<p>Muerte - no I think JHS meant the opposite. In Philly, student preferences are probably heavily skewed toward UPenn, primarily because of Penn’s home field advantage and its traditionally strong reputation with area schools. Also, if I’m not mistaken, UPenn is one of the few schools that has sort of a linkage program with its city - meaning, I believe Penn tries to take a certain number of kids (maybe a couple hundred) from the city of Philadelphia itself.</p>
