Is applying to this selection of Ivies contradictory?

<p>HYP are the only ones with truly outstanding political science programs. Brown and Dartmouth’s departments are, like Penn’s, great, but not in the league of HYP. And of “the unremarkable 3” (Penn, Brown, Dartmouth), only Penn has a Law school, which has lots of overlap in faculty and is one of the few preeminent law schools to allow undergraduates to enroll in its courses.</p>

<p>And to clarify, the Huntsman Program is International STUDIES, not International RELATIONS (they are different–Penn also offers an International Relations major and minor, which some Huntsman students will avail)</p>

<p>You should certainly not drop Penn, but Yale does sound like the best for you (good luck on getting in though…)</p>
