<p>So, how utterly awesome is Penn? Seriously, how much cooler is it compared to every other school?</p>
<p>not much. i hate penn. stupid elitists.</p>
<p>just kidding. I LOVE PENN. and I LOVE YOU.</p>
<p>It's awesome because the students know how to have fun. Plus its in the middle of city. hoorah.</p>
<p>Penn is awful. Don't apply there.</p>
<p>huh? what's Penn?
"is that a state school?"</p>
<p>So I guess we got sick n' tired of bashing the other ivies and decided to bash our own just so we can have more posts...gosh we are getting way greedy.</p>
<p>boob cat: DUDE did u get that from my one post?</p>
<p>lol my interviewer was telling me all the dif ivy bashing slogans and he was like those damn yale kids are always like "penn? i sthat a state school?"</p>
<p>lololoz. ANYWHO.</p>
<p>Around here (west coast) we get "Penn? Penn State? That's a good football school" =P</p>
<p>They should have named it Frankord so we could Be n Frankmen</p>
<p>yes. anuvx. i did.
hahahah yea. i asked my college english prof. to edit my essays.
he asked "UPenn? my friend went there. wait that was Penn State."</p>
<p>since its 2.54 and im still working on a 6 page paper, i though id take a lil break and reply to this discussion board. first and foremost, its pronounced Penn. not UPenn. not Penn State. Its Penn damnit. And secound, Penn is awesome. i would know, im a Jr. at wharton and im at huntsman typing this reply because i need something to distract me.</p>
<p>sincerely, </p>

<p>oooo 10 days 4hours 23 minutes and 50 seconds...</p>
<p>A friend of mine who lives in Ohio was telling me she refused to apply to an Ivy (I had been telling her she should apply to Yale, because she had a better chance of getting in than I). She went on a whole rant about this, then began to tell me how she could go to school in Pennsylvania, how she'd gotten mail from a school called 'Penn.' I let her ramble on about how much she'd fallen in love with Penn for about three minutes before I told her it was, in fact, Ivy League. There was silence on the other end. I'm pretty sure she didn't believe me. ;)</p>
<p>That said, I'm not applying to Penn, but I know quite a number of people around here who are, since it's reasonably close. One of my very close friends applied early; hopefully she'll get to be in classes with all of you next year. :)</p>
<p>dtown, good story!!</p>
<p>I hear that a lot of people think NYU is Ivy League.....</p>
<p>NO WAY! that's unacceptable. NYU is nowhere NEAR Penn's status.</p>
<p>I loved Penn. Actually the first school i fell in love with was Yale...but then I visited Cornell, and finally Penn. Penn was my fave because of the programs, the people, the atmosphere and campus. It's 100% perfect. (except it'll be less perfect when i get rejected.) It's a city school and yet it has its own enclosed campus. NYU, not so much. PENN > NYU!</p>
<p>oh yeah, and when I was 12 I was in latin dance class and was like "Hmm there are 8 Ivy Leagues? What are they...Princeton Harvard Yale Dartmouth Brown Cornell Columbia."
Becky: "And UPenn. My brother goes there."
Me: "pfft! what! That's not an ivy league! that sounds like some state school."
Becky: "I'm serious! It's an Ivy!"
Me: "Nope...guess there are only 7."</p>
<p>how ironic. Anyway I love Penn not for its name but pretty much everything else.</p>
<p>is mit an ivy? i thought there was 9 ivies</p>
<p>penn as a state school- someone this summer asked me where i wanted to go and when i mentioned penn, he nodded and said, "oh, that's a good choice, since it's a state school, you can save a lot of money!"</p>
<p>Only 8 ivies. MIT, CIT, Stanford are schools on par with the ivy leagues.</p>
<p>guys, im gonna admit something to you...</p>
<p>from January 2004 to June 2004 Columbia was my number 1 choice.</p>
<p>Yes, I know, I know.... I was even gonna apply ED.</p>
<p>But then in July I visited Penn.</p>
<p>and by August I was convinced that I was applying to Penn ED!</p>
<p>from November 2003 to April 2004 I was besotted with Yale, actually. even though I didn't think I'd get in, I was in love.</p>
<p>Then, on that beautiful Good Friday, my mom and I drove down to Penn.</p>
<p>Haven't looked back since lol.</p>
