<p>I understand what you’re saying, and you may be right about Wharton being better for one’s career outlook than HYPS within PE/VC/IB, but all I’m saying is, don’t look down on other Pennsters; you’ll learn just as much from them as they will from you. For my own part, I chose Penn over Dartmouth and Cornell (rejected at Yale, didn’t apply to any other Ivies) and various other good schools, and I’m quite happy in the end with my decision because Penn–yes, even the College–is quite a special place indeed without the necessity of adding in some form of context about its place relative to other schools.</p>
<p>Penn is an ivy league school period. It would be very stupid to look down upon anyone attending an ivy league school because everyone is brilliant and has something new to add. </p>
<p>Also, congrats on all the medical stuff! I am considering a field in healthcare management/medicine/healthcare IB. If you don’t mind my asking, what field of medicine are you looking at?</p>
<p>@Rtgrove123: If you don’t mind me asking, which dual degree program are you going to be in? I am applying for c/o 2015 and am very interested in the program with wharton and the nursing school.</p>
<p>I’m in the life sciences and management program. I’m sry I don’t know a whole ton about the wharton and nursing program.</p>

<p>Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford/MIT/Caltech are not exactly going to stand pat when it comes to their (per capita) endowment while Penn’s increases five (or whatever) fold.</p>
<p>Given that one-fifth of Penn’s undergraduate alumni/ae are Whartonites, it’s actually surprising that Penn’s endowment isn’t higher than it presently is.</p>
