<p>i think quite a lot of ppl at penn are pre-professional/pre-career, but i also have a feeling that that is just the most visible stereotype. there have definitely been tons of times when i ask ppl doing science research for science and i assume its pre-med, where it turns out they're researching...because they like it. i'm not sure about the other ivies, but i know that at stanford it was reported that half the undergrad population was pre-law or pre-med or something close to that.</p>
