<p>paro i love you</p>
<p>collegenow, people at Penn don't like the fact that Penn is confused with Penn State when Penn was founded first and is a better school. They should be confused with us. It's this stupid football culture in America where you get paid a million dollars to kick a field goal while teachers are paid 30,000 dollars to educate children and prepare them for the future.</p>
<p>lol thank you adidas. luv you too =)</p>
<p>this is why we are fellow fighting quakers</p>
<p>Actually, though i joked bout' Penn previously, it was in pure jest. Penn CAS is great. I'd actually pick Penn CAS over Wharton. Why you may ask? Cause @ Wharton ur pretty much stuck doing INvestment Banking. And why do 17 year olds wanna do investment banking? Oh yea- cuz they see then high starting salaries. Yet little do they realize that in return for that extra money, your depreciation in very real terms are your health, longevity, and tremendousssss stress. Not to mention it's hard to move up. Most people burn out after 2 years anyway and take the money to go on their merry way. There was a thread about this a couple of pages ago- last year WhartonAdvisor said basically less than 15 people combined went to Law/Medical school. Doesn't 'prognasticate' well if you decide you dont wanna do IB. </p>
<p>So in so many words- no Penn is not a "one trick pony".</p>
<p>Maybe 15 go straight to Med and Law school right after college, but lots of Wharton grads go to Law school after working for 2-7 years. Also, I think WhartonAdvisor said that only 15 were premed, which is a stupid thing to do at Wharton. Also, Wharton kids go on to consulting, marketing, and other fields besided IBanking.</p>
<p>Sure wharton kids can do other things, and many of them do as not all want to surrender the best years of their live to ibanking slavery. conversely, SAS and SEAS kids can and do go into ibanking, consulting, mktg, etc...</p>
<p>I would have to say the only reason why I didn't apply to UPenn is that it was a little too big and urban, and I felt it was too specialized in its myriads of programs and undergraduate professional divisions. Other than that, what I saw was great. I go to Princeton now, but I am still looking to get into UPenn's Veterinary School, arguably the best veterinary school in the country, with Cornell close, but still, behind.</p>
<p>Conversely others turn down Princeton because it is not big and urban enough.</p>
<p>Not that I was in danger of getting into Princeton anyway, but still ;-)</p>
<p>In addition, I was very suspicious of the Wharton School when I visited UPenn. The tour guide said many outlandish things about the building where the school was housed, including, but not limited to, "In the lecture halls vents release pure oxygen to increase brain function." Unfortunately, there is no scientific data to prove that releasing pure oxygen into a room would increase the brain function of its inhabitants, and if they did do that it would be a huge fire hazard. So I think someone was making stuff up. Nonetheless, it was a nice building.</p>
<p>haha pure oxygen...that doesn't work anyway...those oxygen masks for football players are useless</p>
