you're the only one on this board who does the whole HYPP. Everyone else who is sane calls it HYPS...knows what the S stands for? Yes, Stanford darling.</p>
<p>If you've taken statistic, which I don't believe you have, you would understand the importance of pool selection when it comes to collecting data.</p>
<p>Your sample pool been selected in a unfair and biased way to prove your point. Thus it is dismissed.</p>
